I believe....

I have paraphrased the words from a Harley Davidson video.   These words ring 100% for me.  I can't nor will elaborate more than what is here. I have take the liberty to add a couple of lines at the end that are my own that are in blue. You will find this video at this end of this blog. I am a biker and this is what I believe:

• I believe in going my own way, no matter which way the rest of the world is going.
• I believe in bucking the system that’s built to smash individuals as bugs on a windshield.
• Some believe in the man upstairs.  I believe in sticking it to the man down here.
• I believe in the sky, and I don’t believe in the sunroof.
• I believe in freedom.
• I believe in dust, tumbleweeds, buffalo, mountain ranges and riding off into the sunset.
• I believe in saddle bags and we believe that cowboys had it right.
