Cruisin'

I have spent the afternoon on the back of a motorbike and it was such good fun! It's been a long winter but spring's here and as the buds start to come out so do the bikes and all the riders. My parents have got a nice big one and as my mom isn't allowed to get on it for quite some time, I was the one who got to get behind my dad and just sit back and relax while he did the driving.

There were 5 bikes, so 5 men + 3 women on the backseats and I was one of them. We were out driving for about 4,5 hours and the sun was lovely and warm, no wind, springflowers everywhere and animals in the fields which made it all so much nicer.

I'd like to get one myself but I'm not allowed to as I get a bit "speedcrazy". My sister, brother and I were given some money a couple of years back to use for a bike-license although mine came with the condition that I had to promise not to get one. I guess parents know you better than you think, at least mine did on that specific matter.

I've always loved riding fast which meant it wasn't very good if both the horse and I were speed-crazy as it just got out of control. I have on a few occasions fallen off just because it's gone a bit too fast in the forest and losing balance when the road bent. This is not smething that is recommended when riding.

The last couple of years I've learnt that it's not just with horses, I like going fast on quadbikes (I so neeeeeed one) and on snowmobiles (good fun but I'd be happier with a quadbike). My former colleagues said that I had a scary look in my eyes and that they'd never seen anyone go from easygoing to an absolute monster within 30 seconds after putting my arse down on the seat.

Anyway, as I have promised my parents not to get one and not to mention that Boyfriend is a boring anti-bike person, I guess I'll have to get my ration of bike-riding when I'm at home and as long as dad doesn't mind me sitting on the back grinning like a fool.

Awww, the freedom!
