Unwound after work

Stretched the legs on Saturday

Didn't find whom we were looking for on Sunday

I am an American Soldier

I am a warrior and a member of a team

I SERVE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES and live the Army Values

I will always place the mission first

I will never except defeat

I will never quit

I will never leave a fallen comrade

I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills

I will always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself

I am an expert and I am a professional

I STAND READY TO DEPLOY, ENGAGE AND DESTROY THE ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES IN CLOSE COMBAT

I AM THE GUARDIAN OF FREEDOM AND THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE

I AM AN AMERICAN SOLDIER

pardon the soap box but if you employ or date a Soldier, be supportive and give he or she a hall-pass to train; you'll thank them the next time something explodes

Hi Jeff,

The latest post on CoC from Hobbs on two wheels was really a good read. 
I can totally feel what he was saying.
I grew up with motorcycles around me. My dad spent his youth in 
Baltimore and he has some good stories to tell about that period, but 
also about riding and wrenching when he came back to Germany in the late 
60s. So, sitting on a motorcycle has always been natural to me, but at 
the same time riding bicycles has always been important to me too!(with 
not being legal for a drivers licence and living in a small community, 
you had to have a bike)
At the moment I am torn between my BMW restoration, roadracing bikes and 
my MTB. The phrase "forever two wheels" is actually ever-present in my 
daily routine. To make a long story short, as a graphics designer and 
prospective illustrator I wanted to give these words a distinctive 
expression(in german) on the walls of the shop I´m sharing with some 
friends, some roadbikes and motorcycles.

Best regards from northern Germany

Forever Two Wheels. Literally

As of late I starting thinking of why "Forever Two Wheels" is a phrase that really strikes a chord. When your in the daily grind of work, family, and responsibilities, I think its pretty common for us to day dream about what we would RATHER BE DOING. Everytime I get caught in this mindset it usually results in something with two wheels.

Two years ago I got back into mountain biking after not touching one for ten years prior. And just this past year I got back into BMX after a 15 year hiatus. Couple that with street bikes, and my dirt bike addiction, and all I can think about is the next moment when I can get on the saddle of one of these.

I went to Moab last weekend to ride MTB's and unintentionally came up on some BMX trails. HOLY SHIT, it was the funnest weekend I have had in a long time. Brought me back to being 13 again.

I guess what I'm getting at is.....  the reason i've fallen in love with these "vehicles for pleasure" is because they have taken me to some of the most insane places around the world and provided me with unforgetable experiences, all on two wheels, and all with friends. 

So awesome to get out and just explore.

Sorry to get all sappy and shit.
