Today was a good day
« on: August 03, 2008, 08:03:49 PM »
I went for a long ride today, found a bike to buy and work on, seen an old friend and met his 2 year old son for the first time, and finally put my CB750 engine back in the frame.
Today put things in perspective for me again. I get caught up in the day to day grind and I forget what makes me happy. Riding, workong on bikes, good old friends and getting married to the woman I love.
It seems that only when unfortunate circumstances arise do we realize what is important. By then, sometimes, it is to late.
