Things I Learned
1. It does absolutely no good to decide 10 minutes into the trip that you cannot and will not ride a motorcycle. No good at 3 minutes down the road. Or once your toosh is on the bike.
2. Crying does no good either.
3. Enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. If you see road kill ahead, just hold your breath for about 5 seconds and it will be gone due to the wind blowing in your face.
4. No matter how bad the wind blows, take comfort that your husband is wise enough to pull off the road and take an alternative route. One that takes much, much, much longer but is much, much, much safer. Exhaustion usually occurs after your hands have been clinched for hours, you haven't breathed in hours and you don't know if you will ever again have a normal heartbeat.
5. The end of a journey is much better if there is a glass of wine.
6. Be prepared to go on another journey. If you do it once, they know you are quite capable of doing it again. (Make sure that riding to Florida on a motorcycle is out of the question. Period.)

wow! I am amazed you got that into the bag. You are a master of packing
ReplyDeleteWOW! Way to go. Not only on the packing but also travelling so far on the bike. My hubby is a rider and has begged me for years to ride with him. I finally tried it last year, after he bought me a pink helmet, and I was scared the entire time and I only went 10 miles. You are so brave!!
