Murf sent a photo taken during 'The trip' and insisted it be posted. This was taken in Perry, Florida. It was early and we had just finished wiping the ice off the seats. Yes, ice. Later that morning when we arrived in Daytona people were wearing tee shirts, shorts, and flip flops. Here's my normal confused look:
This was an adventure of a lifetime. Tickles me that all the nay-sayers and doubters that poked fun and said I'd never make it have eaten some crow. The whole experience was just one laugh after another. We went for the RIDE and to have a good time.
Murf, I owe you...bigtime. Our friendship has survived over 3 decades and to ride over 2000 miles was awesome. There's one thing even more awesome. Harley riders don't want people sitting on their bikes without permission much less riding them. For you to loan me a beautiful Harley and tell me to ride it like it's my own, well that's the love of a brother. Thanks man.
It's going home this week. Couldn't pour the money together to buy it; computer tech here, not the best paying job on the planet. Never wanted a material thing so badly, but the Good Lord knows I will always cherish my time spent on it. Who knows? Money may show up!
