First year of riding
In May last year I got my license. My gf was already riding for a year and she got me excited to also go get my license. Due to Corona unfortunately it took a bit longer to achieve it.
In the mean time my dad, who also had a license, wanted to go ride again and bought a nice bike. Unfortunately cancer struck weeks after and he could not ride anymore. So he told me. "Son, when you get your license, you can ride this bike." when I passed the test he was so proud. He even came looking every day when I picked up the bike to go for a ride and when I came back he was the one opening the garage door.
My dad unfortunately passed a way a couple of months later. I still think of him when I ride.
This year wasn't only tears and sadness tho. I had a blast riding with my girlfriend and our funny helmet covers. We made a lot of people laugh and take pictures. Went to car meets and went on a 2 hour drive to an hotel wearing the covers. Just a bit of fun in the year full of downs. What can I say. I enjoyed it a lot.
I can't wait for the weather to get better and go riding again this year.
Cheers people.
Ride hard, stay safe out there and I'll see you on the road.
