Santa is a biker…

1In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2(This was the first census that took place whilea Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3And everyone went to their own town to register.

4So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

8And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

13Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

14“Glory to God in the highest heaven,

and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

16So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

Riding My Motorcycle And Christmas Shopping!

I am lucky to live here in central Texas. We never put our bikes away for winter. Yes, we can have some really cold and nasty winter weather but in a day or two it will be clear skies with temperatures ranging from the 40’s to the 80’s.

Monday was one of those days and the Wing was feeling a bit neglected and I just needed to get out and ride. And since I needed to do some Christmas shopping I decided to combine the two. Janet had looked at a few things and I decided to go get them for her stocking by the longest scenic route I could find.

Christmas Shopping Route

It was a bit cool but perfect riding weather. I like cool better than hot any day. You can dress for cool but you can’t ride naked when it is blistering hot… The ride was just about 111 miles, round trip. I set the radio to Magic 95.5 and listened to Christmas music during the ride. Nothing better to clear your mind than riding listening to Christmas music. It just helps put you into the Christmas spirit.

It was a great ride and I can check off one more thing off my Christmas gift list.

Dogs Who Ride Motorcycles

Dogs who ride motorcycles seem to be everywhere. The other day I saw this video about dogs riding in side cars. It made me think back over the years about all the dogs I’ve seen riding not only in sidecars but on the motorcycle either behind or in front of the rider. I’ve seen one small dog riding in a leather saddlebag and another in a backpack. The dogs have been all sizes and breeds and they all seemed to enjoy the ride. My brother’s dog would get excited every time he would start his 4 wheeler. It loved to ride, and why not? It seems like these dogs were bred to ride. I googled “dogs riding motorcycles” and got over 3 million results. There were pictures, videos, articles, dog carriers and apparel… helmets, goggles, jackets etc…

I like this video a lot because this friendly bulldogs loves to wave to other bikers as they pass.

This video is a compilation of more dogs riding in every way you can imagine…

I have been following this blog about Ara and his dog Spirit for some time. He travels around with his dog in the sidecar. It is a story about life, sadness and overcoming… Click the image below to go to Ara’s blog…

Several years ago a girl I worked with told me about a motorcycle trip she took with her boyfriend from the east coast to the west coast.  She took her cat. She said she would never do that again. I can only imagine…. I have noticed you never see riders riding with their cat.
