I was on vacation last week during Spring Break, and had a unique opportunity to do something I never have before in my life- I went motorcycle riding with my dad. We have never owned bikes at the same time over the years, and now we do. So, we made family history! We rode around Lake Oconee across 2 days, and my mom even hopped on and rode some as well. For me, it was an amazing time- out on the open country roads, in beautiful weather, riding with my old biker dad. He first began riding in 1957, on a chopped/bobbed '54 Triumph. He's owned various Triumphs over the years, but has been off bikes for about 15 years. Rebuilding and riding that little Yamaha, and getting out on the road with me, was a memorable time. We had a great couple of days, and my mom took tons of pictures while riding on the back of my bike. You can see them at www.spiritriders.net on the "Photo Gallery" page.
What I came away with? Savor every moment with those you love, and even make memories with them when you can- you'll carry those memories the rest of your life, long after the events and people are gone.
