Happy Holidays from Great Bay!

All of us here at Great Bay Motorcycles wish all of you and your loved ones a healthy & happy Christmas holiday!

No motorcycling stories this week, just a few quick sentiments. If nothing else this holiday season, take a moment to remember how fortunate you probably are.

Last week I asked one of our more senior customers how he was and he stated emphatically, "I am on the right side of the ground and trying to keep it that way!"

Okay, that is as good a baseline as any. Will you eat today? Do you have a place to return home to? Do you love someone? These and many other difficult questions illustrate how challenging our world can be and how lucky many of us are. The very fact you are reading this means that you have electrical power or a smart phone with a charged battery!

And, if you are reading this you are probably a motorcycle or scooter enthusiast. If you are a motorcycle or scooter enthusiast you have had the opportunity to experience something unique, something fun, something to be passionate about besides the daily grind.

Passion and enthusiasm can be considered necessary or they can be considered luxuries. So, in this context, enjoy your passion and your enthusiasm. Smell the proverbial roses and be thankful for what you have. Aspire to your next great ride, your next planned trip, your next two wheeled object of affection. Appreciate the smile of a friend, the hug of a loved one, the sound of a favorite tune or...... motor.

We wish you a bit of joy this holiday! All the best.
