First Season's Ink!

Barb Larson's First Riding Season ends in News Print!

They say that good things come in pairs and most things happen in threes ... and if you take a matched pair and three of a kind and add them all together, you got yourself a fine full-house. The winning pair I'm thinking of are Barb Larson and Bumper Smith. We normaly don't think of a King and Queen as a winning pair ... But this King and Queen are a winning pair . For many of us life has a away of dealing what seems to be more than our share of low card hands ... but hopefuly, if we stay in the game long enough the cards will turn your way. Barb Larson most likely will attest to this. Her and Bumper met in the late Fall of 2003 and even though she is from Iowa and he is from Illonois, they still became a couple. Barb admits in gereral that she has always tended to shy away from Bikers out of fear, but with Bumper she wanted to know more. After the useal new millenium ritcheal ... "Lets go for Coffee, yes That's Coffee with a Capital, "C." for many a New Age Relationship has started with Coffee .. with a capital "C."

Though Barb openly admits she has always shy'd away from Bikers, she also admits she has always liked Motorcycles. So when Bumper invited her for a Mother's Day Run on his Motorcycle she agreed to go. As they say, " Man plans and God laughs." So, Bumper's plans of taking Barb for a warm day's ride in the sun, ended up more like a ride through the, "Perfect Storm." And instead of Barb leaning back against the tour box and enjoying the ride and the Sun, it became more like Bumper calling back over his shoulder ... and yelling " Hold on! Don't get washed over board!" Barb by then was starting to wonder about this this new Biker Life Style ... Was she sure that was a pair of Aces that she drew? Bumper, the Bike and a new life style. But alas, what is a relationship if it can not endure a few storm clouds ? ... even if those storm clouds belong to "The Perfect Storm!
