| Bikers in full bloom
around these parts I'm so jealous that I find myself following them and I'm not even headed to the same place. I've been doing really good and moved home got a job and now I can save for a bike of my own. to be in the wind would be the perfect sober gift for myself so would you all take a ride for me and report how the open road treated you |

For the three years I lived in New England, my little Rebel 250 was stored in the cellar while I drank myself out of my first marriage. I envy you, I can almost smell the ocean, the fried clams, the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire, Cape Cod, so many fine places to ride. You've got the world ahead of you, glad to hear you're settling in and I hope you get that new bike pretty soon. Clean and sober riding is definitely a gift of recovery. Riding around here has been nice, Friday afternoon I rode around town and took in three AA meetings. T-shirt weather in the morning, cool enough for a riding jacket at night. Pretty soon it'll be too hot to ride during the day, other than short hops, so that's the time to head north into the mountains in the early morning, come back later on after the sun's gone down. Year-round riding here, that's the benefit of living in the Phoenix area, and some beautiful sunsets too.

| Feeling it... It's a dry heat. ![]() Pain don't hurt. Feel the burn. These are all cliché's I experienced this weekend and my shoulders are tight this morning. My brother-n-law is using my truck so all I have is the bike. Kinda like the old days when all I had was a bike. Today, it's cool to be clean because I wanted to help and being down to one vehicle is a choice, not a consequence. Astro is right, we ride year round here in AZ and during the summer we ride 24hrs a day, too (without leather).

Im antsy to get on my scooter and ride like the wind myself. However ill have to wait to have my hip replacement surgury. I go this Wednesday to the doctor to find out my surgury date. I so can't wait. All i can think of is emmediately after surgury ill be able to stand and walk with less pain than what i have now. My husband and I have a Harley Road King Classic which we made into a trike and still adding on to it, and we haveHarley 2002 Sportster. We just recently purchased a cute Honda Scooter with a trike kit added so i can get my endorsement. Its an automatic as well which will make it easy to ride without shifting at the moment. We have taken many many rides out on the Sportster and i so enjoy being a passenger riding close with the man i just married. Getting away from work, crowds, bills, yard work and ride free. No drugs, no alcohol no lies, just open honest and trusting. Living happy joyous and free. Just like an Eagle soaring up high in the sky.
