Going for a long ride- On Thanksgiving – "Well, the turkey's in the oven, and the family members won't be here for several hours, and there will be so many of them, standing around on the carpet, that they won't notice I didn't vacuum or dust, because I'm out riding on this glorious fall day!"It's Saturday It's Sunday I have Monday off! It might rain later so I'd better go now It's raining and my bike is really dirty, it might be cleaner when I come back if I go for a ride now It might be sunnier somewhere else I need some gas in the tank, and while I'm here, I'll just... hey, there's Gravenhurst! I have to hit 100K on my odometer this summer To buy apples from an orchard 240 kilometers away My better half says riding helps her aching back To visit friends in other towns To explore old mountain ghost towns Go to the motorcycle shop in case they got a sale on something Go to the camping store to see if they got a sale on something To get away from our snooty neighbors To charge the motorcycle battery To scuff in new tires The further away ice-cream is, the better it tastes when you get there and eat it Going for a Motorcycle Tour"I haven't seen my friend in Nova Scotia for 20 years.""I've wanted to see Perce rock since I read about it in a Grade 3 reader." A friend says, "Come visit me," so you go to the Finger Lakes region in New York. To see towns with strange names Ghost Tour - make a list of famous haunted houses, bridges, and other architechtural hauntings and select a touring route to connect them! Going for a Weekend RideBecause all the other VFR riders will be thereHey, it's the Parry Sound Sports Bike Rally I have to try out my new leather jacket I have to try out my new Givis I want to make sure my new helmet really fits properly before the long tour Buying a new bike excusesIt's much prettier than my old bikeIt's January, and I'm in a bike shop.
