I was supposed to be heading to Loudon, NH today for a few days at the track but due to back and elbow injuries I decided to pass. So this morning I was hanging around the house feeling sorry for myself when Robert sends me a text saying he and a friend (Bryan) are camping in Brattleboro, VT heading to Nova Scotia and beyond. He wanted to see if there was a chance we could meet up for a few hours today.
We agreed to meet in Greenfield, MA for lunch. Nothing fancy there is a 99 restaurant right off the highway so we agreed to meet there.
One thing is for sure Robert rides a lot - he told me he is slowing down a little (you know he is getting older) only rides about 30,000 miles a year these days.
They are week one into a 27 day road trip - they split the days camping or going to a motel usually weather dictates which.
We had a great conversation during and after lunch and Bryan jumped right in like I had known him for years.
After a few hours of shooting the breeze they decided it was time to hit the road and try and beat the thunderstorms that were coming in.
They were heading back to their camp site and in the morning heading on north.
Meeting up with these guys was just what I needed to lift my spirits - another day in my life if not for motorcycles would have sucked.
