Motorcycles, Poodles and Hell

Friday morning we'll be off for the weekend to Hell's Canyon Motorcycle Rally 2010 in Eastern Oregon. I have to admit that I'm a little afraid. It's not a secret that I haven't been feeling my best these past 5 months, but that's not really what's bothering me. I'll load up on the B12 and whatever else I can to keep me going, but what scares the CRAP out of me is one of the rides that Jeff wants to go on while we're there.

It's called The Devil's Tail, not the "Tail of the Dog", not the "Kitten's Tail" oh no, it's freaking called the "DEVIL'S TAIL." One of the demonizing great descriptions I've come across says that "it makes Deal's Gap look like child's play." Yeah, yeah, I know that most of you have no idea what the heck I'm talking about, but it's some scary BLEEP.

The ride there should be beautiful and the ride back sensational, it's just the ride while we're there that has me petrified! Maybe Isabella and I will just hang around the town, meeting the vendors and seeing the sites while those more daring get intimate with the Devil's Tail.

I thought I'd show you a few pics of Isabella's transformation. Maybe looking at her baby pictures and the way she is today will make me feel a bit nostalgic and I'll be ready to ride on Friday.

Here she is fresh off of the showroom floor. That's little Jake showing her off.

First long ride before the accident.

Being taken apart after the accident. She was totaled.

Home from the painter!

I think that the pink skull is one of my favorite parts.

Nikki and I chose a huge pink poodle to take to the kids toy run. You should have seen everyone looking at two girls flying down the highway on a pink bike holding a huge pink poodle!

Now that I've looked through pictures of my baby I'm looking forward to the trip. I'll make sure I have my camera available and IF I dare see the Devil's Tail I'll get some pictures.

Alrighty then, I'm beginning to get scared all over again.........
