This Weeks Feature Story

Subscribe to The Motorcycle Road Show

Mark McGowan started riding when he was 11 years old and had been heavily involved in desert motocross racing until an injury forced him to quit in 2000.  He took a couple of years off to heal, then bought a 2002 Harley Davidson Heritage Soft-tail and started street riding in earnest. He and his wife, Bev who rides her own Harley Custom Sportster, have put in a lot of long-distance miles. 

McGowan is also an accomplished poet and musician.  In fact, his handle on the internet is motopoet. 

Recently, he shared with us some great tales from the road and the track, as well as a sampling of his lyrical prose.  Listen to this week's podcast for the whole story.

The Week-Heather Walton.  Even though paralized at age 14 she still found a way to ride...and pay for it.

Beemerman and Harley Dude discuss Global Orgasms, bash Neil Peart (even though we love him), and other fascinating topics!

HD ponders some of his favorite traveling music.

----------------------------------

Heather Walton was torn from her normal life at age 14, when the car she, her sister, and her father were riding in, slid off a gravel road into a tree. "For all intents and purposes I died that day. The life I knew was over. My neck was injured; the third, fourth, and fifth vertebrae was broken. I was paralyzed from the neck down." writes Walton, in her account of those early days after the accident. (Due to extensive physical therapy and some miraculous healing, she has regained some use of her arms, as well as feeling in both her arms and legs.)

Her fiance', Steve, enjoyed riding motorcycles and she realized, "I want to go riding too, how are we going to do this? So we got clever and did a little research, and found out the little URAL motorcycles have got a sidecar already on it and so we picked one of those up." says Walton Steve engineered a way to modify the sidecar to allow her to sit in her wheelchair within the confines of a sidecar assembly. First problem: how will she pay for it? That is where the question, How many helmet speakers does it take to buy a bike, complete with a sidecar?  She found that helmet communication and sound systems were a popular, in-demand, item with motorcyclists and so her e-bay store, Heather Motorcycle Accessories, was born. She has since sold around 750 sets of helmet speakers and is a little over half way through paying for her rig. &nbsp;Her bike is a 2005 URAL Tourist 750cc with what she calls in her description, the leading link front fork setup. According to Walton, that means there is little give in the front fork, thus avoiding some of the bounce associated with most bikes. When sitting in a sidecar, the less bouncing, the better.
