President Carter Likes Harleys
The wife and I ride down to Plains, Ga on our '14 Ultra Limited. Nice 200 mile round trip ride.
Well, President Jimmy Carter was doing a book signing. So, we decided to purchase a couple of his books and get his signature. He turns 90 on October 1st so we figured this may be our only chance to meet him (or meet any President for that matter).
So, he's signing his books inside his brother's (Billy) old gas station. As you walk in you hand your open books to an assistant who sets the books in front of the President to sign. No handshakes, no standing around having a conversation. It's quick since there are a lot of folks in line.
Well, the lady in front of me is all excited and wishes the President a happy birthday. He doesn't respond. I walk up wearing my Loess Hills (Pacific Junction, Iowa) Harley t-shirt. The President looks up, looks at my shirt, looks at me, and says, "You ride a Harley?" I said, "yes sir!" He smiled, signed my book, and the wife was able to snap a pic.
Well, I thought it was kind of neat!

I have some Billy Beer if you want to add to your collection of things that will never be worth anything....
