A little about me & why I like Indiana  history

Indiana is a very beautiful state, if you can look past the daily
worldly things such as money, a nice stereo, or a fancy car,
if you can do this, you can enjoy life and GOD'S nature, the
scenery, and live life to the fullest.

After all lifes to short to worry about money, the things
you must to do tomorrow, etc...

I really feel free when I'm riding my motorcycle along the
country roads of Indiana, I seldom take highways, not
enough scenery, after all, I was born and raised on a farm.

You realize what you've missed once you started riding a
motorcycle, you can see more and enjoy it.

Please preserve the nature and wildlife, it
was here before you were!
