Beautiful day for a bike ride. Me and my dad rode to the top of Mt. Nebo, we're at Sunset Point here. It was a fun ride up, all the switchbacks! Awesome. And yes, I ride with a helmet, it's in my right hand, and I love my boots! They make me feel awesome! :)
For any that wonder, the bike is a 1995 Yamaha Virago 1100. My dad got it last summer for himself, it only had 7000 miles on it. After 'passengerizing' with him on Patriot Guard missions, I got to wondering what it'd be like to ride one myself. My dad thought it a GREAT idea, he was secretly getting tired of toting my ass around (don't blame him at all) and it gave him an excuse to buy himself a freaking 2006 Yamaha 1100 VStar.
I started riding around in the pasture, that was a hell of a site. Then following my dad on back roads. Took my written test for my motorcycle endorsement two days after surgery then went back for the road test after medical clearance. Passed first time, thank God! And the rest is history as they say.
Now I know why dogs hang their heads out of the car window!!! LOL.
