Well, it's a new year, and the start to a new endeavor for Bitchin. The "Bitchin Attitude" newsletter is, as always, free to all. Sailing, cruising, riding Harley's and adventure travel as a way of life. That's what it's all about.
I haven't been able to get out on my Harley Trike for a few weeks as it's gotten pretty cold up here in the Sierra's. But we did manage to get out on the boat (our "new to us: 1979 San Juan 28, "Attitude.") on New Years Day, and even though the winds were light on Lake Oroville, we still managed to spend four great hours on the lake under sail!
Pass it on (please!)
The newsletters link to my website where I have cartoons, photos from cruisers, motorcycle cruising and funny stories, and it links to where all the goodies are, so as not to bore you with long email Newsletters.
Oh, and I only plan ONE per MONTH! .
PLEASE forward this to any friends you may have who are into the boating, motorcycle or adventure travel lifestyle, and let them know the "Bitchin Attitude" newsletter is starting (and yes, it's free!).
Even if they used to get the newsletter, they probably won't until they re-sign up. My previous email list had over 27,000 emails that I had built up over the last 35 years with my magazines, and other businesses over the years.
Please tell anyone who is interested to email me at bob@seafaring.com and say "I'm in!" (or something like that!) . Just like me, it fast, cheap (free!) and easy!!

3 As Opposed to 2?
After over 60 years of riding, it looks like it will be a trike from here on. It seems when I had my hip replaced (it happens when you get old!) I dropped my Heritage Classic three times in one month (always while stopping! LOL) so I decided to go for a three-wheeler.
This is the "new to me: 2013 Harley Tri-Glide. It was a little weird getting used to not putting my feet down when I stop, but one or two times cures you of that habit!
