Welcome!

Alright, alright alright!

Welcome to my blog! So, this is new territory for me and I'm still not 100% sure what the hell I'm doing, but hopefully this comes through clear and understandable.

If you're wondering who I am and more importantly, WHY you should spend your precious time reading my blog or following me... please allow me a quick introduction-

My name is John Barnes and I'm pretty much just a regular guy with a regular job that happens to also be a huge motorcycle enthusiast. I'm a bit of an introvert, I'm married to my best friend and I am a proud dad. I have been riding motorcycles for a couple of decades now, and I have been writing for just a few years. Up till now, I only wrote for two places (this blog makes three, if it counts, that is). I learned that I had a knack for writing almost 20 years ago, when I wrote a few articles (opinion pieces mainly) for a local motorsports magazine. It didn't pay, but at the time, the novelty of seeing my words published in a print magazine was all the pay I needed. I couldn't keep up with it due to, well... life. It wasn't until three years ago, when I was perusing the ole interwebs that I came across an opportunity to start writing again. I sent in a sample and the next thing I knew, I was creating slideshow articles for Internet Brands' Harley-Davidson Forums (you can read my stuff here- https://www.hdforums.com/articles/author/john-barnes/).

So... WHY should you follow me? I don't know... I have a passion for motorcycles and for the joy that they bring and I know that there are a lot of folks out there that need just a little bit of joy. There's also a lot of negativity in the world and I strive to keep my head above those dark, murky waters. I want my readers to be entertained, enlightened and hopefully looking forward to the next publication. I will always bring my readers an honest, down to earth perspective that they can relate to and try to offer some helpful insights along the way. So, if you're still here, reading this...thanks for taking the time, your time, to read this and I really hope you follow my journey.

Sincerely- John Barnes, aka "MotoWriter"
