JP’s Ramblin’ On 07-19

Summertime is Here As it usually happens, this all started in the beginning. Yes, as we were beginning our Mother’s Day ride to the N. GA mountains, when much to my surprise, we encountered a flat tire while roaring up Interstate 85 just south of the Pleasant Hill Road exit. Needless to say, that situation wasn’t too pleasant. We had to get towed home. Thanks to my HOG membership, and nearby EZ Motorcycle Towing Company, that situation turned out to be painless.   The following days while at the service department of Hellbender Harley-Davidson, because of circumstances, I found out…

Women’s World 07-03-19

Women’s World By Myra McElhaney Highrise Harley After spending most of my life on the back of someone else’s bike; I got my license and bought a bike at the ripe old age of 59. When my husband died, I missed him, and I missed riding with him. One of those things I could change! Learning to ride had to be easier than finding another good husband with a bike! At first, I just wanted to learn to ride. I didn’t know if I’d ever get a bike of my own. I just couldn’t see how it would fit into…
