Touring!

Maybe a month or so ago Riley broke down and bought a motorcycle. He had been wanting one for a long time now but couldn't decide which kind he wanted to buy. Last summer we went and test drove quite a few "street fighter" type motorcycles, which Riley really liked but weren't really comfortable for me to ride on for long distances. The idea was to have one that we could both ride on for extended periods of time. He had been perusing KSL for months after not finding the perfect one last year and finally found the one he wanted! It wasn't running when he first bought it and it needed work, but it was a screaming deal! It's a 1984 Goldwing Aspencade edition. He worked on it for several Saturdays and after work during the week and got it up and running. Then he had to wait for nice weather (which you'd have thought was going to be the death of him).

Not a week after Riley bought his, my dad decided that he also needed a "touring" motorcycle. He has had a motorcycle for quite a few years, but wanted one that my mom would ride with him. So pretty soon my dad came home with a shiny new BMW...he just HAD to show us up ;)

Thursday night we went on our first official "tour" (which is what my dad and Riley have been calling rides these days). We drove up Weber canyon and stopped at Chris' gas station/restaurant in Huntsville for a bit to chat. Then we drove back through Ogden canyon and stopped for dinner and Mormon muffins at the Greenery! We also spent some time walking through the little shops at Rainbow Gardens.





We're all super excited to plan trips to Moab/Jackson Hole/Yellowstone on the bikes this summer! Warmer weather can't come soon enough!
