3. Factoid: James Dean, Steve McQueen & Clint Eastwood all rode Triumph motorcycles, not Harleys!

4. Famous motorcycle quotes: May all your encounters with the law begin with the words, “NICE HARLEY!” Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul. Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Love honestly, and never regret anything that makes you smile…

5. We had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life. ~~ Jack Kerouac ~~ Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass: it's about learning how to ride in the rain! Half the fun of the travel is the aesthetic of lostness. ~~ Ray Bradbury ~~

6. Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight. The sun on your back. Two fists in the wind. And the horizon teasing you farther down a great road.

What a Ride! ~~ Hunter S. Thompson ~~
