WheelsOfGrace.com | Volume 10 Issue 2 | 9 My husband Clint has always loved two wheels. When we met in the late 1970's he was riding a street bike that he had worked on all by himself and made him the envy of all the guys in our high school! When we got married a few years later and turned to more family-oriented dirt bikes and quads, Clint never lost that longing for riding back on the pavement.
