Got to talk to a biker tonight. He had on a Triumph t-shirt on so I introduced myself. (note to self I need to get a Vulcan shirt. All bikers sport their brand). I asked all the normal motorcyclist questions. What’s your bike? How long have you been riding? Where you from?(that is a train question). Delightful chap had to be in his late 60′s and has been biking since the early 60′s. I had a great conversation with him and gave him my cruiser magazine I picked up right before I left.
When I was returning with the magazine he told me he was going to Minot ND. He was there three weeks ago for his mothers funeral. After the funeral he checked out the local bike shop and got word of a guy selling his 2007 Honda ST1300. He was looking for a BMW but couldn’t pass up this one with just over 1500 total miles on it. So he took his $15000 inheritance and put $10000 of it towards a new motorcycle. He also mentioned something about the guy throwing in an accordion, which I thought to be weird.
Safe travels Robert on your way back home. Your mom would be happy.
