First of all, I want to say thank you to our visitors. It’s been a great joy to see how many people have visited our blog. I personally wish to keep my blog open for people to think about, and to comment on their own experience on any topic listed. That being said, let’s get on to today’s post.
It seems to me that everything in life has a name or number associated for it. The number 3 is one such number for me. There are 3 in my family, and the family I came from. Candice along with the other 3 in her family makes up their family. Most people have at least 3 generations in their family as well. At one time I wanted to be a math teacher, and my wife is an accountant again both would use numbers. Every living person use numbers daily, we’re just sometimes unaware of it, and if we don’t use a number, we certainly use the name for a number at some point during the day.
Names are also used daily and important for a couple of reasons in my opinion. They tell us who and what something is. I’m getting ready to go to a Triumph dealer later this weekend to look at some of their new bikes. If you don’t know Triumph is a motorcycle company from the UK and once upon a time they were a car brand popular here in the US. I personally love Triumph’s and after talking to my Dad I know he loved his TR-3. Again that number 3…. Anyway, back in the late 70’s early 80’s the company nearly went under like many motorcycle companies of the time. I particularly like Triumph’s because aside from being from the UK, they are unique and seem to be pretty loyal to who and what they are. Anyone can appreciate that fact, and ironically, the Triumph brand, has triumphed over their troubled past. I have had the pleasure of owning one Triumph motorcycle in my life so far, and I hope to maybe one day own another.

I owned a beautiful 2009 Street Triple which I affectionately called Candy Rae. A name I had affectionately nicknamed my wife. Any assumptions drawn there are and were intentional.

Anyway, that little Triumph, and my subsequent accident while on her, has caused me to triumph over my past. I have moved on in my own injury and gotten back on the road I love and share with everyone. I have become a motorcycle safety coach, and I feel I am beginning to triumph over the scars of my past. I hope that you all have a great weekend and that you will triumph on down any road you choose to travel.
