My mom is having a very special birthday and I am taking my Can-Am Spyder to Florida to celebrate with her and family.  She is hosting a pig roast in celebration and promises it will not be me thrown in the oven.  During this week I will be heading down the east coast and stopping to see families and friends.  During next week I will see more family and head up the Blue Ridge Parkway – my favorite motorcycle road in the country.  While I usually prepare my blogs a little in advance I have prepped the next two weeks worth and scheduled them to appear.  I may slip in a few additional but will catch up more on my return.  It is hard to edit with my Mac on the handlebars and I am likely to spend quite a bit of time on my bike.  It will be 3,000 miles of sheer bliss and hopefully not too much rain.  If you see the below sight during the next two weeks, worry not, it’s only me.  Wave hello!
