It might be a little late in the month to say this, but August was really made for bikers. Okay, the weather may not always be the best for riding, but the month itself is full of holidays that bikers can appreciate.
Skipping all the great days that have passed us by, we can start by appreciating today, which is Creamsicle Day. Sounds pretty good after a hot ride, huh?
Tomorrow is Relaxation Day. What do you do to relax. Too bad they didn't put that holiday on a weekend where we could have used it!
If you want to compose a few lines of verse to celebrate how you feel about hitting the open road, do it on the 19th, because that is Bad Poetry Day. Not saying your poetry stinks or anything, but if it does then people will be much more forgiving on the 19th.
Polish up the chrome for August 23rd. That is Ride the Wind day, and really, shouldn't that be a National Holiday? Call in sick to work.
If you made someone mad on any of those other days, you can always remedy that on Kiss and Make Up Day. That is August 25th. More than enough time to Ride the Wind back home or to work.
We don't recommend kissing your boss to apologize for disappearing on the 23rd. But if you do, please send us photos!You can do that on the 27th, which is Just Because Day.
Even though none of these days were SPECIFICALLY made for bikers, we feel that with the right perspective, just about any holiday can be turned into a Biker Holiday. Or any regular day, for that matter. In fact, we feel that Wednesdays should all be declared mandatory "Ride It If You've Got It Day".
