Back when I was in high school in the late 70's I got some rides on the back of some friends(guys) bikes. Back then it was no big deal to just go for a joy ride or beer run, and when I bought my Norton I would give rides to guys that had just wanted to see what it was like or just needed a ride somewhere. Depending on who it is I will still do that.
But this year I had a non riding Brother ask me for a ride. He is battling the big C. Terminal. I asked another Brother to get some guys up to ride with us. My Brother was not supposed to ride that day because his blood counts were WAY off, but he knew time was short and went anyway. We had a great ride in the rain! And you could not get the smile off his face even after the ride.
I was off the road today(trucker) luckily, I wont get into what happened. I hope he awakes for Thanksgiving.
If you have a bud that want's a ride on your Harley, Just ****in do it. If anyone gives you ****, tell them I said to **** OFF!

EDIT: I want to leave this on a good note.
Cook up some Brats and have a beer for my Brother

R.I.P. Brother, You put up one hell of a fight!

I escorted my Brother on my Harley from the funeral home to his final resting place on Sunday.
It was my best ride ever because I was able escort my Brother to his final resting place.

Life is short.
Run it wide open and crack open beer.

Man, I lost my grandfather the day after this. Sorry for your loss, and you did something amazing. I'd do anything for one last sit down with my grandfather. Your brother sure as hell cherished that ride. You can see it all over his face. You did an amazing thing.

Who gives a **** what others think. When your a kid letting peer pressure dictate what you think and do isn't good but its understandable. As an adult we should be ashamed of ourselves for allowing what others think dictate how we live our lives.
