The last couple of weeks I’ve been recounting what I deemed as my first big girl ride. With little experience riding I rode the infamous Tail of the Dragon, a road with 318 curves in 11 short miles. It scared me to death, so much so that we decided to take a different route home, […]

Tail of the Dragon-My first “big girl” ride
Before I go into the journal part of my trip, I’m going to share a little background. I got my motorcycle license at the end of the riding season in 2003. I took my 1998 Superglide, which I had bought from McGyver (it was the bike we fell in love on) out for my first […]
Motorcycle Monday: Anniversary Run
McGyver and I have been traveling from Washington State to Shiloh, Illinois. McGyver has finally returned from Germany, after a year’s separation from me. He purchased a brand new 2003 Road King while in Germany and had it shipped to Seattle. His dad kept it for him (and did the break in miles, plus some) […]

I’m continuing my revisit through my motorcycle journal, it started with our Honeymoon where we traveled for 10 days on McGyver’s 1998 Harley Davidson Super Glide. Fast forward a year and my journal takes us on our Anniversary Run.
Motorcycle Monday: Jailbird and My Second Giveaway
I’m one of those people who are super lucky to have great in-laws. My father-in-law happens to be one of the coolest people I know. He’s always full of entertaining stories, I never get tired of hearing them. My in-laws occasionally send us newspaper clippings from the local area or some stuff that they’ve dug […]
Motorcycle Monday-European H.O.G. Rally in Italy
I had originally planned on posting about our Anniversary Run as a nice follow-up to our honeymoon. However, I was going through photos and I ran across some photos from our first big motorcycle rally that we went to. I’m changing gears a bit and going back to May 2002, it’s about 9 months after […]
Motorcycle Monday
Because I’m a poor time manager. Because I didn’t look for my photos to go with my next series of posts. Because I am addicted to Cinnamon Vanilla Creamer and had to buy some before having my coffee. Because my dog had a Vet appointment this morning. Because I wanted to go to Staples and […]
Motorcycle Monday-A Hack Job
It’s been building up for awhile, my dry little cough. Now it’s to the point that I am hacking my lungs out. Oh yes, I’ve been a sick one. I’m pretty sure I know how COPD-ers feel, or perhaps someone who is asthmatic. The gasping for air and the lungs not cooperating. The sleepless nights […]
