Yesterday was a bit different. A truck driver had backed his truck to the dock and then walked over toward the shop. One of the overhead doors was open. He saw the motorcycles and seemed to be drawn to a couple of Harleys in the shop.
We started talking and he told me he was from Sweden and had ridden a Harley around the world. After a while he went to his truck and brought back a copy of a magazine article with photos of his Harley chopper he had ridden and some photos the places he had been. I stumbled through the article, picking up a few words. I realized that this guy was not only a motorcycle rider, but was a world class skier.
While I lived in California, I couldn't get enough skiing, so I had to ask him about his skiing. We talked about that for a while and a few other things.What an adventure his life has been. He has went 198.8 kph on skis (123.5 mph). Skied for the Swedish national team, traveled the world and stopped by my shop. Not bad.
Benny is on the roof. Now that is the way to travel.
