Heh, I used to ride a Yamaha Vino! If I wanted to hit 40 I had to lose weight...

2 wheels are awesome at any speed.

I miss riding. I was pretty good at it but the only girl in our group back then.

All the guys thought that was cool, but I only had eyes for Hubby (then boyfriend).

Oh, and I forgot to brag about a bone-headed stunt I pulled once on the way to San Francisco.

I decided to see if my bike could pull the redline in top gear.

It can.

The speedometer only went up to a wildly optimistic 85 MPH, so I had to calculate my speed from the tach and my gear ratio. I got up to 150 MPH.

And there in my rear view mirror was Hubby, right on my tail, on his Katana. LOL!

And thank You, God for sparing our lives.
