Good friendships are about good memories
A Visit From Some Old Friends
(Thanking Carl and Phyllis)

A visit from some old friends
Turns back the hands of time
Back to the days of riding
And maybe misdemeanor crime
Met them in the HOG club
The Harley “Mary Poppins” group
When we were week-end rebels
From the times of hula-hoop
Those days were so much different
Chose two wheels over cage
Trips a thousand miles or more
For us was all the rage
Starting then, before the sun rose
Stopping hours after set
The ride was what it was about
Not the ending, you can bet
All five senses were aware
Of the wind, and open road
Saddlebags and tour packs
Carried all our journey's load
Never was a thought of trailering
Even when from coast to coast
If we had hauled the bikes behind us
We'd have no reason now to boast
Living then in florida
Rode from there, throughout the land
The lower forty-eight were done
Canadian Maritimes were grand
Riding in South Africa
On the left side of the lane
Saw DLT's and Ostriches
Found tractors were a pain
There are so many memories
Could go on forevermore
But I hear you now are knocking
Must stop and open up the door
