Wow, I just came back from a friend’s house and tried something new and really exciting – I learned how to ride a motorcycle! Jon’s got two bikes, and being as its gorgeous out today, we took them out. True, this bike was no Harley, but it was fast and I got the hang of it quickly. Just a little trouble getting it the bike started, but I only stalled out once, then figured out how the clutch works in like a minute. Can’t beleive I’ve lived 25 years without this - guess your parents don’t teach you everything after all…ha. But seriously, it was so much fun and really exhilerating knowing that a tap of the button zaps you to like 60mph in seconds. Ok, I didn’t go that fast on my first try, but I got into second gear and made some nice turns. Ahh, spring is here…
