He's getting a major life change (a baby), and I changed jobs. Gah. Have fun Princess.

A non-biker friend of mine once asked me why I did long-distance riding; how do you respond to such a question? It's like asking an athlete why he trains to run a marathon, or why climb a mountain... It's there, and it sure beats staying at home and just thinking about it!<br /><br />Some people dream their life, while others live their dreams. I'd rather be part of the latter group.<br /><br />My favourite latin saying? Memento Vivere - Remember to live.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />LuckyLuckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07858400386113262050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20511073.post-27050158553795316772006-09-05T15:57:00.000-06:002006-09-05T15:57:00.000-06:00Christine--if the name "Wonder Woman" wasn't alrea...Christine--if the name "Wonder Woman" wasn't already taken, well....you'd have it. Hope you had/having a safe and memorable ride! Looking forward to hearing about it, since lately my rides aren't that enterprising I am living through everyone else's at this point.Kathleen Jennettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527996189920596997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20511073.post-87798624151967644622006-09-05T11:27:00.000-06:002006-09-05T11:27:00.000-06:00don't back out christine! me and the wife recentl...don't back out christine! me and the wife recently got back from a 3400km (2112 mile) round trip to niagara falls, ontario.<br /><br />when it got down to the last week before we would leave, i was actually thiking about backing out of it and just doing something simple. i pushed through though and we left early one morning on a stock Honda Shadow Sabre.<br /><br />we had our encounters with pain, weather and a nice nail in our rear tire, but we endured and we don't regret a single minute of it.<br /><br />go for it christine. you can do it.Giesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00870886260984784389noreply@blogger.com
