I enjoy doing many different things in addition to my papercrafting. I love to read, photography has been a passion since college, traveling in our rv is something my husband and I just don't do enough, and motorcycle riding, to this point a solitary activity, has been one of the most enjoyable and relaxing outdoor activities I've ever done.
Due to health issues, I haven't ridden since 2006, but with recent improvements in my health and continued weight loss (an ongoing process), I am finally feeling as if I can get back on the road again. My husband, who road with me once and said never again, has agreed to riding back roads and our favorites like Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Age supposedly brings wisdom, but it also brings loss of stability and other fine motor skills. For safety's sake, we will ride an automatic transmission "super scooter" with a trike kit installed. Specifically, we will ride a Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive with ABS breaks with the Trinity Trike kit installed. The trike kit is being milled from raw aluminum as I type this, and I hope to have it delivered by the end of September for installation. Here is a photo of someone else's ride. Mine may be a different color, not sure yet as I haven't bought the bike.
I hope that John and I will get a couple of rides in this fall before it turns too cool. It should be a hoot to ride! Any other crafters out there ride on two or three wheels? Give me a shout!
