Girl on a motorcycle

I did a garage clearance for an old lady yesterday,she is moving to a retirement home.She fell in love with my bike,and told me about her husbands bikes,and how they used to go camping on them.She asked if she could take some photos of my bike,to show her friends on facebook.I said i could do better than that,and lifted her out of her wheelchair,and sat her on it.The look on her face was priceless.I am going to print the photo,and frame it for her.

Way da go Mate!! That's an adorable picture and you made her day and yours as well.

You gonna ruin your classless. gruff, salty ass reputation up in here if you keep on posting stories such as this.

I had a similar situation where I met an elderly woman and her daughter on my way to Key West Florida. She was so enamored with my Beloved Nomad. She told me about how much she enjoyed riding when she and her late husband were younger. She told me his had a gear shift attached to the tank. She couldn't remember what year or model it was but we talked for quite a while. I offered to take her for a very gentle ride around the parking lot but she was a little to frail and wore a back brace for something like that.

So we stood beside it, her holding the handle bar while her took the picture. She wanted me in the picture.

I wish I'd taken the trouble of digging through my saddlebags to get my camera.
