Default Legend

Riding with the normal old dude's yesterday, they mentioned a car show for Disabled American Veterans was going on and show's is something that never interests them but being veterans they wanted to go to donate. They fired up a 53 Pan, 71 original Superglide Boat Tail and a nice 74 Superglide and away we went, normal event hot a hell, black top with end being late. We wasn't there for the awards but White Bike pulled a trophy and my number was drawn for the cash award.

Since the old dude's can be sarcastic azzholes, felt it was a good time to turn my game up explaining to them they were riding with a legend(in fun), Bought them cold one's after the show, put a picture on Facebook, with each phone ding I made a comment of "that's my fan club" plus going to sign autograph's, they got laughing making it a great day which is what riding is all about with good friends having a good time.

So, you aren't saying YOU are the legend, are you?

These guys I ride with are Vietnam vets, respect the heck out of them for going to war plus passing on Harley heritage to those who listen.
