Welcome to the ramblings of the gabby ole scooter trash, Tequila John...TJ for short. Fifty years young...and been ridin since I was 'bout twelve. Started out on a '71 Honda CL-70 street bike...currently ride an '05 H-D Softail Deluxe...Rattler.

Man, ya gotta love all those detachable gadgets they have for these rides now days. When puttin 'round locally, usually have her stripped down to a pretty sleek lookin scoot. But, in less than 20 minutes, can turn her into a Geezer Glide for the long hauls. Ole Rattler travels more in her Geezer Glide personna these days, as the missus and I do a good bit of distance touring...40k in the three years we've had this scoot. You'll also see my 11-year-old son in some of the articles I post on the site, as he also likes to hit the road with his ole man.

And, all that touring is what this site is mostly 'bout...a place for me to keep up with those memories, and share 'em with family, friends, and anyone that happens to stumble into my li'l corner of the internet. The site is a li'l on the skimpy side right now, but, as with all "livin" things, I'm sure it'll grow over time.

Anyways, enjoy the articles, and check back often 'cause I plan to go back and write up some past rides...and mebbe finish up the Sturgis article someday. If'n ya have any questions or comments, feel free to drop me an email.

Ride safe...
