In 2000, after almost 40 years of riding motorcycles, I embarked on a Harley-Davidson-organized cross-country ride called the Posse Ride: Sea to Shining Sea with hundreds of other Harley riders. We went from San Diego, California to Tybee Island, Georgia. Hooked on the Harley-Davidson organized rides, in 2001 my fiancée, Christine, and I went on the Route 66 ride from Chicago, IL to Santa Monica, CA with 1,000 riders. In 2002 Christine (now my wife) and I went on the Lewis and Clark: Corps of Discovery Journey from St. Louis, Missouri to Seaside, OR. In 2003 we made the journey to Milwaukee for Harley-Davidson’s 100th Anniversary. This year, Christine and I will embark on another Posse Ride – called the Lower 48 – and travel with 500 other riders through the 22 states west of the Mississippi.
