Farther On
Today was a strange day. The morning was filled with those activities that bring our mortality into focus; blood tests and ultrasounds. It was sunny and clear but with a hint of winter in the air. In fact the clouds towards Buffalo looked full of snow. The radio reported whiteouts and chain reaction accidents 100 miles north of us yesterday. As we ate lunch in town, clouds moved in and the sun faded away like the hot summer.
When we got home the roads were still dry and the mercury was about 41 (5 for the metric types). Hmmm,,, maybe a short run to nowhere specific. We live very close to Niagara Falls. “Honey I’m going to pick up a loaf of bread” close. Maybe a run there to catch the last of the autumn leaves and the fall’s spray plume in the cold air,,,
We headed into Niagara-on-the-Lake to pick up the Niagara Parkway to follow the river. Niagara is an off season ghost town during the week. No crowds to push through today. The river road was gorgeous, the leaves down or in the last stages of colour against the grey low ceilinged sky. Running up the hill of the Niagara Escarpment, the drizzle started. Jackson Browne on the CD is singing Running on Empty and David Lindley’s red hot Rickenbacker BR-6 lap steel is wailing as I reflect on the season that is coming to an end.
The Native Peoples associate the seasons to the points of the compass. Cruising bikers have a similar cycle I mused. Soon the Road Glide will be in my garage with the Battery Tender on and the fuel stabilized while I play with chrome doo dads and must haves for next season. I will be poring over maps and tour guides plotting out the runs for next summer and making lists of places to shoot on camera. Winter will be a time for reflection. This fall season is the time for feeling gratitude for the bounty of the harvest, the good friends I met on the road this year and for my health that will sustain me through next season’s rides.

Our Outlook

I want to talk about the folks out there who are still looking down on us who ride metric bikes. Now this is not a new subject, but after reading my friends blog about this subject I had to add my point of view. I too have encountered some "buy american" riders over the years and found that they don't live what they preach. Now one day when I was in the local HD dealership my wife was looking at a really nice HD jacket that was made in Bagladesh. I just happened to notice the shirts were made in Shrilanka and Singapore. But what really floored me was that about 1/3 of HD bikes are built with imported parts. You know what, that doesn't bother me. My Ford pickup has parts from different areas of the world. What does bother me is the arrogant people who have the gall to think they're the only "Americans" because they bought into an image Created by some Ad dept. working for HD. Just a little background here. I was born in America to American parents who were born to American parents and so on. My 3 older brothers and I have all served America in the US Airforce and US Army. My sisters husband also served. Listen all you who ride HD's. I don't care what kind of bike you ride because you have the right to buy what you want and thats the way it should be. Let me just say for the record that most HD owners I know are not the bashers. I ride with 2 HD owners regularly and consider them good friends. I have encountered several over the years that want even speak to me because of what I ride. So be it. I can get along with nearly anyone whether you like me or not. But I, like many others out there on the rode and through many walks of life, are just as American as anyone. Next time you want to point fingers and make accusations, first look at the label inside your Hanes underwear or the label inside your shirt or pants. Where were they made? This world is connected in many ways and sometimes there's no getting around that. I'm not saying we shouldn't buy American, but my point is we should all look in the mirror and examine the accuser before we go making accusations. Know the facts. Live your life and make a difference for what is right and wrong in this great country of ours. Stop the in-fighting and Live and let Live. God Bless America.

Description:
Well I have been into bikes since 8. First a Honda minitrail 50 then sl 100, then 350 then a 1100 Sabre. Now Honda doesn't have a big cruiser so I went with Yammi. The 1900 Strat is on tap now. I love Metric rides the best. This is a nice ride, and for a long cruise should suit us well for a few years before we move on to a couch of some sort. CC is a great place to get gear, and meet folks with similar interests. Thanks guys
