My hubby as a beautiful Shiny Red Yamaha Motorcycle that he has decked out for us to ride together on. I do enjoy going out with him.
The blind thing does cause a few problems.
When you sit on the back of the motorcycle in a very comfortable “Ultimate” seat You get the opportunity to look around at the area you are driving in.
I can see the trees, but if something is in the trees — I don’t see it.
You can see the billboards advertising the upcoming attractions. I can see the billboard, I can even tell you that there is a building on the billboard, but have no idea what the promotion is. And we can definatley forget about reading ANY of the exits signs to tell me where I am.
So I had the problem of getting bored. I am not a person to sit and so nothing. i am always on the move and doing something. (Even if I make more gift bags, and don’t even have enough people to give gifts too.}
I tried listening to the radio that is in my helmet, but I ended up with alot of static and terrible stations.
He wants to go on longer trips together and he came up with the most terrific anniversary/birthday present for me. He got me the IPOD Touch.
It has many features that will enable me to use it with my eye problem. It has the touch screen that I envied when my sons showed me their phones and It will hold all my music, and hook into the helmet. i am patiently learning to use it.
I can dance (sorta) and sing (badly) while riding behind him.
My hubby is a terrific guy. He has been there to help me right from the start with the eye thing. Everything that is available to talk to me and help me out he gets me. I am really happy to have this wonderful guy. Happy anniversary 17 years.
