History and footnotes

Once upon a time there was a girl who liked motorcycles...

Everybody who rode in the hills between Woodside and Santa Cruz knew Robert Kennedy or had some great story about how he could ride his dowdy Honda 650 Nighthawk and leave Ducatis in the dust.

I think I first met Robert at a Doc Wong Motocycle Clinic and some years later talked to him a little more at a Tuesday Night (motorcycle) Dinner. He suggested we go out sometime, I suggested we 'go out' on the following four Thursdays...at a Salsa dancing class. He took me up on it. --Linda 

Once upon a time there was a guy who liked girls who liked motorcycles...

Like Linda, I remember our first meeting at one of Doc Wong's motorcycle clinics. We bumped into each other casually over the next several years at Tuesday dinners but my whole perspective on her changed the first time we had a conversation while I was single. I got a hint of how remarkable she is and my version of the story is that she suggested we go out... to a Salsa dancing class. I was never a dancer so when I heard myself saying "I'd love to" I realized this woman had my attention! She's held onto it ever since.  --Robert
