Another, nother

29 years ago, I had just met my current wife

I was almost over the previous wife

Came Sunday, I loaded up the suzukis to go to the races

The track was only 4 hours from home

Got there

Signed in

Got a hot dog

Took to unloading the bikes

Barked my shin on the tail gate

It was one of those old Chevy gates hung on chains.

Whined and sizzled

Said BooHoo and drove home.

Wife said "some big time racer, letting that stop you"

For 20 years I had wondered how it would end

35-40 races a year

The beginning of the end of the beginning of the end
