Ready to Ride!

Howdy!

It's been a while but there's been all sorts of things going on. I'll fill you in on just one portion of the adventures.

Rod bought himself a little birthday present in mid-January.


Yes, the crotch rocket grew up and became a 2013 Goldwing. Spoiled? Yes. Happy? Yes! That's just my opinion. He of course loves it. Since he brought it home, he's put 1,200 miles on it. He doesn't ride when it's freezing out or the roads are iffy. But if there's sun, he's on it.

In fact, it was a 70° day today and when he got home from work, we took it out for dinner. Ok, that sounded weird but I'm sure you understand. We rode it to dinner and for a nice ride. 

One of the things I learned last summer is my mom's Harley jacket is HOT! It's black leather and in the summer sun, I think I was melting. That jacket is awesome for winter riding so it'll still be going out for rides, but now I'm set for the summer...


A Joe Rocket mesh jacket with a waterproof removable liner. There's road armor all over and corseting in the back to help it fit better. I like the corseting. It looks good. The white shows up better when we're on the road. Yes, Dad, I thought of safety. The silver coordinates with the bike. There's swirly embellishments on the sides and sleeves. I love those details! Thanks for the awesome jacket, my man!

Of course we have group rides planned for this summer and I can't wait to hit the road in style and comfort.
