A Day On The Road With Hubby

When I met hubby, I had a Harley Fund jar

When my baby turned 21, I would have a bike

My mind was made up. I have had one ever since

My baby is 47 now. When I was pregnant with him

I slid off my BSA in some soft sand. My mother

made me promise no more motorcycles until

my babies were grown up. We set 21 as the age.

We have Yamaha motorcycles now, and I have had

a BSA, Suzuki, and Yamaha motorcycles

Hubby has had Honda and Yamaha.

Now he rides a 1900 Stratoliner

and I ride a 1300 V-Star

Hubby calls his the blue hulk

and mine, little red riding hood

Yesterday was a perfect day for riding

We don't ride Harley's as when I first

bought a bike after many years

Hubby said, I wouldn't be riding

with him on a Harley as he likes

to ride and not fix.

He was right, as other than

maintenance, no break downs

ever. It is important to pay close

attention to other drivers, as

they don't always see you coming

Harleys are usually louder than

other bikes, and when I rode one

while vacationing, a screw fell off

the bike and the seat was not

comfortable, and the bike shook.

Author's Note: Yesterday was a beautiful fall day for a ride with leaves bright and shiny, and the sun warm, and the air fresh. I have been hesitant about riding this year, due to the smoke from Canadian wild fires and my age and health. I will continue to ride. I will have probably only put on 500 or so miles this year, but yesterdays ride makes it all worth it.
