We asked you to "Tell us why you ride?" and the response we got was awesome.

Timothy was picked at Random today here at RevZilla HQ and we couldn't be happier to reward his honest soul searching response.

Timothy Gordon, a.k.a. The Long Rider told us:

"I ride purely, and only, because it is fun. I ride because I enjoy the freedom I feel from being exposed to the elements, and the vulnerability to the danger that is intrinsic to riding. I ride because I love freedom, independence, and the movement of the ground beneath me. But most of all, I ride to better understand myself, my machine, the lands in which I ride, and to seek out and know other bikers like myself. The Long Rider"

Amen, Tim. Look for 5-hundo Gift Credit posted to your account and thanks to everyone in joining in the fun of the "Tell us why you ride" contest.

Ride on my brothers and sisters...
