As much as it seems like this was part of our destiny, mom, still single at the time, went through weeks of turmoil, sitting bedside waiting for her then-still-beau to heal. I can only imagine the thoughts that must have run through her head when her little boys discovered that little yellow Honda and were so excited that they couldn't see straight.<br /><br />I wish your granddaughters many thousands of safe miles! I wouldn't worry about the Double....we surround ourselves with them.Coop a.k.a.

Early summer I started thinking about doing something like this and last weekend everything gelled. The stop to see Kevin was a happy coincidence; he and I had spoken at the Wisconsin Guzzi Rally so he'd been warned that I'd show up. :)Coop a.k.a.

I honestly don't remember any of these being taken but expected there would be photographic evidence. Gramp's old Agfachrome slides are in very nice shape.Coop a.k.a.

My moto history begins with me (my mother being hysterical when I began and my father saying 'be quiet, let her do what she wants to do!.') Perhaps my granddaughters will one day decide to ride as well; okay with me as long as they are responsible and do it safely!!!! (I have a whole double standard going on here.)VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972915028116604677.post-27404229410835925302015-08-15T11:18:52.008-05:002015-08-15T11:18:52.008-05:00I loved this post (well except for your dad being ...I loved this post (well except for your dad being hit by a milk truck) but all the old photos.
