For The Love Of Motorcycles ith everyone’s talks
about what’s “normal” and the “new normal” I thought maybe I should look up normal. What is it to really be normal? The “normal” range infers percentages; depending on the criteria you may choose or prefer to be abnormal or in some cases just not as normal as others. We all try to stay upbeat and think about the good things. Of course, that’s easier for some people; they find no problems identifying what they’re thankful and blessed to have. However, we have family friends and neighbors that cannot see the world in an optimistic fashion somedays. A lot of us may take some solace and joy in our love of riding. Thankfully, we’ve been able to do that on some sunny days. I take it as an important time for me to just be with Harley, Harley Time! I live in the country, so it’s often a lone ride, but those are my favorite! I typically or “normally” have a destination that will put me in the company of some awesome bikers, but I must admit the ride to get there is so pleasant!
So, as practice makes perfect, I plan to continue my lone rides in hopes that we will be able to fellowship together soon! Lone rides are great, and are certainly time well spent, but I do miss all the amazing rides we used to go on together I suppose we all feel like we have a lot of weight on our shoulders. Questioning and thinking about the future implications of changes and how they will affect us all. Those are not easy points of debate with blurred lines of what is correct or incorrect, what is right or wrong; It’s just always nice to be able to ride it out! We have all had those rain or shine rides. The shines are welcomed, appreciated, valued and filled with good times; but those rain days, they show your character! Pull your bootstraps up, fasten your helmets, and stand ready to ride “For the love of motorcycles!” So, in the lull, try to check on your neighbors, send someone a card, tell someone you love them, And make as much motorcycle time for yourself as you can! Stay blessed, stay safe and keep riding!
