Most every Thursday night during the summer and fall, a group of folks in the neighborhood gather at a local gas station on their motorcycles and take a ride somewhere. Last night I was actually able to join the group. I had the only Kawasaki motorcycle in the group and was one of two touring bikes. All the other bikes were, well, loud. Not all were Harleys, but all had that big, loud motorcycle sound. No matter, I had a great ride and will do it again on Thursday nights as often as life events will allow. We left Pocatello on the back roads and rode over to Lava Hot Springs and then on the old highway up to Chesterfield, back to Bancroft, and over Fish Creek back to Pocatello. The whole ride took about three hours. The weather was just beautiful, the air smelled fresh, and I had a great time. In the picture I was attempting to get my bike, the lead rider ahead of me, and the rest of the gang in the rear view mirror. If I had put my elbow down, I would have had more success with the rear view mirror, but this will definitely have to suffice. Life is good!
