The past weekend was probably the greatest weather for riding we've had so
far this year (where I live anyway). I must've encountered hundreds of bikes of
all makes and models...it was awesome! Was I out riding? Nope. I was doing the
only thing that I enjoy more, spending quality time with my family. When my
kids are older I hope that quality family time and motorcycling won't have to
be exclusive, but with them only being 3 and 1, that’s how it is. I did get to
sit in my yard with my son on Saturday staring at all the bikes go by my house
and that was pretty awesome.
One of the bikes I ran across this weekend was the one pictured in this
meme. I don't know about you, but I think it's pretty inspiring seeing this
gentleman riding in spite of missing an arm. I guess I'd like to think that I'd
have that same determination to ride if I was in a similar situation.
It is stuff like this that gets me motivated to get out and ride whenever I
can, even if it's just to work and back. I've mentioned in a previous post (here)
that we have to work at doing what we enjoy. This man is definitely living that
statement. Is it weird that I’m saying this right after making an excuse for
not riding? Shit! I’m contradicting myself again! Oh well, like I said, I was
doing the only thing that I enjoy more than motorcycling.
