Happy Father’s Day

Published on June 10, 2019 under Born To Ride

While on a family trip to Austria two years ago, Fran spotted an Almhütte and commented to her father how she would adore a hut like this in her back yard. An Almhütte is an Alpine hut that is found in Austria, Switzerland, and Germany. It’s commonly used for animals grazing in the wild to seek shelter from the weather.

Ramble on … June 2019

Published on June 4, 2019 under Born To Ride

Ramble On. … By JP Brady WARNING: This could be dangerous. That’s what the sign should have read. But it didn’t. In fact, the Alabama County Rd 548 sign was almost invisible. We missed it the first time by. Leaving Marietta, GA and riding back roads on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, taking GA Hwy 78 over the GA/AL line, we quickly spotted our next turn, County Rd 66. Fine. So far. But where was County Rd 548? It was supposed to be our next right. Right. Making our way into Heflin, AL, I realized we had missed our turn. Now…

WHY YOU NEED UM INSURANCE

Published on May 21, 2019 under Born To Ride

WHY YOU NEED UM INSURANCE Having the right insurance coverage can make all the difference if you are involved in a collision that is not your fault. State minimum required liability coverage is $25,000 per person with $50,000 maximum payout per incident. This amount is rarely adequate to pay for the severity of injuries that motorcyclists and their passengers often experience when involved in a crash, yet it is what many at-fault drivers carry. To help provide additional coverage for your injuries should you be hit by an uninsured, or under-insured motorist, make sure that you have Uninsured/Underinsured motorist coverage…

Born To Ride Movie Review

Published on May 20, 2019 under Born To Ride

This month, it’s “Wild Hogs” starring Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, and William H. Macy. The film was released in 2007, and as far ‘biker exploitation films’ go, I suppose that definition probably doesn’t really fit. It is, however “wildly” entertaining if you are a comedy fanatic or middle-aged gay basher. The story centers around four middle-aged businessmen who bored with their regular suburban lives, embark on a road trip on their Harleys. Doug (Tim Allen) is a dentist; Bobby (Martin Lawrence) is a plumber; Woody (Travolta) is a bankrupt husband of a swimsuit model, who is divorcing him.…

Katy O. Ishee Road Rash ‘N Road Tales By Myra McElhaney Katy Ishee (pronounced “Is she” like is she coming or is she going?) is known in riding circles by her nickname “Krazy” and has lots of stories where she’s lived up to that name!
