There is nothing sweeter than the sounds of a group of Parallel Twins rumbling down the road. Add the beauty of the surrounding mountains near Sedona, Arizona as some 15 plus bikes rumble through the twisties of the mountain passes, up and down, back and forth on the winding hairpin laden mountain roads. The spectacular view and bone chilling embankments that seem to drop off with no end to be seen. Yes, nothing is better than viewing this site from the back of the pack. But yes, there is one better place, and that is not in the drivers seat of a mini van!
During my sojourn with the brothers and sisters of this site who made there way to the SWTF Rally in Prescott, AZ I spent the first leg of the trip watching from the van because as poor luck would have it, I was not able to bring my bike with me at the last minute of my 4250 mile journey to Prescott and back.
During a break, one of the site guys, "Satxron" came up and asked me if I would like to ride his bike. No real thought was put into my answer, as it was a no brainer of a response!
Ron allowed me the joy of not only riding his bike but allowing me to take my daughter for a ride as well. Not only Ron, but Amy Lee also allowed me the privilege and honor of riding her bike too on the way back from the Grand Canyon.
I left home rather bummed out for the duration of my 30 hour ride down to Prescott because my bike, my "Blue" was sitting at home. These folks in true fashion that has been manifest over and over in this place, allowed me to enjoy a trip that was not going to contain riding a motorcycle through some of the most excellent views and vistas this country has to offer.
Over and over, as I meet the members of this site and interact with them in business and as friends I am convinced they are all of the highest caliber of friends and acquaintances that a person can find, anywhere, bar none.
I can't say thank you enough.
