SUPPORT OUR SOLDIERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVING YOUR FREEDOM??????? THANK A VETERAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I love this page of the site, because mostly just my friends come here, and it is a great way for me to be able to share this amazing life God has blessed me with, with all of ya. It has been tough being away from many of you and missing out on sharing life personally with you all. BUT, I know we have to give up some things to get others. By God's sweet grace, my life has turned out incredibly, my daughter is a saint, and though I miss my mom every day! Yet, I will never regret one choice I have made, because I followed my heart and trusted the soft but powerful voice inside my soul. That is, I believe, where our God speaks to us from.

 I am so PROUD to be an American!!!!!!!!

I am so happy for riding/rally season!!!! I can not wait to see all of my old friends across this beautiful country, and make so many new ones! I am lucky as all! Have a bunch of shows lined up, (see the up comings page) and more coming in all the time! Seems Bags is makin a name for her old self!

Just got back from HOG ROCK and BENNY'S ! What parties! Hard to stay sober I'll tell ya!!OH MAN! Can't believe I am still breathin!

Pics pages should be up...

Many of you all have asked me about STURGIS????

Well, this year.... NOPE!

 I'll be... BACK IN ALASKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will have the reasons listed here next month, because I think you all have a right to know why I am declining the Spoke this year. Please do know I am sad about this, but I made the decision out of self respect! :)

I will miss you all, and def see you next year there one way or another! xoxoxoxoxoxox

P.S.

I have to thank all of you again for helping me to this incredible place in my life!

 I'm not saying I haven't busted my proverbial HUMP for it, but without all of you and the support, many of you following me across state lines, and constantly spreading of the good word on the old Bags, I know I wouldn't be as far. Sometimes, I feel bad, that I am so lucky, but I guess God has a plan for us all, and if we give ourselves to LIFE 100%, and go out of our way unselfishly to help our brothers and sisters here, we will succeed in whatever we do. I gave up a lot for this dream, I guess it comes down to, how bad do you want it?

Still sober, and it feels GREAT!  Much has been happening, all good!  It seems that Jesus, AKA  (J.C. the big dude in charge) saw fit to send me a couple living Angels. We found each other at Hog fest in July.   It is said, the Lord works in mysterious ways... well, now I see!  Gave my life to Christ, and amazing things have been happening!  I asked God for something, and he gave me twice what I hoped for! I am beyond grateful to these 2 men and all the gifts of friendship, heart and spirit they have brought to my very lost self!  To my "Wingmen", thank you both, you have forever changed my life and I can honestly say, I love you both with my very soul!

TOO DAMN KEWL!   hehehehehee

 Whatever/whomever you believe in, there is something that runs this stuff, I am sure. Live your best life!!!!

We are all a work in progress, as long as we are progressing in a good way, helping our fellows along the way, being honest with ourselves, and loving from our hearts, shit just works out!                    SO....

People have asked me many times, "So, how does your daughter feel about what you do?"  The truth is, she digs me, and trusts me. She knows I am there for her first and always, and that what I do, the character I appear as, is not who I truly am. Or at least not all I am. I often wish other people would get that too. Especially the fellas I meet on the way. Seems guys have a real hard time separating the Bags from Suzanne. There have been only 2 in my life that could.

Besides, Chey has pretty much heard it all, and has been hearing my comedy for years. Because of our openness to converse on the subject, she knows she can talk to me about anything.  I think in a way, she is just kind of over "it". Meaning the whole teenage sexual curiosity thing. Curiosity and peer pressure are the 2 biggest reasons for teenagers experimenting. That coupled with a lack of a faith, and in many girls lives, the lack of fathers which I believe sometimes makes them seek that ideal, or safe place, in the arms and sometimes sadly, the beds of boys/men. Long before they should.

(But that is a chapter for the book.....)

Anyway, she is old enough to really dig it all, and we both love that because of this job, I can take her with me to places that most people never get to see. We are so lucky, and so blessed!

 I stood on this very bridge, (below) and remembered 5 years ago, when she and I didn't have a place to live. We "went campin" together for  a week, then found a friend to stay with till I got enough $ to get us a place of our own. I truly believe, there is no dream that can't come true!   Amazing!     What doesn't kill ya, does make you stronger!                                                    

She is my best pal!  Make time to take off with your kids! One on One if you can. You will be so surprised! Just when you thought you lost touch with them, and the world has gotten a hold... the child comes back to you again, if only for a moment... and it is beautiful! Besides, trust me, travel is one of the best educations you can give them! They grow up at the speed of LIFE and you don't get time back.

WHAT A BLAST it is to be a biker! Well, last of all, I want to wish you all a safe riding season, and lots of love and passion in your world! Chase those dreams people!!!

PLEASE, DON'T RIDE DRUNK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Drink till you drop, just don't drop your bike!
Feel free to write anytime, or even call! I hate the attitude some have gotten with the whole, "Don't want to bother Bags, she is probably so busy!"  BULLSH*T!  I will be available for my friends near and far anytime I can, for as long as I can!

Without all of you, I don't have a show! See ya down the road!

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxo LOVE  Bags!

Last of all,  on a personal note:

I am working with 2 dear friends, (a Father and Son) here in Denver, to help get the word out on their business....Liberty Hardwood Floors and Garland Hardwood. These guys are great friends of mine, and I am helping them with their advertising, and some sales. I would not be helping if I did not believe they are the best of both character, and craftsmanship. So... if you need anything done with wood... Ok ya nuts! Not that kind of wood! E mail me thru here, I am redoing both  their websites.  www.libertyhardwoodfloors.net

Get this..they just lost someone close to them both, (the son's mother) so together, they custom built an her casket.  (Leave it to a biker...)     It was the most amazing thing I ever witnessed. When I saw that, I knew they were not your average men, I knew I wanted to help them. There is nothing they can't create, and they are perfectionists, as well as bikers!  All I have seen is unreal!

On that note, I am outta here for now, feel free to write me here, ( I still answer them all!!!)

 God Bless y'all! LUV BAGS!

LIFE'S JOURNEY IS NOT TO ARRIVE AT THE GRAVE IN A WELL PRESERVED BODY,
BUT RATHER TO SKID IN SIDEWAYS, TOTALLY WORN OUT, SHOUTING "OH BABY WHAT A RIDE!"
