had a guy walk in today and hand me a bag. says he doesnt ride anymore. Bag contained a heated vest and gloves, a well worn (COOL!) leather vest , pair of near new HD gauntlet gloves, set of desert dawg lowers and a pair of chaps.

"you can buy me lunch sometimes" he says
I looked at his worn and weathered face. It told of long years on the open road with just a single glance. His steely eyes said everything and nothing at all.

I started to say "Why....", but he just raised his hand and said "I don't ride anymore". Then he turned and walked out the door.

As the door swung wide the cool, night air rushed in sending a chill up my spine. The stranger walked on, never looking back, and as he passed under the moon light his figure faded and disappeared into a unearthly cloud of vapor and dust. In the back ground I could hear the distinct rubble of a far away ride, twin cylinders pumping carrying the spector to the after-life. Ride on Ghost Rider ride on...

I was stuffed in the patrol car, the officer said, you should know better than to wear your Outlaws vest when robbing a bank.... out of the corner of my eye I saw the guy walking down the sreet.
