The Ride Takes On Another Meaning

This is the first post I am doing from my laptop, so it will be a tad longer than normal ones from my phone. Today was packed with meeting old friends and colleuges and hanging out in a town I feel very comfortable in. Not much has changed in Richmond or Chester, but it just felt good to get back there after being away for a few years. I made a promise to not take as long and to make a trip back down soon. The culture, environment and places to see are endless, history is endless and can be found around any corner.

I took a moment to stop by another Go Green Kawasaki Dealer and to check out a few things. The more I see other dealerships the more I begin to learn how right we do things at Cycle City. Little things like just have genuine interest in talking to a customer.

Oh did I mention it rained today, so rather than hang around for the evening I decided to head toward Elizabeth City and speed up the schedule to make sure I get into Clayton, NC Saturday night to see some family (one of them hitting the milestone 60th birthday).

I found myself following a very familiar route that i took several years back, in fact the last time I took this same route was on a Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 and going to my grandfather's house after hearing of his passing. So for the rest of my ride into Elizabeth City I reminisced about the times I had with him and my grandmother.

Tomorrow will put me on the Outer Banks and I will have some cool things for the kids to check out.
