Motorcyles , Star Gazing , Real Estae

I've been riding motorcycles all my life , had everything from Suzuki's to Indian to Harley's , Currently a 2012 Harley Davidson Street Glide , When things get me down "wind therapy" brings me back up . I've been a believer of the unknown for as long as i can remember , using telescopes and computers to track stars and planets , galaxies and universes , it fascinates me . Real Estate  is near and dear , having owned a property management company for over 10 years , 20 rental properties (we owned outright) , 2 car washes and a laundromat . we also owned a few warehouse building . I like to look at expensive real estate and get ideas , how was the house built , the interior / exterior design , how to apply it.
