Life is Short

My name is Doug and I ride a 2006 Honda VTX1800 Retro. My wife passed away from cancer in June of 2008, and we used to ride together all the time. She had a Honda 250 Rebel, and I had a Honda Shadow Sabre 1100. After she died I sold both bikes and bought the VTX.

I have had the bike for only about a year, but already have over 15,000 miles on it; having logged over 7,000 this summer alone.

I am interested in getting to know other riders, and meeting up for some riding time together.

I rode to the Oregon coast today and it was incredible! Only minor "spits" of rain off and on, patches of sunshine, and no wind to speak of. Went all the way to Florence and back. As I was heading out of Florence I looked at my odometer and noticed that the gauge showed exactly 16,000 miles. When...
