Ah, but you still have the exciting memories! Motor-bike riding was a fond dream for me which I never fulfilled, and it's far too late now. About twice in my whole life I experienced being on the back of one: small tastes of heaven! (My first husband rode a motor-scooter, and I was on the back of that a lot – not at all the same thing.) Do you wonder that I loved the film 'Easy Rider'?

I too liked "Easy Rider" and liked the actors and their families .

I have had one motorcycle ride in my life ~ on the back of a cycle my oldest son had at that time. From Roswell Georgia to Ball Ground Georgia. Lots of miles. I felt like Motorcycle Mama. Good to read your poetry, always.

Nice same with my husband He gave up his bike for his young family but a few years ago he bought one back and now goes riding with a same aged group every week

Marja, I'd love to do that but my senior age says "no, no." My son is single at 65 and he bought himself a new BMW motorcycle.

"No chances taken" A very wise man! The only motorcycles I've ridden were my older brother's. And he liked to scare me. Same with his speed boat. He as well into adulthood then too.
