What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare? No time to stand beneath the boughs and stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, in broad daylight, streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, and watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can, enrich that smile her eyes began? A poor life this if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare. William Henry Davies

The better of two evils!
Brian's recent midlife crisis resulted in the purchase of a 2005 Yamaha Vmax. The boys were stoked! I was choked. I feared for their lives every time he took one of them for a ride. Turns out he was not happy with the bike and so traded it for a Honda CR250R for himself and a Honda CRF70F for Jamie. I always thought that the last thing I wanted to do was go ripping through the woods on a noisy, fossil fuel burning machine, but I have to admit that it is actually a lot of fun. So much so that I now have my very own Honda CFR230F with electric start (sweet!). We are going out again this weekend, so more pictures to follow. Below are some pictures of the first ride and a video of Jamie the very first time he rode his bike. He is really quite a natural, although he has managed to dump it every time he has been out...ouch, the learning process is painful.
Jamie in his street riding gear gettin' dirty!
Yes, we now have a proper dirt bike helmet for Robert. But check out the grin!
