I found this picture of my mother and father. It was taken in 1994 by my wife (we were still dating at the time) from the back of my motorcycle. We were out for a Sunday ride headed down NY route 20 in the fall. I remember it like it was yesterday.

It was a little brisk out, but not too bad. Fall is a wonderful time to ride due to the amazing cloors changing on the trees.

Route 20 is one of my favorite roads to ride. It's very windy, has minimal stoplights, is very smooth, very fast

and in some points takes you thru some very nice, small towns. I've ridden it as far east as Albany, and as far west as Buffalo.

Anyway, I thought I'd share a scan with you all. Anyone who's ridden shotgun knows how hard it is to get a good pic of the person next to you riding.

Hope you enjoy.

My father's ride at the time, a 1993 HD FLSTN Heritage Softail Nostalgia. Otherwise known as a Cow Glide.

While we're waltzing down memory lane, don't forget this one of you, taken when you were a lot younger.

You're right, we do a lot of riding together and it's a blast.

You should've seen the cop's face two seconds after that pic was taken. That's when I kicked him in the nuts for giving me that ticket

Cool shot, Paulie! Guess that apple didn't fall too far from the tree, huh?

You know the saying; "You plant potatoes, you get potatoes. You don't get broccoli."

Gedanken · 30 January 2008, 12:31 AM

Dunno about that, Paulie - with my talent with plants, I plant potatoes and get bupkus.
