Hello All,
First off, thanks for the overwhelming response to this little story. It was a lot of fun, and at the end of the day, fun is the point of these little rides.
I'm hoping to squeeze one more short ride in this summer, possibly to Houston to pay homage to my hero, the Ghost Rider when Rush plays the Woods Pavilion. I am seriously considering taking my new friend up on the Africa ride as well, just started looking into the staggering logistics of pulling something like that off. I also have an itch in the Map-kin lobe of my tiny brain to head far south to the mysterious lands that have been called North America's pants. And of course, Dark Meat Snack's wife (still strange to say that, going to take some getting used to) needs a nickname and needs to be properly introduced to the joys of whisky in plastic cups, helmet hair and ultra low cost hotels.
Time will tell.
Whether Sleeping Beauty and I head to the Dark Continent or not, or learn a little Spanish and venture to South America, as long as I have enough strength to pick up a motorcycle, I will be riding somewhere. I have to, it's what makes the doing rest of everything worthwhile.
And, of course, as long as I am riding, I will be writing about it.
