About Us

Having several friends with Harleys and a few with BMW's and Yamaha's and watching them take some fun weekend trips was too much for me not to be a part of, so I began my search for the bike of my dreams.

I knew that I wanted a touring bike and in particular a Harley. So I first searched the internet for Electra-Glides that had less than 5000 miles. Soon I was in touch with a number of dealers across our nation.

I wanted a bike that did not look like everyone elses was my other goal. I found several Fireman Editions and fell in love with the look. It was clean, came in a paint scheme that I liked and I think deep down inside I always wanted to be firefighter.

I had actually been working with one particular dealer out of the midwest that had two for what I believed to be a fair price. When we spoke on the phone the dealer asked me where I lived and it was then I was notified about California and smog requirements.  This forced me to change my stradegy a bit since to smog the bike would place the cost of the bike in the same range as buying new.

I began to email every dealer within the State of California with an offer to purchase and San Diego Harley Davidson came back with the best price. After a few back and forth callings, I became the owner of the best bike I have ever owned.

I can't tell you how much fun this bike has been! In the few months of ownership I have been to San Diego, Lake Tahoe, Reno, and various parts of Northern California. Probably one the most rewarding was the Toy drive this past Christmas with others from the San Francisco H.O.G Chapter.  Poor Santa got a little wet from the rain but we all had fun despite the weather! 

Over the past months the love of my life, Lissa has joined me in my travels. A short trip to the Monterey Peninsula on the back of a Harley and she has been bitten by the travel bugs. The best comment I heard after that ride...."Wow I never knew how much I was missing!" 

In the next months, Lissa and I will be sharing our travel with friends and how the progress of the event we're planning is evloving. It is hoped that you will return to Ride 2 New York City to follow our progress.
