1st Ride Together

• Here's Lisa & I on our first ride together.  It was a beautiful day, I think it was in the low 70's with a little breeze.  You couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.  My buddy from work,  Mike Deets,  affectionately known only as Deets,  had his tire repaired from the previous ride which ended prematurely. 
• We meet up in O'Fallon, IL & then made our way north to Fast Eddie's Bon Air.  Needless to say the food was as advertised cheap & great tasting.  It was Lisa's first time there, she seemed to really enjoy the atmosphere along with the food.  
• Once lunch was over we made our way to Ted's H-D, to fantasize about the next bike I'd like to get so Lisa & I can each have our own to ride.  I was surprised she didn't rule the notion out completely at this time!!!! So maybe down the road it might come true, wouldn't that be great?!?!? 
• After I'd finished drooling & purchased my token H-D shirt from there, we made our way south down Route 3 back toward STL.  While on the way we decided to stop & take a look where our STL-ARCH base is being relocated to in Granite City.   Since the road wasn't completed as of yet we didn't take our bike down to get a closer look, we only gazed from afar.  
• Since that was shorter than planned due to construction we proceeded across the McKinley bridge back into downtown STL, only a few  minutes after departing the base.  Deets had to go to work, so we parted ways on Hwy 44 & 55.  Lisa & I came on home to relax & see the kids.
