hello everybody welcome back to another
edition of as the wheel turns it's time
for another turn on the Wheel of Life
yesterday or day before yesterday
actually I was in Kansas and today I'm
in Pittsburgh how about that I've been
doing a little bit of looking around
things online you know different places
to ride and how the motorcycle community
works nowadays and everything and I was
thinking about motorcycle equality or
the in equality variant I hate to go
into such a deep topic but I don't know
how things work out here in the
community cyclist because I've always
just been you know a lone wolf with the
bike can it all gonna you know whatever
right so I'm just thinking I was
thinking I've heard as I should I'll go
with what I've heard I've heard that
that these motorcycle rallies at the the
Harley get togethers or whatever I've
heard that when they camp out that
Harley's camp on one side of the road
and that everybody else has to camp on
the other side of the road and that
seems very hard isn't that some kind of
segregation now I was thinking if you've
got a bunch of cows in a field I'd
noticed that that animals sick seem to
segregate into their own little groups
by their self but they do it with
self-segregation air ain't nothing in
the world wrong with self segregation
I mean we all do that I guess it'll in a
way by either you know people of like
minds or whatever that ain't it can have
messed up if you segregate motorcyclists
there depending on the frame the
motorcycle that they buy if you do it
instead of them doing it to their self
that's odd
it's just something to think about I
mean about all the same products our
doing three six
okay I'm gonna go this away I guess I
may not buy products that say Harley on
them but they're still you know still
the same character
but I don't know what to say about that
I probably won't be going to any rallies
and spending the night well I'm not
gonna go to any rallies to spend the
night anyway because you know I carry my
I carry my house with me in a way so I
don't got to set up in a campground I
can just set up anywhere I want to but
what about some people what if your best
buddy is on a Harley and you're on a
Yamaha alright nothing wrong with you
nothing wrong with the Harley I mean the
bikes are a vehicle too it's all the
hours a vehicle right it's a vehicle to
fun or whatever but I do feel odd when I
go in Harley shops and forth they don't
the people seem to see what I Drive up
in and they might look at me a little
funny but now in the store I'll give you
an example I went in on in a little tiny
Harley store and and all I wanted to do
was pick up something for a helmet I
wanted to get a
you know anti-fog device and so they
bring me out one for my helmet and I was
like now that's just not right
and they said was it a Harley helmet and
I said no and they were like well then
it won't work because I say they didn't
say it won't work they just said it may
not work because it's not a Harley
helmet even though it's the same brand
of helmet that you use
I don't know exactly where yeah I'm on
the right note and that made me feel odd
and I've had people saying well oh you
got a Harley shirt well no I don't have
quality shark that well I was like I
snuck into the girl in all you know the
big Harley shop got star just she was so
nice
she wasn't friend sitting she just
happened to work at Harley she was like
screw them people I'd wear anything I
want to wear do this to do that well
that's a good attitude but I don't want
to I would not wear anything hey I'm not
gonna wear any kind of branding material
you know it says Honda or heart or
anything out I don't I just don't see
any worth in it I'm not advertising for
anyone unless I'm getting something out
of it that's my point you know but I
mean it's like like the iron Pony
Motorsports I've talked about that
before I love their products they're
they're not specific about anything
they're just wonderful products for
anybody it doesn't matter what you roll
up on you can roll away with anything
you so desire
isn't it a beautiful day today can you
believe it is 72 degrees on the 29th of
October in Pittsburgh yes guys that's
where we're at Pittsburgh and I'm going
to a raccoon State Park
now raccoon State Park was not where I
was originally gonna go it's just where
I'm ending up I was gonna go to the
river and downtown on the Ohio River in
Pittsburgh because I really think it's a
pretty area but I don't know about
during the daytime it might be a little
bit not so much fun so I decided to come
over here today depending on how cold it
gets tonight I might actually go up to
town and ride around I like all the
bridges up there I'm stupid I know that
night back to what I was talking about
was I'm not trying to cause trouble with
with any brands or anything I just you
know how I have questions about protocol
you know cuz I'm always trying to look
at what's available in any given area
when I'm there you know what kind of
meetups or greets or or whatever
and I don't know what people are welcome
to you know I mean do they even want you
at like Harley meetups or anything if
you're not riding their brand bike I
mean a lot of people are no drive for
five Harley's and they're not like that
at all they're all just wonderful people
that want to just have some fun they
don't care who they ride with or
