My Shop Manager rides a Dyna Glide. Very nice bike … well, was and may be again. He had it parked in the drive way next to his daughters car and a drunk came up on the lawn and hit her car so hard it knocked it into his bike and knocked over his bike and did a bit of 5 grand of damage. To his credit, he did not kill the guy (with a .28 BAC) even tho he tried to run.

Well, today we have a few “emergencies” going on and we need to pick up some rotor hammer drill bits up in Sacramento (we are in Rio Vista – so a NICE putt up 160 along the river and today is just PERFECT weather for a ride). I tossed him my key and said “You been looking pretty down the last few weeks since your bike got hit, take a ride up to pick up those bits for us”. The look on his face was first shock, then a huge grin so I had to add “Yeah, it is a metric, so don’t wear your colors.”

He just pulled away. Can’t wait for him to get back and tell me what he thinks. I just hope he does short shift it the whole way like he did leaving.
