It seems the "speech" is a part of riding now. I don't remember getting it when I used to ride before my multi year hiatus. When I get it I usually nod my head smile and tell them that I agree with them and their decision and that not everyone needs to ride a bike. I get mixed reactions, oh well.

A Harley Heritage, a Triumph America, a good Irish Whiskey and cigar. As close to Heaven on earth as I can get.
