Took the C50 out again for my longest ride yet up into the mountains near me..some 500kms.Lots of twisties,turns and long sweeping broad roads. No traffic and a sunny day(first time all week). Funny thing, I have done the same trip by car a couple of times and on the bike it seemed so different that I thought I must have made a wrong turn! Beats the hell out of watching it through a windscreen. While stopped for a break I met an American from Ohio who has been here for 20 years and been riding twice as long. He loved the C50 (was on a 1150), we traded stories and invited me to hook up for a ride. Why did I stop riding 6 years ago? haven't stopped smiling since I picked my new bike up from the dealers a week ago. Ride on

Riding is a great therapy, When I got off work I would jump in truck and drive home. All I would think about was work, What did i forget to do, who did i forget to tell this that or the other, Etc. I would get calls on the cell phone or would call back to work, etc. Now when I get on my bike and drive away from the office, I dont give it a second thought. I can not here the cell ring and i damn sure can not call anybody.

Life is much better. makes me wonder why i gave up riding 20 years ago, OH yea, KIDS and No Money
