The first time I ever rode on a motorcycle was in 2000, the same year I got married. Yep, my husband had a passion for riding. Of course back then I rode on the back of his bike.
I had those stereotypical thoughts of bike riders, you know black leather, rough hangouts, mean people... until l became one.
There is camaraderie amongst bike riders, sort of like an unwritten "code of ethics". When we pass each other on the road we exchange a wave or a nod and if you are in need, other riders always stop to see if they can help. I was amazed at the folks who own and ride bikes, the range of ages and professions and today more women are riding than ever. I've learned it's a two way street though, when I meet people for the first time and tell them that I ride they cannot believe it. Most say they can't even picture it.
I went to a rider's safety class where I learned to ride and I really enjoy riding my own bike now! I currently ride a Harley-Davidson Street Glide.
I wanted to share with you this passion I have in common with millions of people because of the good things that come out of it. Bikers get together to ride for fun and enjoyment but many times they ride in organized rides to raise money for someone in need, toys for children at Christmas or charities.
I am partnering with Pat Rogers Harley-Davidson in Concord, NC throughout this summer. Every month there is an event at the dealership. You do not have to own or ride a bike to participate in the fun!
June 28th, TeamHeidi will be there with one of the big RE/MAX balloons and the band Super Glide will keep you entertained.
To win the bike on my home page, you can contact me to purchase raffle tickets or just go to Pat Rogers Harley-Davidson, they're $20 a piece or 6 for $100. The drawing will be in September at the dealership.
The proceeds benefit the children of police officers in our area who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
