Gwen, that was sweeet.
As I was setting here reading this my wife asked me what I was reading. I told her it was your mag article about your ride, she's excited to read it too as I had been sharing with her about what you were doing, while you were riding.
Looking forward to seeing you again in May. _________________ Ride safe.

Is that a stock seat on your RS?
If it is, why haven't you replaced it with something more comfortable, like a ball park bleacher? Or maybe a concrete block?
Way to go.
What an accomplishment! |

Thank you.
I sent my parents a copy of the magazine.
They said they were proud of me. _________________ 1993 K1100RS aka The Shop Whore
