Who is Bob L

Bob leaves for the 2009 IBR

I have been traveling by motorcycle around North America since 1986 almost exclusively on Harley's. I currently ride an average of 30,000 miles a year. The links on my page are to trip reports of some of my recent trips. Much of my riding is done in Long Distance Rider fashion, meaning lots of miles in few days. I have included links to a few LD Rider related sites.

Here is a photo of my last long distance ride, a 2004 FLHT Electra Glide Standard. As of September 2009 it had 95,000 miles on the odometer. Hey, I've got other bikes to ride too you know. Give me a break. I might mention that, on September 1, 2009 a big mule deer jumped out in front of me in Colorado, and totaled the bike.... And the deer. I was fine though.

I have also done some high mileage touring on a 2001 Kawasaki KLR 650, basically a large dirt bike or enduro.

So, does that answer who I am? Unless you want to know my whole name. I like a bit of anonymity, so am keeping my last name off this site for the most part. Ah ain't no Secret Agent Man, but ah also ain't no France Hilton, or whatever that girl's name is.
