I have belonged to WITW since 1994. I be= gan riding in 1990, and my first bike, a 1988 Honda Shadow vlx600, gave me = a lot of pleasure, although it took me 10 years to log 25,000 km. Raising 3= children and a husband and working part time left little time for riding. = During those early years, belonging to WITW gave me the opportunity to ride= with wonderful friends who have encouraged and helped me to be a better ri= der through the many years of patience and understanding, and just being th= ere for each other.
In 2000, a new road machine replaced the= Honda. Venus, as I call her, is a 1998 Royal Star, Tour Deluxe, 1300cc. I = have more time to ride now, and have 17,000 km so far. I have discovered in= myself some things that I didn’t know before riding, and am loving t= he experience of being able to do something that many people still think wo= men cannot do or just don’t do. I love to ride with my husband,= and with friends, and even alone sometimes. Now that I’ve attended a= few Summer Nationals with WITW, I really look forward to seeing these new = friends and having a great ride to a new destination each summer. What a gr= eat excuse to ride to California, Colorado, Southern Oregon, and who knows = where else next time. The housework and other chores will always be there, = but if today is riding weather and we can spend time together on the road, = than let’s ride!!
