Believe it or not here is a picture of the bike (not the one we took but exactly like it) my dad and I took from California to Illinois in the summer of '67 when I was 13. It is a 1966 BSA 650, the only difference was ours had a little sissy bar for me to lean against and we had saddle bags for our gear. Wish pops had one of his big Harley's then!
I'm thinkin' someone had to be praying for us!!
that is awesome EZ. I cant imagine taking a trip that long on a cc that small...lol My husband and I prayed long and hard about the decision to ride. He has been riding for about a year and half, and I have been riding for a year. Its something we can enjoy together and we feel God has really blessed us with them. Our best rides happen with several members of our church, its the greatest fellowship.
God was certainly with you in more ways than one. That was a special time with your dad. I see it is one of your treasured memories.
It certainly is BARGOO and although he passed away almost 20 years ago from cancer I can still recall the last "big" memory of motorcycles with him was when we all went up to Sacramento for the Sacramento Mile...took an RV...just me and my brothers/bil/dad and a few close friends...a great send off for my dad!

Asking our Prayer Warriors for prayers for Matthew's family as they go through a tragic situation in their lives. Prayers have been requested for this from a 3FC friend.
Let us all be praying for the families of those killed in the plane crash in Montana.
Also prayer for the families of the four police officers murdered in Oakland, Ca.
Prayers ascending for Matthew's family; the families of those who lost members in the Montana plane crash; and for the families of those 4 police officers as well ...
CANADIAN PRAYER REQUEST ~ I would like to ask you to remember the families of 16 workers (plus the pilot) who died in a helicopter crash off NEWFOUNDLAND recently. They were all on their way to work on an offshore oil rig when it crashed. There was only one survivor but he isn't able to talk yet ... thanks!

Prayers said for all the needs-for comfort for grieving families and for needs we don't know; for God to be glorified and made known through the tragedies and difficult situations. He is our Comforter, Redeemer, and Friend and knows the needs of our hearts and spirits. He will lead the way through the sadness and trials and give peace to all who ask. Amen and praises to His name.
The news just seems to be full of tragedy. I suggest if you are in sorrow read John 14.The Psalms are also very encouraging , see Psalms 34 and of course Psalm 23 is a favorite of many,one of my favorite verses is Isaiah 40:31 as well as Isaiah 41:13. God bless you all.
PRAYER REQUEST PLEASE ~ My step-mother who had the uterine tumor removed and the bladder cancer 2 years ago, just tested positive for more cancer cells in her bladder. The area is about the size of a quarter, and they are hoping they will not spread anywhere else in her body, so we would really appreciate some prayers for her. She is a lovely Christian lady too ... so thanks very much!
My sister NUMPSTER is having some health issues; her doctor wants her to lose 20 lbs quick to lower her blood pressure becuz the neurologist thinks she may have had a mini-stroke. He also wants her to stop eating all wheat products as he thinks an allergy to them may be causing her chronic diahhrea. Her DH is also have work-related health problems, and they are looking for wisdom and prayers concerning what direction they should take at this time.
Thank you all so much for your prayers; they are very much appreciated.
My family has many memories of motorcycles....dad onced owned part of the Harley shop here...a long time ago.
