The First Kick.

 I've been talking to myself about doing this for too long, so here I am. Hello Web!  If you've stumbled upon this I am sure you're wondering "just what the heck is Making Motorcycle Sounds", so today's post is a simple introduction.   Simply put, I struggled for a while to come up with a name for the place I'd blog my assorted exploits over many, many years of motorcycle misadventure, and finally had an epiphany of sorts one recent day while bicycle riding with my 9 year old son Danny.  Danny was enjoying himself on his bike and asked me if I liked my bicycle as much when I was a boy.  I told him that while I loved my bike, I was fascinated with anything with an engine, and would ride my bicycle around the yard and up and down the street, making motorcycle sounds and longing for the day that I'd have a motorcycle to ride around on.  As we rode around the school parking lot that day, I realized that I've been braaaaaapping and bwaaaaahhhhhing ever since - on my motorcycles or off - taking a shot at life from the saddle of every type of motorcycle I could lay my hands on.  Time passes, and here we are.

 I am imaging as I go forward with this that it will evolve to contain my ramblings on other topics as well.  I love - or even need - to build and fix things, 2 wheels and an engine or not.  I've been playing the guitar forever and still play when the mood strikes.  I've always got some crazy project that I want to share.  And then there's the motorcycles. Quite a few out there in the shop now; not as many as some guys but certainly more than most.  There are many brands represented, but I'm a Honda guy at heart.

Anyway, time is short here on day one.  More to follow as time allows.  If you ride, be safe and aware out there, and I'll see you on the road someday.
