Life is short: RIDE!<\/p>\nPosted: 6:00pm Sunday, September 15, 2013.<\/p>\n
All week, I worked to clear my Sunday to be totally free of chores and other things I do to look after my senior pals. I did my visits, trips to the grocery stores, and worked on home maintenance all week, including all day yesterday. <\/p>\n
Today (Sunday) I pulled on my biker leathers, tall boots, and gave myself a treat —

\nI went on the longest motorcycle ride of the season (for me) with a group of safe and sober riding friends. 184 miles of smiles on a stunningly gorgeous day through back roads and byways of Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia. We had a great time!<\/p>\n
The day began quite chilly, so my full leather biker breeches and Langlitz Columbia jacket kept me warm. As the day progressed, I shed the warm jacket for my perforated leather shirt, then just a vest. <\/p>\n
Funny, one of my biker buds looked at me up and down, from my leathers to my lug-soled Chippewa boots, then said, “what are you trying to do — be a fashion statement?”<\/p>\n
My reply, “I’m very comfortable.” That’s all I said. His reply, “oh, okay.” Glad it ended that way.
\nLife is short: RIDE!<\/p>\n
PS: yes, faces of my friends are blurred on purpose. They may not want to be identifiable on a gay guy’s blog, even one as g-rated as this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
