When some friends invited me to lunch and a bike ride, I accepted. I just got my bike fixed last weekend - all the normal stuff like oil change, service, replaced gaskets, etc. I haven't been riding as much lately but decided to go. One because I haven't taken it out since I got it fixed and secondly, because it was such a nice day out.
Riding my bike is a straight shot from my place to my friends. Just get on the highway and go. Yup, going 85mph on the highway is a good speed. Believe me if you will but some of the vehicles pass me by like I'm stopped in traffic! The flow goes abit fast and I usually enjoy riding to my friends house. Today must have been a fiesty day, I just wanted to go a bit faster than average. And with my bike just fixed it felt like a brand new bike. Everything ran so perfect, how could I not want to ride fast?
So we went to our usual spot riding around in the canyon and to a biker hangout. The past few times we've gone it's been a bit boring. The speed limit is only so slow and of course, regular cars go really slow. But to day thankfully the Super Bowl took away alot of traffic and the roads were free to be the speed demon, I wanted to be. And speed demons we were! Riding around the hills and on the curves were so much fun. Good practice too! One of my friends just got her bike license a few months ago. In 4 months, she's already racked up over 1200 miles! She's getting braver and braver - and today was the first time she rode on the highway. She's almost like a biker natural... and it's so great to have other people to ride with!
So today was a really nice bike ride. Great weather and people to ride with. I kept thinking, I really like my bike... and still 9 years later, I'm still saying what a nice bike! Yeah... that Harley and I have been buddies going on 9 years. Amazing, isn't it? Whew!
