My parents recently drove from Arkansas to California via Route 66. Their 50th anniversary is this month. They drove their minivan there to visit old friends near the bay area where I grew up.

They see me riding often and listen to my tales of the rides and the friends made. I have told them often how bikers are some of the best people you will ever meet.

My parents recently drove from Arkansas to California via Route 66. Their 50th anniversary is this month. They drove their minivan there to visit old friends near the bay area where I grew up.

They see me riding often and listen to my tales of the rides and the friends made. I have told them often how bikers are some of the best people you will ever meet.

As they got to the Grand Canyon, they were taking pictures and enjoying the scenery when a couple of bikers from Idaho rode up. As they were talking about their trips, my dad asked if it would be alright to stand in front of one of the guys bikes for a picture. The biker looked at him and said, "Well, sure, but first put my leather jacket on and sit on the bike".

My folks now have a new understanding of what I am always talking about.

Its good to remember every person we meet along our journeys is someone's mom, dad, brother, sister, spouse or friend. less...

Coming back from the Hog Rally, we stopped to get something to drink...parked next to us was an elderly couple...I would say about their late 70's, early 80's....I tried to get her to take a small ride with Steve......she winked and said her husband would'nt approve!! Thought it was cute!

I travel a lot by my self and I get folks really interrested in how I feel out on my own traveling on my bike. My answer is I like to ride, if no one can get off work to go when I am ready to go I go alone I'm doing what I Love with or without a friend along. My husband was once ask "You mean you let her take off across the country by herself?" He said "LET HER? I don't remember he asking me if she could go? She did ask me to go along though". LOL

We were out riding and a woman came up to us and we did the same thing, plus we did a group shot for her to show her family,
it's great to be us..and show others that we are real people.
Stay safe and give your parents a hello from NJ
