Motorcycle Double Date w/Jeff and Monique Henderson

Unlce Jeff and Nathan getting the bikes up and running...jumping them a few times and burning hot in their leather as the sun was beating down on them

Aren't we so cute in all our gear?!

 Nathan and I decided to take a Motorcycle class back in Dec 2010 in order to get our MC licenses (and I had missed my college graduation to take it Haha).  No surprise that Nathan passed the course with flying colors but so did I! :) Now with our licenses we can go out on Uncle Jeff's Harleys!  

The Saturday (4/16) before Nathan's BYU finals we get a call from Uncle Jeff.  "Look at this beautiful weather, why aren't you two here taking out my bikes?!" So we jumped in the car and drove out to Orem where we started out on our double date.  The bikes had some hick-ups when we tried to start them up but in no time we were off and riding.  I rode behind Nathan and Monique behind Jeff and up we went through the canyon.  The snow frosted mountains were beautiful.  We went up by Heber.  As we pulled off the main freeway and went up higher into the mountains the temperatures dropped and it got quite chilly; so thankful to be wearing the leather chaps and jackets!


Flattering picture of Uncle Jeff on his bike after he went back to see what had fallen off his bike only find Moniques broken hair clip...better safe then sorry I guess.



The free feeling you get when you're riding a motorcycle is unlike anything else.  You get to feel the change in temperatures as you go up in elevation, smell the fresh smell of the lumber yards and pines you pass, and feel the wind as it rushes by.  It is so neat to feel so free, like you're flying!
