Happy Happy. I found this today it reminded me of you.
Mild exuberance exerts itself across my face, the sun dashes the clouds apart and sunlight rains down on the sparkling mud piles. A dirty day for riding THE BEST KIND OF DAY.
Like a skier faced with a pure white slope, I hit the course assertively gunning massive mud clods up into the Arizona air. They decorate the ground in new configurations. Love you and Miss you. Mom

I was thinking of you and I found these.

I am the wind, I am finally set free, from what bothers me.

It's about riding, and freedom and free feeling, It's not about fear.

Two wheels forever, on my steel horse I shall ride, Pray God has parking.

A twist of the wrist, All my troubles fall behind, Burried in the wind.

Happy Birthday Ken. Have a good ride, Love ya, miss ya....Mom

Ken, I found this poem today and of course I thought of you.

Riding a dirt bike is like nothing else;
It's fun even by yourself.
The thrill of it all
The stillness of it all
The joy of flying through the air
The feeling of the wind in your hair.
It's fun being way up high:
It's like you could reach the sky.
The fun of riding with your friends...
It's like nothing you could comprehend.
Riding for me is just a dream
So it seems
But when I wake up I see
That it is more than what even I could see.

Happy Birthday.......Mom

For months I have been searching for something that was Ken. I found some motorcycle Haiku poems, just in time for today, they are Ken.

1. BETWEEN SKY AND EARTH
CARVING THROUGH THE UNIVERSE
RIDING WILD AND FREE

2. ITS ABOUT RIDING AND
FREEDOM AND FREE FEELING
IT'S NOT ABOUT FEAR

3. FRESH WIND IN MY FACE
ON AN EARLY MORNING RIDE
BIKING THERAPY

4. RIDING HIGH ON LIFE
MOTORCYCLING SOOTHES THE SOLE
INTER PEACE IS CHIEF

We Love Ya, Miss Ya, and think of you all the time.

Dad & Mom

In our hearts we thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday and the days before that too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name. Now all we have is memories, and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake with which we'll never part. God has you in his keeping and we have you in our hearts. love ya...miss ya...wish you were here.
