spear Posted March 16, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 16, 2008 I want to share a couple of good things from today. Just back home after an 822kms (500+miles) ride today out of a 2,000kms (1250 miles) 4 days away with my 4 brothers on bikes. Beautiful weather and a numb bum. That's the first highlight. The second highlight - my (only) daughter's boyfriend of 9 years rang me and asked for her hand in marriage. Couldn't say no, but I did thank him for asking. Ain't that sweet?

How did the new shock work out? Welcome back, Dan Gee Dan. I nearly forgot about the shock. Like riding on a cloud. Nice not bottoming out in the causeways and floodways. Mind you with the weight of the bike, me and my gear we made up nearly half a ton. Something must be working right. Cheers mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spear Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share #12 Posted March 20, 2008 Three weeks ago my pillion and I attended our younger son's wedding - about 4 hours away. He and his new bride are visiting us for Easter, and they just announced that we're gonna be grandparents - for the first time. Whew. I'm all of 56 and never thought I'd make it. How's that for great news?:cool10: P.S. - Don't let on to anyone else, as they are still to let my other son and my daughter know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
