June, 07

I had made a pit stop for gas, something to drink, leg stretch and bathroom. Filled the bike with gas, pulled up in front of the convenient store to vacate the area at the pump. When I had completed all that needed to be done, I got astride of the bike preparing to hit the road. Was pulling on my gloves when I heard a voice from behind me ask “Are you driving that?”

When I turned to look I saw a white-haired couple in a small car directly behind me. He driving, she in the passenger seat.

I didn’t answer right away. I made it obvious that I was looking over the fact that I was sitting on the bike that only had room for one person to ride, the passenger seat was occupied by a travel bag. “I must be since I’m sitting in the driver’s seat.” I replied.

He chuckled slightly and gave a waning smile. She hooted, clapped her hands then gave me a thumbs up as she said “You go , girl!”

In a split second they were gone.

Without a wave of good bye or anything from him.

She was still laughing.
