Holly and the Motorcycles

Someday I will write a book. I guess I'll know at the time whether it will be an autobiography or a story based on true events. It depends on if I have nothing left to lose and want to go out in a bkaze of glory, or do what I think will happen: die as a recluse in a chair in a cabin in the woods with one loyal cat and a half-knitted sweater. 

But in the present, all is good. We celebrated the second anniversary of our store, Freedom Thirteen Cycle, on July 1st! The local folks and truck drivers and travelers who have bought items they need or want from us will never fully know how valuable they are. It isn't easy running a brick and mortar store these days. People shop online for the fun factor more than anything, and who doesn't like to see the UPS truck pull up and deliver a package? On the other hand, that Amazon and Ebay seller won't be there for you when your bike breaks down on Rt. 7 or old 82 or out on a country road in Pulaski. Shop local: Bryon and I are on the roads with you, and we'll be the ones who have your back. 

In other news, we've been riding a lot. I got my Yamaha running and inspected in mid-June. Almost 500 miles under my belt now. Thanks to Bryon for teaching me good skills from his motocross days; I feel confident. 

And then we were lucky to get a 4 day vacation in August. Went with 7 grand friends to Gettysburg. I had been there many times before, some had not. It was good for all with perfect weather. We couldn't be happier!

Time never ends, so don't let the Autumn slow your riding. Hopefully you had a summer to remember! Keep riding, stay safe, be merry! ~ Stitchblade
