Default It's proven to be true all these years.

Been riding Harley's for 39 years now and been working in a profession that keeps me on the road for the better part of the year for about 15 years.

Since joining this forum I have met several from here and have been treated like an old friend. I've had countless drinks bought for me, been given a bike to ride (something I never thought I would do), and shared allot of laughs and even a couple of tears.

I'm parked in Maybrook N.Y. for a few days and went over to OCC to see my friend Pat (he's their transportation guy). After he got off work he took myself and another driver out and got us good-N-drunk and made sure we got back to our trucks in one piece.

I've met thousands when I've been riding at rally's, races, or just out for a putt and that's great but it's different when you are not riding and still the camaraderie is there with otherwise total strangers.

Ya I'm still a little "Tipsy" right now and getting a bit more "Soupy" than I normally would but just wanted to reiterate what I've always believed. That belief is........

SCOOTER PEOPLE IS GOOOOOOD PEOPLE.

Thanks for listening and good night.

It's called psychological reciprocity. You're good to people, people are good to you. It's a reflection on you as much as anything else.
