    Greetings All

    Cant believe its been nearly a year since I last posted on the blogs.And nearly a year since my sister lost her fight w/cancer.In the last year I have noticed that a lot of my energys have been devoted to taking care of family crisis' seemingly endless,a lot stemming from being overly anxious/taxed by/for my daughter & grankids or my Mother,n siblings.The list of woes too many to touch on.

    The one constant that has pulled me thru time after time,is my love for riding my motorcycle.Its funny when I bought it 11 years ago,things were a whole lot different,n my prospects were a lot brighter,never realized having the motorcycle was going to be a key to my own mental salvation thru some of the toughest years of my life,dealing with struggles I never imagined I might weather.Thru out it all its been a source of pride & humility & inspiration on so many different levels, a choice I am glad I made,in site of what jobs it may have cost me,or whatever image I presented to others.I knew on some deeper level it answered a need in my own existance to push the envelope,to stretch the fabric of my being,testing its limits,looking for a significance to my own need for answers to questions as old as time itself...

    Finally feel like the veil is being lifted on my life,getting past the loss of my sister & the blows that have come since,its a sense of having paid my dues & its time to start looking at the future again in a better light.I still feel blessed,n if I never rode another day in my life,I would have many memories of riding that I would treasure forever!!!

    stay safe & enjoy the ride !!!

  • LCStrat Good to see you back. I know what you mean about riding. The bike is my mind clearing mechanism. I enjoy a lot of hobbies and stuff, but the bike trumps them all. I guess I'll always be a biker at heart.
