Hi welcome to my blog. This is where I post comments about my motorcycle rides and adventures. I will be posting these comments mostly while riding my motorcycle using a Garmin GPS with Bluetooth and an integrated intercom so I can use the phone while riding. I use a service called Dail 2 Do which allows me to post a voicemail and it then transcribes the message and post on my blog. If you have any comments please feel free to leave them.
