    Todays ride ........... excitment / add your own story

    My 16 year old daughter says, "Im bored lets go ride" . Yehaa lets go bye bye

    Hit a couple stores getting some things we both wanted $$$ eewwww . When in the parking lot of a Harbor Freight store a few were gathered around the F6B going One man and his wife [looked very successful $ ] says "what is that, his pretty wife points at the emblem and says its a Honda" ! Walking toward them I said its actually a Goldwing, the guys jaw hit the deck , I says yes its Hondas new and improved suburban type Wing . This fellow told me how many times he crossed country on Wings and he really loves this new Wing F6B. I think he wanted mine, he said "how much"? I said get your own theyre right around 20k . Took me 40 years of dreaming of the perfect bike to finally get this machine, now it was finally made just for me.

    Well, he sat on it, his wife sat on it, they said where is the Honda shop my friend , we are headed there. I says congrats brother ride safe. Then another mature lady, maybe 65 years oldish walks up and says "oh the new F6B NICE and I have the exact same color. Those people all start talking about how the bike is really nice without the trunk and extras and looks sleek. The elder lady says AND I just ordered the brand new Valkyrie too for my husband. Ordered it in red/black. I says, dang do you need a new boyfriend . Then we all talked another 20 minutes about the new Valk. My daughter takes her helmet back off and makes a wimper, so all the people says, "let the man go on his way" . These people were the nicest most pleasant people I have met biking.

    So on to the turtles. With the weather warming up I have crossed and rescued two turtles in two days. Yesterday it was Yellow Eared pond turtle, the most perfect one I ever seen, flawless beautiful turtle. I took her home and put her in my Koi pond to hang out. She was gone today probably off to the creek nearby. Then today on the way home we cross this Soft Shell Monster turtle just sitting in the middle of the road sunning [country roads backwoods]. I told my daughter to snap a pic. Its so fun just cruising back roads on this bike, so quiet so maneuverable and so powerful when needed.

    I sure hope Honda has a LOT of deliveries to Florida. Looks like there will be a bunch of new owners out that-a-way!

    I'm out riding today with a few friends. Hanging out at the American Legion in Fountain Hills at a car/bike show. Probably take the long way home. Alone. Oh well, I'm riding.
