ello Chapter J,
Can you believe summer is almost
over? School is starting; trees will
start changing, and the mornings will feel
much cooler (hopefully, this has been a very
warm summer). It is time to get ready for
those cooler days and get our cold weather
gear out. One of the best things to do is
dress in layers. This gives you the
advantage of being prepared for those cold
mornings, than removing layers as the day
warms up. This may sound a little early to
start talking about cold weather riding but it
will be here before you know it. I just
returned from working in Maine, the morning
temps were in the 40s, we are not far
behind. So folks, just something to think
about as the summer comes to an end.
Ride Safe,
Al and Jackie

Lending a helping hand
H
i Chapter J, I had to work a week of
12 hour days in August and my Wing
was in the shop for routine service.
It was around 7:15 on a Friday evening the
24th and I was on my way with my trailer to
pick up my Wing after a long day when I
spotted a man on I-97 between Annapolis
and Crofton pushing his Harley in the
median strip. I was in the right lane and
could not get over as the traffic was terrible.
So I decided to get my Wing and felt he
would already be taken care of on my return
south on I-97. I was wrong when I got to the
same spot where I saw him he was talking
to two other Harley riders on the south side
and again I was in the wrong lane to assist.
So I went down to Annapolis and turned
around to come back. When I got to the
median he was talking with a friend who had
come with his pickup truck to haul his Harley
to his residence but his loading ramps were
cable locked with no key. He had a flat front
tire. I asked if he needed a transport and he
said please. His name was Timmy and lived
only 10 minutes away in Glen Burnie. I said I
would be glad to transport his Harley if he
would ride my Wing and he said you have a
deal. He was ecstatic and could not believe
that someone would go out of their way to
help in this manner. He was amazed at the
smooth and quiet ride of my Wing with so
many miles on it. He offered to pay and I
said no just pay it forward and help
someone else. He also said the other two
Harley riders were also broke down and I
said if they are still there I will offer my
assistance. By this time it was dark but I
knew where they were so I stopped and
offered the same assistance. Again they
could not believe that someone would do
this. When I stopped they made a comment
that my truck looked like the one that had
just helped the other man and I said I did.
This guy’s name was Ritchie and they were
from New Jersey on their way to a wedding
the next day in Annapolis and his Harley just
died.
He said several police had passed and
never even stopped to assist. So I
transported his Wing to Annapolis Harley
Davidson shop ten minutes away and then
gave him a ride to a hotel for the night.
Again they asked to pay and I said just pay it
forward.
I finally got home at 10:00.
This was an enlightening experience and I
felt good about it.
I was in the right place at the right time.
See you later on some rides.
Ride often & ride safe.
