Slow ride… take it easy

This past Saturday evening, I took a nice, long and leisurely ride on my BF’s Harley Davidson.

It wasn’t like this scene from Easy Rider.

I was the passenger! Of course, we did not have a chance to chat too much while riding. What with the wind whistling by, it makes it a bit hard to understand what the other is saying. However, occasionally, we chatted. One of his first questions was if I was enjoying myself. I was but… the seat was very uncomfortable. I went on to say, that I did not have a lot of cushion on my butt so I could feel every single thing as we rode. He laughed and told me that I did indeed have a little butt. He patted my leg and we continued down the road for a little stretch. I waited a bit to tell him, since I knew he had been looking forward to having me along. I did not want him to be disappointed that I did not enjoy it as much as him. Besides, I was able to tolerate it for a bit. Guess what? Not too long after I told him about the discomfort, he turned around and went back home and swapped out the seat. The difference was like night and day. Wow, no more discomfort and I really was able to enjoy the experience.

The above song and motorcycle rides seem to go together.

Of course… when I hear the song, I always think of the last scene in Dazed and Confused. Have you seen the movie?
