The Wing....

Gas prices, being outrageous, caused us to look...backwards. Back to when we first invested in a motorcycle, 1973, during the Arab Oil Boycott. We later got BMW's and an 1100 Gold Wing....but managed to sell them along the way, when gas got cheap, and when lost the opportunity to ride with friends, like Eddie and Pat Glass. We found a '93 Model Gold Wing, and bought it right, in cold weather...
















Of course, I had to drop the bike in front of my wife, at church...made it more attractive, too.












Couple of the guys at church and I rode to the Blueridge Parkway, to admire the scenery...felt like we were in an airplane. That is Anthony on the left, and Ronnie on the right....Greg, from Newnan, took the picture. Both Greg and Ronnie were on Wings, too. Anthony was on a Yamaha that looked like and sounded like a Harley.
This was our last ride...November 2...getting kind of nippy out on the Blueridge...Chris and Stephanie Shook were our chaperones...Chris was taking the picture...he owns the nice Harley in front.
Of course, this is not recommended for family and children. Nor for the unsaved...be ready to meet your Maker, and then have a great time.
