We’ve been blessed by the arrival of a new family member–a beautiful 2010 Honda Goldwing:
The red bike in the background is my Yamaha Majesty. For the past couple of years it has led a sad life, sitting for months on end without any meaningful trips outside of our garage. Oh, Studly starts it up periodically and takes it for spins around the neighborhood, but the poor dear was languishing for lack of attention.
It’s not that I don’t still adore the bike. She’s taken me on some epic journeys, including a solo trip from Illinois to Texas and back the year I turned 50. But ten years later I’ve noticed that my reflexes aren’t as sharp as they once were, and while I’ve never been a fearless rider, I now find myself a jumpy one. That’s not a good characteristic for a motorcyclist to have.
It seems we’ve come full circle, having had a Goldwing many years ago and selling it when I declared I wanted to be in the driver’s seat on my own ride. It really is all about me.
Studly is going to sell one of his bikes, and I’m going to sell my Majesty. We’ll still have a small stable of dirt bikes and his beloved Ole ’93.
I’m typing this while drinking a beer and watching Studly check over and polish the Goldwing.
I can hardly wait for our first adventure.
Peace, people.
Praying for Eyebrowz 
Bless you my friend. I know how much you love your riding! I enjoy being a passenger a lot because I can enjoy scenery while out in the open😊. You’ll hopefully get some good riding with your David, on the new bike, together.
Sure miss you. Xoxo

We rode it to dinner last night. I have to say getting on and off the back is much trickier than just throwing my leg over my own bike! I was much younger the last time I performed that move.

Oh how pretty! Are you going to get a trailer to pull behind it at? You know for those long trips…

That will be up to Studly! I realized as we rode last night just how much carrying capacity I’d be giving up by selling my bike. It carried a week’s worth of clothing and toiletries with room to spare. Now I’m going to have to share. 😢
