Bikes Bring People Together
Posted 01-19-2012 at 07:09 PM by Cawoonache
This is my first blog entry. I just registered here at wristtwisters, on the recommendation of a fellow I don't even know. I will explain. My wireless router recently went tits up, and I had to buy a new one. I was having some difficulty getting it configured so I phoned the tech support line for my Internet service provider, and was connected to Mike.
Mike was friendly and helpful in assisting this old digital immigrant to get back online. The process involved several re-boots of a few different computers which gave us time to converse. During the course of the conversation the subject of motorcycles came up, and we were instantly connected. Mike told be all about his Honda 919, an awesome ride, and one I have admired since Big Red began bringing them stateside. Then Mike told me about the 919 he bought wrecked and is re-buildng for his wife. A very cool thing to do. There is BIG karma in resurrecting a crashed bike. Rather than letting it rust away in some junkyard or in someone's barn, he is breathing new life into a great machine that will soon help to bring he and his wife closer together. Who wouldn't admire that?
As we ended our call Mike mentioned this website as a great place to meet like-minded folks. I am looking forward to doing just that. And Mike, if you happen to read this, thanks for all your help and for pointing me to this website.
