Nothing like a day in the saddle with good friends. My buddies John, Big Denny, and I spent a day together riding up Mt. Baker in our northern Cascade range. Denny took this photo up on top:
I introduced you guys to Big Denny some time ago. He is a cancer survivor, a guy we all thought we were going lose several years back. We litterally walked through the front door of the Boeing Company together, 30 years ago, and have been great friends ever since. His bike is the Street Glide in the middle.
Now on to the "Superman the matchmaker" part of the story. Seems Supe was riding his newly fixed up CB750 one day, and stopped in the town of Leavenworth for a cold one. Being the friendly, outgoing guy he is, he struck up a conversation with another rider. To make a long story short, this other rider was the very man who, along with his big brother, had gotten me into the whole street bike thing back when we were 16 years old. We rode together constantly until we were in our 30's, then somehow careers, families, and a couple of moves saw us lose touch with one another. Anyway, somewhere in the course of their conversation, it became apparent they both knew me. So Supe gave John my number.
So, here we are, friendship renewed and riding together once again. That's John's Road King on the left, and mine on the right. Life is good.
