When I bought my bike (from a dealer), nobody asked me if I could ride, had ever ridden or, if I had a license. I thought that was pretty odd. They let me get on and ride away without a mention at all.

Such a sad story and it really doesn't explain what happened that drove him into the trailer axles. His wife sounds like a very courageous woman however. God bless his family.

Although she let him know she wasn't for him having one for all those years, at least she understands he was happy up until it happened.

Training '60's style:

"Front brake, right hand, try not to use it. Clutch, left hand. Rear brake, left foot, right foot, one down three up. Enjoy, have fun."

And then the drama when the left side shift became standard. Some survive, some don't.
