Okay, so, despite my declaration that spring is coming, mother nature sent another 8″ of snow our way last weekend. Given the sloppy condition of the roads, and the occasional flurry that I see outside my office windows, I do not think that it was strange for me to think “Wow, there’s a guy who is really looking forward to riding season” when I saw a guy in a well worn black leather motorcycle jacket and blue jeans at lunch.
Really, is it that strange? Its below freezing. The roads are icy. I passed at least five cars in the ditch during my commute yesterday morning.
I apologize for my indescretion right now in assuming that someone wandering around in the middle of an Alaskan winter in their biker gear, was not, in fact, riding a motorcycle. I so wish that I had my camera out, but by the time I saw him cruise by on his trike, it was too late.
I am not shamed by the fact that I am a summer bound, weekend warrior. However, while Elwood and Munch might think I have “grit”, I ain’t got nothin’ on this guy.
Humbled,
Owlie
