Shmidgens & Happy Holidays!

With the year coming to an end and not too many writings from me for a couple months, I wanted to get back in here and close off this year with everyone.

Its been quite an adventurous one for me.  I went to Yosemite twice, Arizona a couple of times, Laughlin, Northern California several times, sold a couple of bikes, bought a bike, cut some peeps out of my life completely, put some back in, Flat Wooley came out for a visit, got to meet the Dave Gang up north, and got to meet the Caveman Tribe in the desert, and am still here on this planet to enjoy what I have.  Even the bad stuff was good, because I got to grow from it.  Trippy, but it works for me.

I suppose the best is always right in front of my face at that moment and at that time.  Getting older sorta puts that into perspective, but also having friends who are struggling with their illnesses gives me a good push into the reality of living life fully while I can.  If anybody has taught me anything this year it is them.  They are endless in the pursuit of living their lives and when they feel well enough, they ride.  They are truly inspiring women.  They take each day and suck it up.  I love them dearly for giving me insight while they are suffering. 

This year has also given me some great times with new peeps.  Tina and I went on a 6 day ride up through Northern California.  My favorite day riding was when we were in Yosemite in the morning and then Morro Bay on the Coast in the evening.  We had to change our plans a couple of times because of weather, and each time we did, we loved it.  Including the time she got stuck in the kiddy swing after having a couple of blue colored martinis.  It was a good laugh after a long day's ride and one definitely for the memory books. 

The Nightster has given me my goal for next year already and that is to have fun bobbing it out.  One piece at a time.  It doesn't ride like my other Sportys.  Doesn't have that jackhammer feel.  Pretty smooth surprisingly. So this will be a fun learning experience on how to do the this and that's.  Wootz!

Soooo..... the holidays are upon us, and I wish you all great adventures for the remainder of this year.  We have a couple of weeks left before we call it 2012, and for those that have already winterized their bikes, Spring will surely come soon enough.  Time flies doesn't it?! Who would an thunkededed 2012 is here already!!

Happy Trailing Holidayzzz To All With Much Happiness!
