Motorcycle Monday: Waiting to ride

There she is, my old girl (she’s 12 this year), with her nose pointed to the garage door, just waiting to be ridden.  She knows Spring is coming and soon the snow and ice will melt and she’ll feel the black top beneath her rubber.  She waits impatiently. The saddlebags are ready to be packed, […]
