This is my 1982 Cb750. I bought this bike last year and I have already made so many memories on this motorcycle. When I first got this bike my girlfriend's brother and I started riding together. We started a little group and we rode together almost every day. We decided to sign up and do the Rhino Ride to the wilds as a group. The morning of the ride we all met at my girlfriend's brother's house. We rode an iron pony and met up with everyone who was doing the big ride. There had to have been over 2000 bikes there. We rode in a big group all the way to the wilds. Our group was so big that people were blocking traffic at red lights so we could all get though. It was so much fun to ride in a big group like that. When we got to the wilds we rode the bus around. It was a long bus ride. It was like 100 degrees and we had just done over 100 miles on motorcycles to make it even worse we didn’t even get to see any animals. So after the bus ride we got right back on the bikes and rode home we stopped to get ice cream in Sunbury. When we got off the bike my girlfriend's legs were swollen from being on the bike for so long. I felt really bad that I had asked her to come with us when she had just gotten home from basic training with stress fractures. But she was a trooper and she made it all the way home. That was my first big trip on motorcycles and I can't wait to go on more this summer.
Ian, it's wonderful to see you are alive and writing! Please join our Zoom class today at 1:30 as we will begin the Presentation projects and we will learn about Walt Whitman and H.D. Thoreau!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is such a cool and unique story! My only suggestion would be to dive more into what it was like simply just on the ride to the wilds to add some more descriptive imagery to the story. But the story as a whole is so neat!
ReplyDeleteIan, I think is is cool that you wrote about a topic that not only mattered to you but also helped you to build personal connections with others. I would have actually liked to have read more details about this big ride that you did.
