Earth Day Motorcycle Ride

"The bees are buzzin, the flowers bloomin,
Birds are chirping, an hogs are roarin.
Lets get ready to rumble. Got the pipes warmed up
and ready to fly like the wind.
Or is that fly in the wind"

quote from our very own Bill Sharp/Fireyladd

We were thinking of getting some folks together for an "Earth Day Ride", where we celebrate by filling up our motorcycle tanks.... Unplugging, taking off and enjoying some of this great Big Earth!!! Being that it falls on a Wednesday, I figure we better shoot for riding on the 25th....

Sit back for a moment and reflect on all the details and complexities that went into the process of the creating this big 'ol world.

In my view, God specifically penciled out the shape of each of the millions of flowers on Earth, blended the watercolors and matched the leaves to the petals. He decided which varieties should grow in the various climates, how they should group themselves on the edge of a hill in early spring, and how they should lay a carpet across a meadow. He added trees and shrubs and brushed in hundreds of varieties of grasses. He strategically placed waterfalls, rivers and underground springs to bubble over the rocks and provide sustenance to the delicate plants.

And that is just the beginning....

Ok, so I got a little caught up with my inner-treehugger. Truth be told motorcycles are the original green machine. Although motorcycles have internal combustion engines, we have reduced congestion, pollution, and energy consumption as compared to cars and trucks.

But you already knew that...

Thinkin possibly a overnighter? What are you thoughts?
Route ideas?
