Thank you all for your support and encouragement. It is very much appreciated. Randy and I make each other smile all the time. We truly are matched for the other and are enjoying our time on and off the bike. I told him he is everything I could hope for in a partner AND he has a bike. Yee Haa!!! How much better can life get.
To answer your question Nige. I have been riding since about 7 or 8 years of age. I will never forget that first ride I had on the back of that HD sooooooooooo many years ago, in CA where I grew up, headed for the beach with the wind in my face and feeling like this was the best thing I would ever experience. I was right. Still feels just as good to be riding with the wind in my face. I realized at that tender age what a great thing being on a bike could be. Nothing has changed except the destination. (It's all beach in AZ) I have said for 25 years, "The only thing I miss about the ex is the bike".
Thanks again for all the support and I am looking forward to getting to know folks here on the site and appreciate the hospitality. Hope to meet a bunch of you in person at some functions.
Debra
