I don't know when we ever experienced a Summer like we did this year for Harley riding. Every weekend seemed to allow us an opportunity to ride. Most Saturday afternoons, after I closed up the library, we would hop on and go. What a gift, to set astride that bike, arms around the man of my life, and...the only decision facing us in that moment is north, south, east or west!
Life has its moments and those are to be appreciated for the treasures they truly are. Yes, June, July, August and September gave us days and weekends, sometimes 4 days at a time, to ride with the wind on our face and enjoy the beauty around us. We never rode in rain, though there were times when we could smell it. The wind never beat us down, but kept us cool. The sky above us was never more blue or the clouds more white.
I hope we keep the memories of this summer with us for many years to come, to remind us of better days, when snow is on the ground and dust is on the bike.
