MyRide's Blog

They just might be the luckiest riders on the road right now. That's because Julie and Jim Kelly of Sheboygan were married on what was supposed to be the luckiest day in years -- 07-07-07. So we're making the Kellys our MyRide on MyFoxMilwaukee.com Riders of the Week -- the last ones of this riding season.

Julie and Jim ride a 1998 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic they affectionately call, "The Green Machine." The two of them enjoy pleasant rides through the Kettles. And when they're not tooling around on this two-wheeler, they're having fun with their son, Collin James. What a life!

When you see a photo like the one below, you know you're looking at a guy who loves to ride. He's no poser -- and that's exactly why Steve Pedersen is our pick for the MyRide on MyFoxMilwaukee.com Rider of the Week.

Steve rides a 2002 Yamaha RoadStar XV1600. He took it to the Badlands of South Dakota on June 27, 2007. He and his brother did this ride -- and knocked out 2300 miles in five days. That's some serious riding.

Steve's bike includes more than a few upgrades -- including Vance and Hines Longshots, Kurayakyn skull air cleaner, Dyna 3000 digital ignition box, a Lindby highway bar and more. Steve says Yamaha made a Road Star, a Royal Star, a Speed Star, a V Star -- but never a Sini-Star -- so he named his bike Simon Bar Sinistar (which happens to be Underdog's -- the cartoon character -- arch-nemesis. Creative!

Once in a while you come across something you don't see very often. This time, it's Andrew Lange's 2006 Titan Bobber -- one sweet ride. And it also makes Andrew the MyRide on MyFoxMilwaukee.com Rider of the Week!

So tell us more about this bobber you say? It has a 93ci S&S motor, super side back tire and it's painted black with purple ghost flames. Look real hard -- and you can see them. Andrew enjoys going on poker runs and benefit rides in his spare time. As he puts it, it's a freedom unmatched to get out and ride -- wind in his face, blacktop ahead of him. Ride on Andrew!

Now here's a guy who loves his ride and his family to the core. The picture says it all -- and that's why Ray Miller is our MyRide on MyFoxMilwaukee.com Rider of the Week.

Ray's ride is a 2000 Honda Aero 1100 nicely tricked out to have that classic motorcycle look. He did all the leather himself -- and was going for that old school look. Ray's been riding for some 46 years -- and got his start on his uncle's 1948 Harley-Davidson Panhead. Great way to start -- and his newest bike is a great way to keep the spirit alive.

He might own the fastest motorcycle ever featured on the home page of MyRide. And that's the reason we selected James Lukas from Oostburg as the MyRide on MyFoxMilwaukee.com Rider of the Week.

James' ride is a GSXR 1300r Hayabusa. He bought it this past summer. James says he's a huge fan of motorcycles -- and likes to be in with the rest of the guys. Sweet ride James!

Here's a story with a happy ending. Donna Birling and Greg Page enjoy riding on his 2005 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic. And we're making them our featured riders of the week on MyRide on MyFoxMilwaukee.com because, well, they're getting married this month (maybe it's already happened).

This is Greg's fourth Harley -- and he's been riding for more than 30 years. The two of them live in Waterford -- and enjoying riding every chance they get. By the way, Greg's a volunteer firefighter for Waterford -- and has been for almost five years. Thanks for your service Greg -- you, along with thousands more -- are the heroes of this country.

He's not afraid to tear up the turns on his 1992 Harley-Davidson Springer -- and that's one of the reasons Gary Schrubbe is this week's MyRide on MyFoxMilwaukee.com Rider of the Week.

Gary bought his Springer in 1999 -- and has since done some motor upgrades including a cam, reqired the bike's lighting with LEDs, added a solo seat, 36-inch drag bars and custom paint. He rides with his wife and friends -- and he tackles at least one major road trip each summer.

Gary says his bike never had a windshield -- and it never will. Ride hard and safe!

Congrats to this week's MyRide on MyFoxMilwaukee.com Riders of the Week. They are three people -- all from one family. Their names are John, Sue and Tyler Jazak.

John is the one on the Honda Shadow on the left. Tyler rides behind Dad most of the time. But keeping pace with the boys is Sue and her Yamaha Majesty Scooter. The MyRide web team understands that John has been known to "sneak a ride" on the scooter once in a while. Why not?

That's because Jim and Dawn O'Brien of Hartford took a picture of themselves on their bike with Harley, their dog. We couldn't resist this picture -- and that's why we're naming the O'Briens our MyRide on MyFoxMilwaukee.com Riders of the Week!

Just for the record, Jim and Dawn adopted Harley before they bought their bike (in case you were wondering). When they're not enjoying short road trips, they're caring for their newborn boy, Cayden James. Looks like they're on top of the world, eh?

When you talk about classic Harley-Davidson motorcycles, you tend to think about bikes like the one Danno Armstrong rides. And we're here to tell you, Danno is this week's featured rider on MyRide on MyFoxMilwaukee.com.

Danno's ride is a 1977 H-D FLH. The bike's been going through some changes over the years. This shot was taken on New Year's Eve 1999. That's a cold and a cool way to end the millennium. Danno's thought on this day -- "Gotta love that global warming!"

He's relatively new to the motorcycling thing. But that just means his passion for riding is going to grow and grow. That's one of the reason's we chose Todd Minkoff of Sussex as this week's Rider of the Week on MyRide on MyFoxMilwaukee.com.

Todd's ride is a 2006 Harley-Davidson Street Glide. He and his wife love to ride the country roads on beautiful, sunny days. And while Todd's son isn't quite big enough to ride with him, it looks like he'll be pretty comfortable in the saddle once that day comes. Congrats Todd!

We're saluting one of the most loyal MyRide users on the world wide web. Mike Moy is this week's Rider of the Week on MyRide on MyFoxMilwaukee.com. And he has certainly earned it. This guy has submitted to the MyRide web team more motorcycle events, rides and rallies for the calendar than anyone else.

From what we've learned of Mike, this is one guy who enjoys his ride -- which happens to be a 1999 Harley-Davidson Road King. If you can look beyond the distractions in this photo, Mike's bike has a 103 cubic inch motor, ported heads, 18-inch wheels and a Bub's boom can exhaust. That makes for one sweet note going down the road. Ride safe Mike!

We're featuring more than one rider this week on MyRide on MyFoxMilwaukee.com. This time around, we're putting a big group of American Legion riders front and center. Looks like they're enjoying themselves.

This photo was snapped just before the fourth of July parade in New Berlin. These riders are happy to report they not only had some of the best weather around for a parade -- but everything went smoothly as could be; a real safe ride. We're betting the people watching the parade were glad to see them too.

Thanks to everyone who showed up for the Wisconsin State Firefighters Memorial Ride on Saturday.

Motorcycling is a great way to bond with another person -- especially when they're riding with you on a regular basis. That's the case for Connie and Michael Kolter -- this week's featured Riders on MyRide on MyFoxMilwaukee.com.

Connie and Michael enjoy riding on the weekends most. Judging by how clean the bike is, we're guessing they enjoy spending time polishing this beautiful piece of machinery.
