I heard the bikes working their way up the oil trail before
I could see them. I leaned back in the blue chair, knowing that my lawn was
soon to be turned into a mini Sturgis. One by one the bikes became visible as
they turned up the driveway, D’s new truck and trailer bringing up the rear. “One,
two, three, four, five, six, and seven,” I mumbled as I counted them all.
“Are we ready for this?” Gma asked.
I sighed, “hope so.”
Before I knew it the bikes were parked, the tents were up,
and the coolers were stocked. As I sat in the chair watching the progression I
couldn’t help but wonder why D had elected to bring the truck and the big
trailer, other then to hold the gear. Blue smiled at me, “ready for this?”
I sighed, “I hope so.”
He chuckled and took my hand, “come on I got a surprise.” He
drug me over to the trailer where he let the ramp down. Nestled nicely next to
D’s Road King sat a familiar bike. She was now a dark black with a cool blue
stripe, my logo scrolled across the gas tank. Tears welled in my eyes as they
rolled it off the trailer.
My eyes met Charming’s, “thank you.” I whispered.
I wrapped my arms around D’s neck, “thank you so much.”
He embraced me as my emotions spilled out, “you are most
welcome Baby Girl.”
Charming smiled at me, I knew he recognized the change in
me. I knew the world was quietly changing around me. That my life was finally on tack, and that maybe, just mybe things were going to change for the better.
