The Ride <strong>of</strong> a Lifetime<br />
Cruising in paradise on a V-Twin motorcycle.<br />

I must admit my perceptions <strong>of</strong> motorcyclists are stereotypical and come from limited experience. On<br />
one hand, I envision <strong>the</strong> outlaw bikers personified in “Rebel Without a Cause,” yet I also recall a parade<br />
<strong>of</strong> Harley folks riding with stuffed animals through <strong>the</strong> streets <strong>of</strong> Portland, Oregon to benefit sick kids,<br />
including my niece.<br />
So I was surprised to learn that <strong>the</strong>se days, many <strong>of</strong> those baby-booming “easy riders” have grown<br />
into successful pr<strong>of</strong>essionals who are passionate about motorcycling as recreation. Their creed is, “It’s<br />
not <strong>the</strong> destination, it’s <strong>the</strong> ride.” With <strong>the</strong> recent opening <strong>of</strong> RideTCI in Providenciales, avid motorcyclists<br />
can now enjoy that ride in one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most beautiful destinations in <strong>the</strong> world!<br />
