Im dreaming of a Harley Davidson

Like many men my age(35). I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Two young children has turned into two teenagers, and the idea that I may actually be able to consider something for myself though still a dream, but almost reachable.

My name is Steve, I live in a small town called Thunder Bay, On Canada. I am starting these blogs as an experiment. My experiment consists of to parts. 1- blog about my motorcycle passion. 2- advertise on my blog to hopefully raise funds to purchase a new Harley motorcycle. Like I said 'I'm dreaming of a Harley Davidson' lol.

I began my dream by putting the bug in my wonderful wife's ear about a year ago. I was promptly reminded of the pile of bills on the fridge that need attention more than my dream of a motorcycle.. In a last ditch effort quietly spent $100 dollars on our local Fathers Day Dream Draw tickets($20). In hopes that one of those five tickets gets pulled out of the 4000 printed. Wish me luck. Below is a picture of the 2012 FLSTF Fat Boy that is being raffled off.



I can almost feel the rumble under my ass, and the wind in my face. Can you imagine the peaceful feeling of it all. I've spent hours online looking at Harley's, prices and places to buy one. So for now I'm gonna blog on and see where it takes me. Please feel free to click on and ad for me, keep me on your reading list. Look back often I will post as often as I can.

Harley Switchback

Driving down the highway in my car :( a guy pulled right up beside me on what I come to find is a Harley Switchback. What a beautiful looking bike.





The price of this bike is three times what my car is worth, but the smile on that guys face is priceless.

Measly Beginings

I sat on a 1998 Sportster yesterday at my local Harley dealer. 16,000 kms on it with the 1200 upgrade kit nothing fancy. The dealer was asking $5800 Canadian for it.






The average Harley enthusiast would call this a "wimpy girl bike" I could care less. I thought the bike felt great under my ass. And if I had 5g's I may have offered it on the spot. Lol

Well so for my blog has generated 82 views and profited $4.80. Woohoo only $4995.20 to go. Thank you all for reading. Please pass my blog around I would love to see my blog pay for a good used Harley......;)

Humble beginnings, and Harley fever pt. 2

Well as promised my first street bike was.......





The 1984 Honda Nighthawk 650. Nine years old when I purchased it for $1200. It was a nice looking bike for its time, and the price worked for my income as a dishwasher. I took my m1 on this bike and it treated me well. The nighthawk only scared me once. I pulled out to pass a car and began the dreaded wobble. I regained control, cleaned my shorts and carried on. The bike served me well for three years, and 42000 kms. Before I re-sold the bike for $850. And I do miss her! This bike was the last I owned before adult responsibly started for me college, then a family. I've dreamed of being on a bike since, but haven't had the time or the cash to support it. Until I recently started watching the hit T.V. Series Sons of Anarchy, did I get bit by the bug again, and crave the feeling of the wind in my face once again. Harley, it's the word that occupies my thoughts daily. An obsession that has me searching kijiji for the right bike, and purchasing raffle tickets for the fathers day dream draw. Fingers crossed, lol wish me luck.....l

Humble beginnings, and Harley Fever

I've always dreamt of motorcycles. From a child like most boys, a playing card and a clothes pin was enough to stir my imagination. Cruising around the neighborhood with my childhood friends pretending we were a biker gang. Oh the good ole days.




When I was thirteen I was able to save money through odd jobs, and my measly allowance to afford a 1984 Kawasaki kx125. It was my pride and joy. I was lucky enough as a child to live more rural, and close to an old gravel pit which allowed me a place to play and experiment. This is the moment I felt an engine underneath me, and the wind in my face. This feeling pierces the soul, and releases endorphins in your brain bringing a peaceful sensation that I have carried with me to this day.





These are my humble beginnings. A time in life that holds great value to me. As I count down the days to our local dream draw. I will continue my experience on motorcycles. After the kx125 I got my license and purchased a street bike. Care to comment on a guess what it was. Click an ad and help me get a small step closer to my dream. Have a great day all!!
