hi my name is tracy. i have been riding this bike for 2 years now. love it. wish i could ride more but you all that live in pennsylvania knows that that is tough to do. havent rode in over 20 years and decided it was time again. almost for got how fun it is. i drive a big truck for a living. been driving for 25years still going strong. home every day. cant beat that. i enjoy fishing,football and hockey(go pens!). i have 2 wonderful children, 1 boy and 1 girl, both mid teens. LOVE YOU GUYZ!!!!!!!!!!! and to all i do greatly appreciate the comments, pictures and stories just sorry dont have time to enjoy them all.be safe-have fun-and enjoy all that you have. dont drive faster than your angel can fly.   

     my bike is a 07 yamaha v-star 1100 classic. i have had for two years now and over 9500 miles on her. the longest trip is a 3hr round trip when i visit my kids. looking forward to some longer ones in the future.some stuff that i have add was a lite bar,sissy bar,saddle bags and lite visors for the passing lamps and head light. all yamaha brands. there are good products. i added a memphis shade 17" (im short). i like cause its easy on/off. takes a little time cause of the lite bar. and of course a set of hard krome 2.75 big straights. nice sound not to loud but can be at times. of course will be adding things as i go.

   i live in pennsylvania. we have all 4 seasons here so you cant always ride. its get cold in the winter. fall and spring is not to bad if its above 50. i try not to ride below that. yes im a fair weather rider. i also try not to ride if there is a chance of rain. to much to clean on bike. be safe out there and enjoy the ride. thanks

i have been away for several days. work, some ot. friday nite highschool foootball games and saturday collage football games and ot.(xmas is coming). i believe that it is going to take several day just to get caught up with all the things i have missed here.    went for a little ride on my bike today. the 1st one in several weeks. it has been mostly not so good weather here(PA.) rain and cold. with the days getting shorter, its dark when i leave work for home. i dont like riding when its dark. its 45mi. home. even worse its rutting season for whitetail here and they are all over the place. not a good mix. bike vs. deer.  the ride was good. i miss summer already. cant wait until next year. i still will try to get out every chance i can. even if its to go around the block when the temp is 20F.    it is amazing on how much still goes on here at CCC even when you are not here. CCC is still a good place to be. its nice to see alot of new members joining in. and real nice to see the regulars still hanging on. i know it has been only a week, but it seems longer. to all ride safe and enjoy all that you have.   THANKS  TRACY                          

 I saw you hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line. But you didn't see me put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday. I saw you pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk. But you didn't see me playing Santa at the local Mall. I saw you change your mind about going into the restaurant when you saw my bike parked out front. But you didn't see me attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief. I saw you roll up your window and shake your head when I rode by. But you didn't see me riding behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window. I saw you frown at me when I smiled at your children. But you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless. I saw you stare at my long hair. But you didn't see me and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love. I saw you roll your eyes at our Leather jackets and gloves. But you didn't see me and my brothers donate our old ones to those that had none. I saw you look in fright at my tattoos. But you didn't see me cry as my children were born or have their name written over and in my heart. I saw you change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere. But you didn't see me going home to be with my family. I saw you complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be. But you didn't see me when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane. I saw you yelling at your kids in the car. But you didn't see me pat my child's hands knowing she was safe behind me. I saw you reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road. But you didn't see me squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn. I saw you race down the road in the rain. But you didn't see me get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date. I saw you run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time. But you didn't see me trying to turn right. I saw you cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in. But you didn't see me leave the road. I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass. But you didn't see me. I wasn't there. I saw you go home to your family. But you didn't see me. Because I died that day you cut me off. I was just a biker. A person with friends and a family. But you didn't see me.
