Going 100 mph on a motorcycle would get my blood pumping so fast I'd have a heart attack.

I did ride a guy's big dirt bike once. He told me what to do, I headed off down the trail, and when I came to the first bend, I tried to turn and it went straight. I finally bailed off it, it went about 10 feet and hit a tree. ;~D

I love the sound of a Harley. In fact mine is louder then Macks. I had him put straight pipes on it to make it louder. Love going under underpasses and reving the engine.

I'm not big on doing 100...I have done about 90 tho:).

Mack fusses a bit sometime because he says I go to slow, I don't keep up with him. One time I told him, I wanted to lead so I didn't feel so pressured to go fast. We were going down an expressway, I was really enjoying not having any pressure, thought I was within the speed limit, my speedometer doesn't work. Mack pulled up by me laughing and said, look at my speedometer. I was doing 90.

Well, don't feel bad. My bike is actually for sale. I've never really gotten comfortable on them, and like riding with Mack better then riding my own. We got a Gold Wing a few years ago, and that is a blast.

I actaully feel safer on a horse.

As far as the speed goes, I can go fast. I just like to build to fast slowly, on horses and bikes, that's my problem with runnin barrels. YOu have to be full out in 2 strides. Keeping up with Mack is like that, you have to be full throttle in 10 feet.

Snow stopped, sun is coming out - I might just stay here instead of going to Mexico.

Good saying:) Our guardian angels are probably tired, and hate seeing us get on the bikes. But they have sure done a good job for us.

Thank you Lord:)

I worry so much about bike riders. There are a lot here and they are so vulnerable it seems. People in cars seem to think they can stop on a dime. I've watched some dummies tailgate a bike, for heaven's sake. How the guys on the bikes keep their cool I don't know.

Anybody that tailgates me on a bike won't do it again. I slow down and give them the one finger wave. :)

Last picture - my footwarmer. Contessa, Tessa for short. She's a 9lb min pin, smaller than my cats.
