We're pleased to welcome a new addition to our family of blogs: Road Kill Diaries, a "biker blog" that will follow my rediscovery of the joys of motorcycle riding after too many years out of the saddle.

Riding motorcycles is part of my family heritage. My father rode a motorcycle. So did my mother (pictured above astride their Harley at the end of World War II). It's safe to say I was born into a biking family in 1947.  Amy's father owned an Indian so we both have riding in our genes.

Road Kill Diaries will chronicle our rediscovery of the fun of motorcycling and our rediscovery of a place called America. Please give us a visit and come along for the ride.