anything and tell most of them ain't
gonna be camping anyway I mean I don't
actually have no desire to lay out in
the ground on the ground or anything I
mean the military taught me that that uh
yeah I just didn't need that oh great
we've got a big hill here and yeah
alright but I worked it out no stopping
in no stop till Brooklyn right
I love I've told y'all house the fall is
my favorite time of year you know even
if it is I'm depressed because winter's
coming
it is so beautiful it's just so
beautiful I don't know what kind what to
equate it to in beauty and it doesn't
make me happy
it does it does I know it's silly I
always used to think of the fall as a
pregnancy actually and because you know
that that that you go on into the
nesting phase and then the next thing
that comes up it's gonna be the winter
and the birth pangs of spring I know
that might sound kind of silly but
that's what I think about it okay
bitches that's just what I think about
about fall
so I look at it as a chance for renewal
cuz I so Spring sucks the first few the
first few weeks of spring a month sucks
all the rain back okay
just bad I've never been big on wet
weather yeah I don't guess know humans
are but I do know that when I'm riding
up in Seattle no I don't want to ride in
the rain or anything but I do think that
that was rainy yet there I still Sun a
lot of beauty in that that's the only
place in the world that I've ever been
to that I don't mind getting out and
getting wet in the rain
well I don't know Germany was kind of
like that I didn't mind exploring in the
rain and getting all wet and nasty over
there there was something about it that
I was okay with not didn't like but I
still found it to be enjoyable
it might have been alcohol because you
know I was wandering from pub to pub you
know just out doing my thing cuz I was a
wild young boy as we all was
I think I told you guys it's 72 degrees
but if I didn't I just told you again
and I didn't even I didn't even where I
got a t-shirt on under my coat today now
it's gonna get it's gonna get down to
like 62 it's the temperature is going to
drop in the next three hours but I'll be
headed back by then and won't suffer too
bad probably since I'm not going
downtown I thought I was going downtown
I would be probably stuck in traffic
right but not here let's open up this
hood here at the air and construction
ahead so if you've got any thoughts on
the whole segregation of the motoring
community and motorcycle family tell me
below and help me to understand how all
this stuff works because I don't know
how to work how it all works and it part
of the joy I really like group rides and
stuff like that you know even if you are
strung out because you don't know each
other and you got to set some rules and
all that stuff I understand all about
that but I think it's it riding in
groups fun there's something about a
motorcycle formation going down the road
that stirs the blood I live well one of
my houses is on a on a route that is a
motorcycle traveled route when I say la
I mean like
like a
you know a routing route that that they
take to Sturgis and all that kind of
stuff cuz I have a house over by little
start just right and when they pass my
house and they'll be there'll be a
hundred motorcycles in one of them
groups all different well yeah it's
usually Harley's but all different kinds
of stuff and they just make my blood
dump of course that might be their cams
in their engine right so they always got
nice bikes my bike don't dump but it it
hauls ass
look around we got Farmer Brown over
there in the field you can't see
probably Pennsylvania is one beautiful
beautiful state its underappreciated I
believe all because of Philadelphia but
health Philadelphia there's some fun to
be had in Philadelphia I've been out
over there during the daytime walking
around downtown and I've enjoyed myself
but there but Philadelphia does rule the
state unfortunately and and all the
politics because they have the majority
of the people yeah all you can say to
that just thank God that that we got the
the western half of the state to balance
them out a little bit oh look at that
I kind of think I'm gonna get off the
bike today and I'm gonna head up into
the woods and maybe do some hiking I
don't the COPD so this is the time of
year when I free better but today I'm
kind of having a hard time should say a
hard time I can feel some difficulty in
my breathing but I'm still gonna get up
there and walk around and push the limit
you know I'm not dead yet so I'm gonna
live while I can live
you should too it's hard not hard for me
but I mean just hard for people in
general to have health issues and now
that we're going into the wintertime
people with health issues of really
really gonna suffer you know because
like arthritis and and all of that kind
of stuff I have some arthritis problems
but there's nothing compared to a lot of
people I mean a lot of people have
really bad problems so even even if I'm
not gonna get worse I mean I'm 54 y'all
know that maybe in another 10 years
it'll heart worse and maybe it will
tomorrow but I but I don't care I love
it out here I'm gonna spend every moment
I can outdoors
I'm just a ding-dong right loving life
all right I'll talk to you guys when I
get back over here to Park that'll be a
different video though so make sure you
all stay tuned to or it I'll still be in
Pennsylvania
