hey Cheryl...GREAT thread idea!!
Above is an image of my exact bike (except mine was a gun metal grey with Navy metaflake insets on fenders. All else is exact same. Nice beefy cruiser.....
I began riding in Atlanta in 1990...my first ride was a Honda 650..gold and black..lol.
In 2005 I began to ride again with my wife (who is now an angel.....)
We started the local chapter of W.O.W. (Women On Wheels (r)) which is a motorcycle group for women. Our Chapter was B.R.A.T.S. (Babes Riding Around the South). I was Chapter Director for our chapter from onset to dissolution in 2011. We held monthly meetings and then rode to many great destinations. We had 24 members.
A debilitating accident May 2006 left me with permanent disability, and inability to ride any more. BUT I still drove my "cage" and attended all meetings and went on all rides....
We rode in our local parades, raised money for many local charities, and made huge donations to CAPA and Coda (shelters for women & kids).
Yes, I do miss it, and there is nothing like the freedom of riding with the wind blowing your hair, being free to enjoy open countryside.
I did attend and pass a local motorcycle course training. I am still with my Trike license, and I keep my motorcycle license current (renew every year)Thanks for the memories, Cheryl. Yours are incredible. Keep the rubber side down and the breeze between your knees, my friend!!!
