What Do Hosting & Harley Davidson's Have in Common!

A few frustrations today after spending 7 days and 7 nights on my website to only have my hosting company telling me I have some fixes to do and that is the reason for my constant 500 Internal Server Error! It sure makes it tough to sell houses if you can't get your site to come up so your prospective buyers have the opportunity to search for homes!! 

In my frustrations and not being tempted to wipe it out completely, I ventured out for a ride to get out of the office on my Harley! Yep - a fired up Harley chick on a bike is something you don't want to come up against (so they say)!!

So I gladly share my view with you of the Salt River and Saquaro Lake, one of the few lakes we have here in Arizona.  It makes for a very quick ride from Gilbert, approximately 30 minutes through cascading cactus and natural desert flooring! If you aren't accustomed to the view, I hope you enjoy it here in the video as I wanted to share with you what I enjoyed to burn off the frustration!

Hi Candace,

Just love that Harley. I'm not a rider yet but I visited my local Harley shop only yesterday to check out the bikes and to inquire about taking lessons too. That might help!!  LOL

Any advice??

I thought you might mount the camera and we might get the tour as you rode. Never thought of you as a born to be wild biker chick.

You're killing me Candace. Not only are you riding the bike I'v been dreaming of owning, you're doing it in such a beautiful place too!

I hope you were able to ride away your frustrations!

Steve - best thing I ever did! I bought mine from a private seller I found on ebay! It turns out he just lived less than 1/2 mile from my house! I had four picked out and this is the one I had always loved. It's a Fatboy, however the original owner converted it into a Heritage. You can save yourself thousands if you go private, there are some amazing deals out there. I took my riding course local and it was great, three days and the last day once I passed the test, I went and had the endorsement added to my license! The crazy thing is that I hadn't had any experience for riding two wheels ever before! I've put almost 3500 miles on the bike since August 09!! I love it! Go for it!  As for kind, that is a personal preference. The

 

Terry - I attempted that once over the summer and I've not taken the time to get it rigged just yet to secure it. But that is coming! The holder I had didn't well with all the vibration! Keep an eye out!  Biker chick at heart but like my girly side too!

 

Craig - "killing me (you)" -- LOL -- go get one, you will never regret it! Yes, yesterday was rather cloudy and not the most beautiful day to ride but the rain has kept it in the garage as of late. At least I don't snow to contend with, that would kill me! Don't dream, do it!

Thanks for sharing such beautiful scenery with us. I know you had to feel better after taking this ride. Enjoy yourself, you deserve it.

Candace, you fooled me...I thought it was a Heritage...like you I also have a Fat Boy...I suppose I should do a post about a ride like yours.

I think Craig would look great on a Harley if he had Heather Locklear on the back holding on.

It is amazing how we have learned to put such faith in our websites our blogs and our other social media outlets and then when they go down we get frustrated as well as our clients. (It can never be back up fast enough)
