I have always been cautious about motorcycles. \u00a0I know my friend Mark got tired of me telling him to be careful all the time. \u00a0I had been told that\u00a0there are two kinds of riders, \u201cthose that have been in an accident and those who will be\u201d. \u00a0So it was difficult to watch my Ru Doggins buy a new Versys. \u00a0It was a nice bike and he seemed to really love it. \u00a0\u201cThe closest to flying a jet and staying on the ground\u201d he says. \u00a0His eyes sparkle and his voice is excited every time he talks about it.<\/p>\n
So, of course I support anytthing that makes him happy. \u00a0We got ready and headed out on our three week tour. \u00a0It was going to be fun, a bit scary, and a GREAT adventure.<\/p>\n
What he doesn\u2019t tell you in his introduction, is that the RV I was driving was a 38\u2019 diesel with a car being towed behind it. \u00a0Big Big HUGE! \u00a0That being said, by the end of the trip, I had gotten pretty comfortable driving it. \u00a0 It did take a while to figure \u00a0out how to get in\/out of gas pumps and campgrounds though. \u00a0I was so good at driving it and setting it up, that I even ended up taking it on a trip by myself\u2026 but that is another story.<\/p>\n
He also drove through weather that I think was poor judgement. \u00a0\u201cSo I can sleep next to my lovely wife\u201d, he would tell me as an excuse. \u00a0Kind of hard to yell at him for that. \u00a0I did make sure his bed was warm and ready before he got there. \u00a0The only time it was tough was when I had a lot of rain and traffic and a migraine headache. \u00a0That one was tough.<\/p>\n
We found out how fun it could be to take our time, stop early, and enjoy the scenery and the people we met.<\/p>\n
Okay, now the strange part, I decided it looked like fun, and by the time we made it home, I decided to take a safety course and see if I even like riding\u2026. BIG MISTAKE – I LOVED IT!<\/p>\n
Ru dove in and helped me find the perfect bike. \u00a0I am vertically challenged and finding a bike that fits is difficult. \u00a0I wanted a \u201cHarley\u201d as I love the look. \u00a0After trying several bikes, we finally found my gorgeous blue \u201cjewelry”. \u00a0 I\u2019ll let Ru tell you about that find.<\/p>\n
