Motorcycles
I have always enjoyed riding motorcycles. My first experience was riding on the gas tank of my older brother's Indian Warrior. I thought it felt like riding a roller coaster or flying in a small aircraft. When I was 14 my parents bought me a Cushman Eagle motor-scooter. It gave me the freedom I needed to get through my troublesome teens. While in Tuy Hoa, Viet Name, many of my friends talked about getting back to "the world" and getting back on their bikes. So, when I got back to the U.S. I bought a 1969 Honda 350 Scrambler. It was fast enough for me and helped me filter back into the reality of the United States. Marriage and Ministry came and years went by without a motorcycle. Maybe it was my mid life crisis, but the time came when I wanted another motorcycle. I found a 1974 360 Honda Scrambler and started riding again. Arizona was the perfect place to ride because of the weather. I realized that if I was going to see the beauty of this region, I would have to have a larger bike, so I purchased a 2002 Honda 1100VT Spirit. One day while at an air show I met a man with a leather jacket and motorcycle club patch with Christian logo on it. I asked him if he was a Christian and he said he was. I asked him if he rode a motorcycle and he said he did. The thought never occurred to me that you could be and do both. I thought it was the best of both worlds. Later I saw a bike club advertised in a magazine, and called Fred Beall of the Azuza Street Riders. We talked and I joined. Do you have a yearning to ride a bike again? Do you have a bike now? Join us at the Glendale Arizona Chapter of the Azuza Street Riders. "Set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest" Jeremiah 31:21. Please  e-mail Pastor Schafer if you are interested.  Pastor Gary Schafer
