It was a warm mid-summer evening in Southern California; hot during the day but around sunset it generally cools-off to a balmy 75-80 degrees which (in my opinion) is perfect for an evening ride on my Harley. The fact that there is a weekly dirt-track motorcycle race an easy thirty minute ride from my house makes it that much better.
A couple of guys I work with also ride and throughout much of the summer we all get together and make the easy ride to the local dirt track where we spend an evening watching guys braver then us battle it out on motorcycles out on the track. We eat some fattening food, have a few beers then ride home and call it a night. Being Wednesday night made it harder at first but now, a month into the series it had become easier to work-it into my week.
That is until last Wednesday when one-by-one my buddies all dropped-out. One guy was sick, another had to do something with his kid and the third was working out of town at another one of our offices.
I drove home from work disheartened. Sure it's just a weekly race that I have no stake in but it was still a good way to break-up the week. Not wanting to go alone I was faced with a boring evening at home probably watching a ball game on TV.
Since from May to September my wife is used to me being gone on these weekly Wednesday night rides she has a standing date with our 23 year-old daughter, Fergie so I wasn't surprised when I arrived home and saw Fergie's car parked in front of my house.
When she was younger Fergie and I had been incredibly close. She went everywhere with me but then in her later years of high school she had grown rebellious. Sneaking around with boys late at night. One time we'd even caught her giving some pimply-faced teenage boy in her room a blow-job. That was the last straw. When she turned 18 we kicked her out and didn't hear much from her for a year or so. Then one day she showed-up at our house with a young man who was clean-cut, had a job in sales and seemed to have his life together. They got married a year later and we saw them frequently and all seemed well, though Fergie and I were never as close as we had been.
I walked-in and found my wife and Fergie were sitting at our kitchen table looking at department store ads. I greeted them then told them about my change of plans for the evening. A moment later my wife asked why I don't take Fergie with me.
Fergie immediately said "I'd love to go!"
I looked at her. To say that Fergie had grown into a woman would be an understatement. She was 5'5" with blonde hair which I was sure came from a bottle. She had been fairly heavy when she was younger but now seemed to do a good job of keeping her weight in-check. Her tits though were by far the feature that had attracted the boys to her back in school and they were still as large as ever. Despite having curbed her younger wild ways she still seemed to enjoy showing-off her ample cleavage, generally wearing tops and bra's which were barely able to contain her generous tits.
Despite all that I pondered taking Fergie with me. My wife must have known what I was thinking because before I could say anything she said,
"I don't mind you taking her, besides it would be nice for the two of you to do something together."
"What about your Husband John?" I asked Fergie.
"He's in Chicago on business. He won't be back until Friday." She replied.
"We'll go another time. There isn't time for you to go home and change." I said referring to the pleated skirt she was wearing; it came-down to just above her knees. Of course up-top she was wearing a grey halter top which her tits were all but spilling out of. As much as I was guiltily enjoying perving over her outfit, I knew there was no (decent) way she could ride on the back of a motorcycle like that.
"What's wrong with wearing a skirt to the races? It's cooler than jeans would be." She asked.
"I ride my Harley to these races. You can't ride as a passenger on a motorcycle wearing a dress and sandals." I replied matter-of-factly.
"Well my car is a mess, but why can't we take your truck?" Fergie asked.
"The guy across the street asked if he could borrow it a couple of days ago. I told him he could use it tonight since I normally don't drive to the races. He'll be over to get the keys in a few minutes." I replied, now sort of regretting letting one of my best friends borrow my truck.
"So take my car." My wife said uninterestedly. "I'm not going anyplace tonight."
"Great, so I get to take my daughter, to the dirt-track races, in a skirt, in a minivan." I said.
"Beats not going at all!" Fergie said as she jumped-up and gave me a hug. "I think it sounds like fun, let's go!"
I hate to admit when my wife is right but taking Fergie with me to the races was more fun than I'd expected. I'd forgotten that years before she had gone with me regularly to these races (and others like them) and I was surprised that she still remembered many of the racers.
We talked about some of the things we used to do together, though for the first time in a long time our conversation didn't degrade into an argument over who said or who did what, rather we just talked about the good times we'd had and laughed about different things we'd seen and done.
The night's racing was good, which is always a bonus. Since it's a weekly series raced by many of the same people week-after-week it can sometimes get a little, well boring. But this night saw a lot of close finishes, a few breath-taking crashes and a couple of rookie's who seemed to have more testosterone in them than brain's which always makes for good racing action.
We watched the racing from a couple of different points along the track. At one point we were leaning against a guardrail watching some of the racers getting ready for a heat when Fergie asked me,
"You used to race didn't you?"
"Yes, but not in this series. I raced in the open desert. Our races were typically several hundred miles long." I replied.
"Why don't I remember you doing that when I was a kid?" Was Fergie's next question.
"I promised your Mother I'd stop racing when we had you. It's dangerous and she didn't want to be a single parent." I told her.
"Do you ever miss it?" She asked.
"Oh, yeah. I loved everything about it. But I also liked the idea of having a family too. Being a spectator helps, so does riding my Harley. It's different but it works." I told her.
