Gummiente's Roadhouse

We Support Our Troops!

Welcome to my site. If you like motorcycles, you have just found yourself a new brother. If you like Harleys and Urals, then kick off your shoes and put your feet up on the ottoman... you are home. Beer is in the fridge, bathroom is down the hall first door on your right and the guestroom is upstairs. No smoking, please.

Obligatory I Love Me Paragraph

My name is Mike and I am a bikeaholic. I currently reside in what real estate agents politely term as a "vintage house with character" in the lovely hamlet of Durham, Ontario and share this humble abode with my SWMBO Angie, my dog Hector (aka: The Wonder Dog) and Angie's two cats TC and Mitts. I'm an ex-Army Sergeant and former Millwright now working as a trucker for Mississauga, Ontario based Kriska Transport, which pays me enough to plug the occasional leak in the roof of the house and keep my beloved machines on the road. I ride an '07 Harley FLTR Road Glide and an '05 Ural Tourist, which serves as a limo for Hector and as my winter PMS stress reliever. Angie rides her own '06 Harley Softail Deluxe and together we spend much of our free time in the riding season motoring about from wineries to flea markets to bike shops and all points in between. Angie is an accomplished artist which, in addition to renovating the house, puttering about in the garden, tending to the apple trees and working in her day job as a Senior Project Manager for RIM (Research In Motion, makers of the BlackBerry), ensures that she has plenty to keep herself occupied with throughout the year. As for me, I ride in the summer and in the winter I sulk, drink beer and/or bang on my Pearl Forum Series drumset when not out doing doughnuts in the snow on the Ural. I'm a simple man with simple needs.
