I have been riding 70 years and have consistently been inspired by the commonality of motorcycle enthusiasts with the people I meet not to mention experiencing the magic of being on two wheels and the beauty of the entire Lower 48, all of Canada and Alaska. The BMMC has enabled me to make lasting personal friendships far beyond the business world of Harley-Davidson. We (Catherine and I) have traversed the Lower 48, Alaska and all of Canada and each year look forward to reconvening and participating with our BMMC friends.
