And I can't help but wonder who gets a bigger kick out it,,,,,,,, them, or us?
Two years ago I was riding by a cousin's place. He was standing just off the road watching his horses. There was another fella there with him, only he was in a wheel chair. He was missing both legs from just below the knee. I stopped to say hi since it had been a while since I had seen Frank (cousin).
Well,,, Tom (fella in wheel chair) couldn't help but admire the bike. I don't think he had ever really seen a 1500 up close before. He just kept on commenting how great it must be to ride. I could sense it was coming,,,,,, wasn't sure if I wanted it to come,,,,, but it did,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the question,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"Would you take me for a ride"
How the hell could I say no????????? It would have distroyed him I think. He assures me he can sit up on it as long as I can help him on. I should mention he has the plastic artificial legs. He was able to stand up next to the bike while I helped to steady him. Then he sits side saddle in the driver seat,,,,,,,,, hands me his one fake leg so he can get it over the other side. I give him a boost and he is in the passenger seat with a big grin. Takes his leg back from me and fits it back on. He was able to keep them on the foot boards as normal for balance.
Went for about a 10 mile ride and he was in heaven. Told me to crank up the tunes. Happen to be going by his friends place who was having a little cook out with others and he asked me to stop so he could show his friends. When they saw thier friend on the back of a bike,,,,
all jaws droped. Pictures were taken for proof of the event. I should go visit and see if he has the pics. And take him for another ride.
I got a real kick out of making his day.
