MY DAYS IN THE "WILD"

     MY DAYS IN THE "WILD."

     Get your motor running,  Head out

 on the highway!

     It's June 17th. This is "Ride To

Work Day!" And the ride of choice
is a Motorcycle or Motor Scooter!

     A fellow named Andy Goldfine

began pushing the day 27 years ago

to encourage people to ride their

cycles to work as a way to  reduce

carbon emissions and traffic congestion,

and make it easier for everyone – even car

drivers – to find parking spaces in crowded

cities.

    Of course we probably should note that

Goldfine is also the guy responsible for the

Aerostitch Roadcrafter riding suits that

many motorcycle drivers wear when they're

on the road! Maybe that's just coincidence? 

     I will not be participating in today's

observance....for several reasons.

     First, I don't work anymore. At least

not technically. I sill do a couple "jobs."

But nobody pays me for them anymore.

     Secondly, I did take my cycle to work

on a couple occasions a few years back.
It was my way of being born to be wild!

      It's 90cc engine coupled with my weigh

did not work out well when attempting to

climb the hills along my route.

      I didn't mind joggers that happen to pass

me by. But the sound of an approaching truck

often made me wish I was riding something

with a Harley rather than a Honda Street/Trail

Logo on its side!

      Of course downhill was a lot better, as

long as the other drivers realized I was not

just an illusion trying to share the road!

       Still, as Mr. Goldfield suggested, I did

little to pollute the air, only had to fill my

gas tank about every 4th trip, and never, ever,

had a problem finding a place to park!
       Mine has basically been sitting for a
couple years now but if you've got a motorcycle,
motor scooter, or even a good bicycle, saddle
up and ride to work today and join in the celebration.

       "Like a true nature's child, we were born

to be wild."

        Hope  you find some adventure "in whatever

comes your way," and that all your NEWS is good!
