Living the Life of a Biker....Wild Hog Style

It's been an interesting week for this Wild Hog. I got a tat. The old Apple logo.


(Mom, relax, I didn't really do it, it was just a movie quote.) But, it has been quite an interesting week. On Tuesday, I'm out riding, and I get a guy asking me a bunch of questions about the bike while I was fueling up. So, politely, I answered his question, and he told me he thought it was a very nice motorcycle, and it looked very nice. I thanked him, and joined the rest of the gang (Spence and Lunchbox and the blonde). So, I headed back south on Dakota Ave., and went in to the station to work on an interview. I came back out 7 minutes later to a guy in a pickup standing there just staring at the motorcycle. He asked if it was mine when I came out, and he said it was very nice looking, and asked me about it, and told me about his motorcycle. So, we parted a few minutes later, as I went back to the gang, and he said it was a nice looking bike, and I again thanked him for noticing. Well, Lunchbox and I were hungry so we stopped at Zesto for ice cream. We sat at a booth in the corner and were talking, and a guy walks up and asks me if I'm driving the Red V-Star. (I'm not making this up, all this happened within 20 minutes of each other.) I said yes and he asked where I bought it. Turned out, it was the guy who had it before me, named Paul. So we talked for 20 minutes about bikes, riding, and the fun of it all. He wished me well, and we went back outside and headed home. Then on Wednesday, I had to go check some things on the west side of town. I was pulled up at a stop sign on Lincoln and Third when a Harley that had been following me for a while came up beside me and the guy asked me if I'd just gotten the bike. I said yeah, and he asked where I got it from. Turns out, this guy on the Harley was Paul's (the guy who owned the bike before me) brother. So we chatted a bit and he compliment me on how nice I had it looking, and he roared off. Quite a stretch of a couple days where people just kept coming with compliments for me. So now, I ride on in pride. Wild Hogs!
