IT’S ALL ABOUT FREEDOM
Welcome to August everyone. For those that read my articles, it can be perceived that I’ve been leading to writing about politics. I wanted to take this moment to maybe set the record straight in a small way. You may ask, what does this have to do with motorcycling and the biker lifestyle? That’s incredibly easy to answer. It’s all about freedom.
Why do we ride? We love the feeling of how it makes us feel free from our daily burdens and relieves stress. The exhilaration of it all. The freedom of it. Why do some of us live the biker lifestyle? Again, it is based on the freedom to do as we please and express ourselves how we see fit. Why motorcycles? Those machines which bring it all together as personal expressions and as mobile art that help others see our freedom of expression for our lifestyle.

There’s more to this but I think you get the picture. All of these things combined are bound together by one very important thing. That thing is the FREEDOM to do so. Without freedom we risk the loss of it all. All the things we have taken for granted for generations.
There’s a quote from a book by G. Michael Hopf. “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” free society? For if they don’t live in a free society, they will surely be enslaved by those pulling the strings. We used to live a moral code. We used to have social standards. We used to have the choice to live our dreams.
Unfortunately, the good times are past us and the hard times are upon us. I find it hard to stomach the possibility that men of this generation have become so weak that instead of facing the possibility of losing all of our freedoms that our veterans have fought for in the past, that they would rather identify as women instead of manning up.
Here is something to ponder on. Like him or not, President Ronald Reagan quoted this very profound statement that rings so true. “Perhaps you and I have lived too long with this miracle to properly be appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”
This country desperately needs the return of the strong men, and women, if we are to recover from this steady downslide we are in. Why would we not want our future generations to live in a
I don’t know how this can be stated any clearer. I’ll take this moment to thank Born To Ride Magazine for allowing me to deliver these messages to you through there pages. They are another example of how we still have our freedom to do so. Support your local freedom fighting businesses. They need our help.
Ride Free my Friends.

I It is truly amazing the number of people I have met due to our mutual love of motorcycles. And Saturday, August 19th at 10:00 am will be no exception!
Lucky for me, I have been invited to Gator Harley Davidson, a family owned and operated dealership, in beautiful Leesburg, Florida for their next great event. Why might you ask? Well to share years of knowledge and wisdom in the financial services arena. Sometimes your “Knight in Shining Armor” is really a biker in dirty leathers.
My name is James Irwin, and I am a financial professional with a very unique approach. I help people find money they are losing unknowingly and unnecessary and then show them how they can save that money for their financial future without impacting their current lifestyle.
There are only two ways to help people financially. You can either help them find them find a better product than they have today, one that potentially pays a higher rate of return but may require more risk. OR you can help them be more efficient with the money they already have.
I believe in the latter of those two approaches, and that there is more opportunity to serve my clients by helping them avoid losses than by predicting the winners. You are probably wondering how I do that. Well, there are five major areas where most people are losing money unknowingly and unnecessarily.
Make sure to stop by Saturday, August 19th at 10:00 am for coffee and doughnuts to find out what those five major areas are and how we can help. And please don’t worry, no one who has ever worked with me has been put on a financial diet. No one wants to do that!
We want to buy Harley’s from Gator and live a stress-free life in retirement.
What do all bikers like least when we’re out on our bikes? Rain! I know none of us like to
