On the road again

My husband is an avid motorcyclist and this blog came about because together we own a motorcycle tour company on the Big Island of Hawaii. We want our customers to be able to get to get to know us and give us feedback on what they want in a tour. And as always we are more than willing to share vacation tips and advice.

Like I said my husband is an avid motorcyclist. The truth is it had been nearly four years since my last ride on a motorcycle when I went for a spin on the Yamaha he recently got for me. "You need to get back on the road," he said. And he was right in so many ways. Heart pounding and knees shaking I climbed on for that first ride. Even though it was only around the block I was reminded that there is nothing else in the world like motorcycling. The rush, the confidence, the speed, the joy. Boy had I been missing out.

So I was a little rusty, and I got chased by a killer dog, and I killed the engine a few times. It's ok because I know that with a few more days of practice I'll be out on the open road and loving it.
