I think I’m in love!
With my motorcycle of course!) I rode 726 miles this past Friday and Saturday and had a great time. Friday I went back and forth to Memphis to see my sister and three nieces, the youngest, Elizabeth, turned four, and the middle one, Elaine, graduated from Kindergarten, both on Friday. We went to the graduation in the morning and had a birthday party at my sister’s in the evening. Saturday morning I rode down to Hohenwald, TN, and met up with an uncle and we rode with a group of about 18 bikes from there to the top of Monteagle mountain, where I jumped on the interstate and zipped on home. It was the first time I’ve ridden with a group of bikes and it was pretty fun. I can see the attraction, even though I had the only bike with no chrome. Oh, I figured up my gas mileage for the Memphis part of the trip (~90mph interstate) to be slightly above 40mpg, but during the group ride I was getting 54.2mpg!!! If that’s not efficient I don’t know what is. I was able to get back in time to go helmet shopping in the afternoon and find a semi-stylin’ helmet for a lady friend and just chill on Sat evening. If all weekends were like this one (three days long, sunny, lots of scenic riding) life would have nothing to aspire to!
