Goodnight Vroom
« on: October 20, 2016, 05:43:52 PM »
Every year, around this time, with a mix of resignation and wistfulness, I get ready to lay the bikes up for the winter.

I wrote a little ode to the process on my motoblog a few years ago, and share it each fall. It's kinda like a bedtime story, only for motorbikes.

I'm not quite sure what to make of that  :undecided:
Of course here in Vancouver my bikes don't get put to bed I'm glad to say.

It helps a lot to be familiar with the classic child's good night story, "Good Night Moon"
