That's a great advertisement. One of my closest friends is a gritty mean looking biker but he's the nicest person. He'd give you the shirt off his back if needed.
He helped me to realize that big tough guys have a soft spot too when he told me that I was the little brother he never had.
Cool tattoos in the video by the way! Enjoy your blog much.
This blog was originally started to record a five month, 21000 mile tour of the US on my Harley-Davidson. I continue to use this blog to record my own motorcycling adventures, wherever they may be, along with my thoughts and opinions about motorcycling generally.
Having devoted most of my adult life to being a ‘company man’, the transition to the next phase of my life away from the construction industry was always going to include some challenges. Planning and then making my dream trip to explore America on my Harley-Davidson proved to be the ideal vehicle for clearing my mind of old ways of thinking and being. I rode 21,475 miles, in 27 US states in four-and-a-half months.
My motorcycling trips have continued, with journeys across much of Europe, New Zealand, North Africa and Cuba.
A few years ago, I set up and now run Tour1, which takes riders on Harley-Davidson Authorised tours across Europe. See www.tour1.co.uk.
I live just north of London in the UK.
A 2006 Road King called 'The Leading Ladies' due to the portraits of ten 1940's and 1950's actresses painted on the bike. This is the motorcycle I use to ride through America on.
My Custom Harley 'Tradewinds'
Called 'Tradewinds' this bike has a H-D engine but almost everything else is custom, made specifically for the bike.
My Custom Harley 'Amelia'
Built in 2012, this is a seventies style traditional chopper, with considerable engraving and a tremendous paint scheme

US Tour - My Favourites Places I Went To....
It is difficult to choose, but here is my list of the highlights of my US tour, in the order I saw them in....
31. Back roads and small towns anywhere.
32. Meeting really nice people, in just about all of the places I have been.
33. The camaraderie of bikers. Everywhere, US.

Excellent! Great ad!!
Great study in human nature. Although I find my prejudicial nature taking over.
I cant' see drinking beer out of green bottles!
Fantastic. Dig it.
That is a great one. Seen it twice.
Dear Gary:
A scenario like this is common at just about any BMW motorcycle event. And most of the woman I run around with actually look tougher than these guys.
Fondest regards,

Thanks for all your comments. It made me chuckle to see this video and it obviously did the same to many of you as well!
Michael – Many bikers would share (almost) anything with other bikers. Glad you like the blog.
irondad – nearly all the beer in Europe is in green bottles. I have never thought of that before, but believe me, it still tastes good.
Jack – I heard that rumour about BMW events. Is it true that BMW stands for Big Mean Women?
