- It’s What We Do
My bike has been out of action since my inaugural solo ride last issue, and the upside of that was I got to borrow and ride a couple of different bikes.
Now, I’m the first to say I have little or no idea about the technical side of motorcycles. Things like suspension, response and brakes. Perhaps it’s just me, or maybe it’s very common among women in general, but I seem to be missing the gene that allows for discerning those important things.

With an extended long-weekend ride planned, the first borrowed bike was our son’s 1993 Honda Dominator.
