I just returned from Harley-Davidsons 105th anniversary celebration in Milwaukee, but before I blog about that, I have to catch you up on Sturgis, and more news I heard this week. Harley stuff to come in a future blog. The big talk around Sturgis this year – as well as after the rally, was about how low attendance was compared to last year. Funny, I noticed a bigger drop-off in 2007, but nobody was making a big deal about it then.

There is beauty in this element of freedom that is unequalled. Wild and free is not something you see, its something you feel. That is what it was like to watch Samantha Morgan in action.

My last three speaking engagements have taken me to points east, south, and west meeting a variety of women riders. In between I squeezed in a trip to Chicago to attend the national Marketing to Women Conference where I educated myself on the latest trends, statistics and cultural shifts taking place regarding women. It was fascinating!

In my lifetime, I have experienced the pleasure of simplicity many times, and I have appreciated it many times. But have I really learned it as a way of life? Apparently not, because it seems I have to keep relearning it.
