Scott,Love the story. My mom used to take a ride on every new motorcycle I bought. If she lived closer I am sure she would enjoy riding in my 65.
I couldn't get my mom on my motorcycle if I begged her. I remember her and I being in my car with me stretching the gears slowly just watching her till she started tapping on the dash and pushing on a brake on her side that wasn't there. I'd laugh and she would say, you were doing that on purpose, in that heavy German accent, in half German and English. Of course I was!! There are a few things in this world money can't buy and one of them is a son or daughters love for their mother, but you already knew that!!!.... Ulli
