I spent part of Sunday afternoon at the annual International Motorcycle Show at the Cobb Galleria Centre. What a show it was! All the major manufacturers were there, with examples of their 2014 lines on display. "Motorcycle Heaven", if there ever was one.
I had not planned to go this year, as our eldest daughter Ansley was in town for the weekend. Yet several of my CMA (Christian Motorcyclist Assn.) friends had urged me to come join them, as CMA had a large booth set up. Lisa said they were going to do a little shopping, so I should go. I rode over, took in the show, and hung out with these guys while there. Glad I did.
I've actually been a CMA member since about 1998, but didn't ride with them much during the 2000's. As a pastor at Hebron, I rode with the church group, the Spirit Riders, a great bunch of folks. Now that I am gone from Hebron, I really don't ride with them much anymore. The members in two local CMA chapters, CrossTies (where my old membership was) and KneeBenders (a sport bike chapter) have reached out to me, welcomed me, and given me a new riding group home. I've fallen in with another great bunch of folks.
Doors close, but new ones open. I look forward to great riding years ahead, with my CMA brothers and sisters.
