Biker Chick At (almost) 60

Since favorite sister doesn't have a blog, I decided to tell a story on her for a change.

I got an e-mail from her last week telling me about she and Wil happening upon a scooter shop in Kewaskum after a trip to Campbellsport. They started looking at scooters and small motorcycles and found something they liked. In fact, as she put it, "We liked it way too much, and bought it."

My sister has a HOG! Eeehaaa!!! Actually, I don't know that much about cc's and stuff like that, but I get the impression that it's not really a "Hog" but more like a "Piggy", but apparently is big enough that she and Wil can tool along together. They've got helmets, etc. so are really "ready to ride".

When Bill read about that, he said, "They'll have to join the CMA, (Christian Motorcycle Association), then they could ride down here for the spring get together and the fall "Changing of the Colors" get together. I doubt SERIOUSLY they'll be motoring to Hatfield, Arkansas any time soon, but I'm sure they are going to enjoy their new mode of transportation.

Favorite sister said she can take it to Bible School and when she wants to zip over and visit with some friends. Sure wish she could zip down and visit with her sister like that, but don't think that's really feasible in an afternoon. Maybe a "Jet Ski" is what's in the future!!!

Anyway, with gas prices the way they are, I'm sure that 70 miles to the gallon really sounds good about now. I envy them. If it hadn't been that Bill's older brother broke his neck in a motorcycle accident in 1969, we maybe would consider one as well. But after that happened, he was totally turned off to even the idea of having a motorcycle.

No, we ride 1200 lb. horses that can stomp you, throw you off, bite you, and eat you out of house and home. Just kidding!!!! Ours, of course, don't do that. They are very well behaved, and really are a joy to have. If they weren't, they'd be "outa here!"



Actually, we did buy us an electric golf cart last fall to run around the place with. We take it to church, Wednesday night Bible Study, down the feed the horses, and anyplace else within a mile or two. I've taken it down to the local quick stop, but don't like to be on the highway with it, so the back road is a fairly long trip.

Will tell you our yesterday's riding story in another blog.


Take care,
JB
