My almost 19 yr old who has only been T1 since 15 is now starting to work detailing Harleys. I just found out that part of this job requirement is they will teach him to drive a bike. My husband has a road King....has had it since my son was 2. He says he wants a new one and will sell the old one to my son in a few years. This doesn not make me happy. Hard enough to accept him driving a car. Please help me not fear this so badly.

Let me start with an introduction, My name is Jordan Tutor and I have been diabetic since 1988. This past year I finally bought a 1973 cb750 that I chopped out - bobber style. I would like to mention that I also lost my bother-in-law to type 1 the year prior to my bike purchase. He had just completed building a cb550. His family is still pretty devastated by his passing and slightly resentful of my continuation, but I digress. I have learned of honda choppers.com through my father-in-law, and in doing so learned of many rallies and benefit rides but non are for diabetes. I am located in north Mississippi just outside of Tupelo and would like to try and set up a ride benefiting diabetics without insurance or for diabetes research. I would appreciate anyone's help in trying to accomplish this goal not to mention it would be nice to ride with some people that understand the stigma and struggles that diabetics endure on a daily basis.

I too am missing the wind in my face and the sound of the twin cylinders growling. I am about to grab a handful of quarters and my helmet then head up to the local grocery store and get on the kiddy cycle ride out front.

I've finally done it! I've started my own group of Senior Riders! You can't tell us from the other 'serious' riders - check out our colours...

Welcome. My profile photo is me on my 2007 Road King Classic. Looking forward to another riding season in the NorthEast (live right outside of D.C.). Ride safe everyone.
