Who Rode Today?

Once upon a time, my wife thought she should get a bike...I taught her when I was teaching the bike courses...she and I both agreed she should stick to 4 wheels....
The other day she mentioned riding again- I think time has erased any memories of how scary she was on 2 wheels..
I pretended as to not hear her...

Could always put her on 3 wheels and get her a can am or something similar. My wife just can't get comfortable on the busa she used to love the back seat on my srad which wasn't much different but I think the power scares her so she's brought up wanting ti possibly learn to ride. But I think I'll just save up to get a Corbin rear seat with the backrest and try to get her back comfortable cause where i live i just can't trust the cagers and I'm too nervous about her being on 2 wheels. Of course she is half polish so I tell her that makes me even more nervous

4 hours on the road today. Got out to the really nice roads in NC. We rode the superbike highway 4-5 times then got out of there before someone called the cops. This is a picture on the way out, iconic Cavalier Hotel. Now a distillery, brewery and restaurants. Those are 3-5 million dollar houses on either side. The ocean is at my back.

Yep, my hometown
My wife is a Detroiter, that's why we have been together 32+ years, I'm afraid of her Lol! I was there for 2 1/2 years from 86-88. I enjoyed the city, especially the music and food. I was working on the COBO Hall renovation

My dad had a shop on the East Side E&T Garage on Mt Elliot right across from the cemetary. This was YEARS ago though lol. I visit 1-2 times a year usually for family related stuff, I may be up again in June for my cousin's graduation celebration.Mine too, I was raised in Detroit and the surrounding cities as a kid (moved around ALOT).

Downtown is a whole new place over the last few years, used to be only a select few of its that would go downtown and walk around now it's a happening spot all the time, cleaned up and looking good down there. I remember when the superbowl was here I was downtown drinking at the bars and telling everyone how they weren't seeing the real Detroit because they had opened a bunch of temporary spots for the homeless to get warm and eat so the tourists weren't bothered by them. A few Detroit cops I knew told me how they over packed the jails at that time with a bunch of people they were just holding to keep off the street. Now it looks better then when they were faking it. But if you leave downtown area and go into some of thr neighborhoods that's where u see all the abandoned houses and empty overgrown lots. But you can see downtown's growth slowly spreading out ti those areas, it's just a shame that a lot of those old beautiful houses are torn down to put up new style ones where the whole block has 3 different styles just copied and pasted up and down the street.
