Life in Motion with Rodney Myers and his motorcycle

Saturday, March 12, 2016 For those of you that have read about my rambling about Indiana, you know one of my favorite destinations are Covered Bridges.

At first, like others who had bought a bike from a distance, that she would just have it shipped. But this woman was looking for adventure, so she flew to Florida, and rode the motorcycle back homes 5,000 miles. After posting her intent on the Women Who Ride forum, she found that she would not make the journey alone. Other Women on the forum rode with her. Joining the dance across the country, they formed a supportive, conga line. That was the summer of 2008, and this is 2009. That woman, Flo Fuhr, realized she missed Alabama on her journ...
