Riding preference: "You can't beat the friendly atmosphere that exists among people when you're ' touring. I also' like the fact that you can go where you want, when ' you -want, with whom you want. My wife, son, daughter and I often tour together, and we've taken some nice long rides to Florida, Nashville, Niagara Falls, and New- Magazine: "I love MOTORCYCLIST; it's a super magazine. All the others are about the same, they're clones of each other, but MOTORCYCLIST is really different. I particularly enjoy the 'Street Wise' hints from readers and the maintenance articles. The editors are doing it right: MOTORCYcLIsT is easy to read and. you can just relax and enjoy it. I think it's great!" This endorsement is purely voluntary. No fee or other consideration is paid.
