Spark

Zach sparked something inside of me on Saturday...... He let me ride his dirt bike.

It has been several years since I have been able to ride and he was nice enough to let me ride his. I needed help and I was a little pathetic to start (I could barely touch my toes to the ground) but when I finally took off, all the memories started flooding in at once.

When I was living in Tucson I had an old dirt bike I use to ride around the desert. It was fun and I loved it, but after it got stolen out of my yard, I never replaced it. I have however, had the opportunity to ride a few different bikes over the years.

I use to ride a dirt bike that could only be started by popping the clutch while going down hill because the kick start was broke. I had many hours of riding on that one. Then Noah let me ride his whenever I wanted and I love that, he even let me take him for a ride or two.

Weeks ago, my brother had told me Will, Zach and Deidre were all out riding and having fun on their bikes and I have to admit, I was jealous and mad at the creep who stole my bike, but it made me start thinking of my past riding experiences.

Sometimes I have dreams that I am riding everywhere on a bike. I love it, and I had almost forgotten how much I loved it, until Will started talking to my brother about getting a bike. Now my brother and I are starting to talk about the fun we've had on our bikes. My sister is even thinking about getting one.

The strangest part to all of this is that Dean has had a dirt bike as long as I've known him and I have told him about my bike and the other bikes I've rode, but we still have not been riding together.

For years, Dean and I have had a plan to buy two dirt bikes with the money we get from selling his bike after we got it paid off................................ The timing for this new found spark is perfect because after 5 years together, we finally have his dirt bike paid off...........................
