Do You Remember CHiPs?

I used to love CHiPs when I was growing up. It was a cool show, and I loved it especially because it was about motorcycles. I would sit in jealous awe as I watched the intro to the show when Ponch and Jon were riding down the freeway and the camera got closeups of every piece of the bike. It was cool and it made me want a motorcycle so I could ride down the freeway next to my friend.

My youngest daughter and I like riding our bikes together. Ames has some pretty good bike paths, and we like going on them into parks and looking for the “off road” trails. We’ll see them and take them every time. That is where the fun is at. The other day we were riding down a paved path and I was right behind her. The path was clear so I sped up so I was right next to her, and I said “We’re CHiPs.” She had no idea what I was talking about. Kids these days.
