I’ve always favored mountains over big bodies of water. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I just got burned out on it. When I was in High School we used to live in Chicago across from Ardmore Beach and Lake Michigan. I used to go to the beach a lot back then, but once I moved out to the burbs and away from the lake I never went to the beach again. <BR/><BR/>After living in flat Illinois for 25 years, the mountains are a nice change of scenery. And the air, it just smells so fresh in the mountains. <BR/><BR/>As for motorcycles, they are a lot of fun, but they are dangerous. If you are serious about riding take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Course first, many states offer it for free and if you pass you receive a motorcycle endorsement. <BR/><BR/>The class is great, not only does it teach you how to ride a motorcycle, but it teaches you road strategies, things you can do to stay alive out there. Every time I get chased by a dog while I’m on my bike I remember that I learned how to get away from dogs in the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Course. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!<BR/><BR/>AnnaAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360049377814446360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17554196.post-56977761456322044092008-10-22T10:58:00.000-05:002008-10-22T10:58:00.000-05:00Thanks for checking out the blog.

Love the shots of Lake Michigan - nothing like that out in the west. Anyway, I am trying to decide whether to jump in and buy a bike. Your blog is making me favor the purchase, while my family are all against it!Kurt Klimischhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006308340255121334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17554196.post-20290323143590658932008-10-21T12:19:00.000-05:002008-10-21T12:19:00.000-05:00Stumbled on your blog by accident.
