Bikers have a wild, wild reputation and they deserve every bit of it. You see, it's a wild kind of feeling to have the wind in your face and the pavement swirling underneath your feet, and the rumble of 500 Harleys roaring in your ears! That was some ride I had - with the biggest bunch of crazy, funny, wooly, leather-garbed, beer-drinking, cigar-smoking, hippy, fiercely patriotic, in-your-face kind of folks who are also loyal friends who happen to L-O-V-E their bikes! I went along for the ride with camera in hand and helmet on, balancing precariously on the back of the bike when I too often wiggled when I should have wobbled in an effort to 'get the shot.' There is something provocative about a group that celebrates both the stereotypes that characterize them in the public's eye, and their penchant for passion and for life. It's an odd but powerful mix that makes me want to GO BACK for more! Identities have been withheld to protect the innocent. |

A Great Story A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop. The surgeon was waiting for the service manager to take a look at his bike. The mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc, can I ask you a question?" The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its 'heart', take valves out, fix'em, put'em back in; and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I get such a measly salary and you get the really big bucks when you and I are doing basically the same kind of work?" The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over and whispered to the mechanic, "Try doing it with the engine running." |
