The Open Road .....

Rocky Mountain Harley-Davidson - June 22, 2013

The joy that explodes in my soul each time I take to the open road is one that is hard to explain to anyone who hasn't experienced that same joy and freedom.

That I am blessed to be on this journey with you, on the back of my beautiful Street Glide is a hard one to describe. 

To say that I am living my dream is not enough. It is so much more than that.

Arriving at my destinations are always bittersweet.

Joy in the arrival to connect with all who I have journeyed to meet but sadness as I depart from my dear friend & lover, the long and winding road and all that I discover as I ride.

All of us were meant to live a life of passion. I have never doubted that for one moment as I travel on my path, on this journey called life.

Tomorrow I will take to the road once again as I leave the Denver/Loveland, Colorado area and journey to the J&P Cycles Open House.

I have made new, exciting solid friendships and visited old friends as well.

LeAnn Illingworth - Friendship that has lasted for 22 years.

As much as I love to visit, I also love the feeling, the pure, unadulterated excitement each time I pack my sweet Freedom Glide. 

The thrill as I swing my leg over her, nestle down into the seat, give a couple of wiggles to get that position just perfect, then turn her over, hear the roar as she springs to life and the click as I put her into gear. Oh my!

This simple powerful process can solve any problem, dispel any worry and place a smile on any face.

There is nothing more important than following your passion in life. Keep your passions where you can see them, say “no” lovingly to all those requests that aren't meant for you as you say yes to your heart, kick her into gear and never look back.

Be happy! And enjoy the ride!

A little about Lady Road Dog....
I am the Founder and CEO of DesignWraps Brands, a proud "Made in America" manufacturing company, offering headwear and apparel to the "motorcycle culture" as well as women suffering from hair loss.

I purchased my first Harley-Davidson in 1986. She was a Candy Apple Red Softtail Custom and I loved her with the same passion as my sweet Street Glide. But it was a much different women who rode those highways of America in those lazy days of the 80's.

Follow me as I continue my journey traveling across America, visiting every licensed Harley-Davidson dealership in the lower 48 and who knows......a trip to Alaska is in the works.
