Rackin’ up the miles!

We went riding motorcycles again today since they took the rain out of the forecast. We rode down some pretty, back country roads and went to dinner. The ride back was colder than going even with the jackets we took. Time to get a windshield on my bike!!
Bike Miles Today: 57 miles
Bike Miles Total: 150 [...]

Too confident for my own good

Well, I got to ride my motorcycle to dinner tonight. Duck cleaned both bikes up this morning. I went to ride around the neighborhood and was rather confident of myself — and took a turn a little too wide. I didn’t run off the road or anything, but realized it had been too long since [...]

Getting Over Hump Day

Wednesday has always been called hump day. Now, I am in no way a morning person. This morning I am dragging tail and wondering how to get over this hump day.
I’m excited about tomorrow because I have a hair appointment. My hair dresser had surgery about 7 weeks ago and wasn’t able to do one [...]

Riding in the wind

Well, we managed to go for a little ride today before the rain came. I was doing quite well, if I do say so myself — that is until the wind picked up. It wouldn’t have been so bad, if it hadn’t come at me from the side. I actually swerved in my lane [...]

We’re cruisin’ now!

It was such a beautiful day today! When Duck got home from work, we got on the bikes and rode to dinner and back. Nothing really thrilling happened like last time. The only thing that happened is I had to clean bug guts off my face shield. I’m definitely not riding without a face shield [...]

Women’s Intuition

Perhaps it was women’s intuition. Most likely it was God’s nudging.
Duck, Doodle and I went riding again yesterday evening. When Duck had gotten my bike out of the driveway (I have not braved gravel yet), I asked him if he’d checked the gas in my bike lately. See, his big, fancy bike has a gas [...]

The Cure for PMS

Going 55 MPH on a motorcycle — on the real, live road!
Ok, so maybe this isn’t a cure for everyone, but it’s put me in a better mood
It’s been raining here so much that all softball games and practices were canceled, but the sun peeked through the clouds most of the afternoon. Duck [...]

Never fear! I’m still here!

Wow, it’s been a hectic week. My buddy Amanda thought I must be riding my bike every afternoon, but unfortunately, that’s not the case. I went and got my official motorcycle endorsement on my license Wednesday, but I didn’t have a chance to ride my bike until last night. And then I was a little [...]

I passed! I passed!

As of 6 pm today, I passed the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s Basic Rider Course — YEEHAW! I am so excited! I now get to take this little card to the DMV, take the written motorcycle test, then I will be legal on the road. Don’t worry. I’m not rushing out onto the road just yet. [...]

On the Road to Biker Mama Status

Yes, I’m here. Yes, I had motorcycle class last night and all day today. No, I haven’t fallen off the bike. No, I haven’t hurt myself or anyone else in the class
So, I’m well on my way to be a Biker Mama. The class has been interesting. Last night was all classroom time [...]
