The Escape

Image Source: Luciano Meirelle

Gene eased the Harley out of the garage and walked it quietly down the street.  So intent was he on getting away unheard, he would not start it for three blocks.  Safely away, he fired up the big bike.  He loved these early morning rides along the coast.  A great escape from the "honey-do" list.

  2. Sigh! I totally get where Gene is coming from! I don't ride a Harley, but nothing beats an early morning drive...nobody on the road, windows down, music playing. Love this!
