New Pick Up Truck
« on: October 29, 2013, 03:57:40 PM »

Guys I hate to admit this but this was in my parking lot this morning.  Sadly it is one of my employees.  Notice the handicap tag.   :o

When a handicapped man has to resort to selling scrap to make ends meet he is not far from the bottom rung of the ladder. We CVO owners are fortunate to be a few more steps up the ladder and should reflect on our position in life.

Profound Willy! :2vrolijk_21:   I recently came very, very close to being uemployed and had been through a number of interviews.  Who wants to higher a 62 year old that's at the top of his pay scale.  It was very scarry and very close as my current project closes escrow today....tomorrow is my last day of work here.  Fortunately for me, my company is buying a large project on Coronado Island, it'll be a full renovation and I'm transferring down there.  Who wouldda thunk I'd end up in Coronado Island?  If you've never been there, it's heaven on earth and no place else like it in the US except maybe Key West......we just don't get the storms that Key West gets.  Perspective is everything!

Speaking of handicapped.....what happened to the poor guy that was riding the lawnmower at point of impact.  Perspective is everything.

My question is how a handicap man got it in there????

The International Symbol of Access (wheelchair) doesn't necessarily mean wheelchair bound, "handicapped", or unable to lift.  It is intended for people with mobility limitations, which of course includes wheelchairs and prosthetics and other issues.

I am a Disabled Vet, and thank God I am not in a wheelchair, nor do I require crutches or a cane at this time.  After a broken neck and injured hip on active duty, however, I am only good for a 100 meters or so before pain sets in.  It's a real bummer shopping with the wife, because I have to take a break every so often.

It took me a while to get over the pride thing, but I put in for access plates.  I will be getting my "wheelchair" plate for my CVO here in a few days.  As incongruous as a "handicapped" plate on an Ultra may look, it's not the riding that hurts, but the trip into and back from the store that's a bit@h.

Besides, most people refer to Ultras as Geezer Glides anyway.

As OP said - we are indeed fortunate to be able to ride such nice bikes.  I wake every day and thank God that I can still sling my leg over the saddle.

Not to scold anyone in the least, just to say that an access plate doesn't always mean "crippled" - heck it might not even be for him.  You can put them on any vehicle - so long as the person that the plate is intended for is present when parking in an access spot.  And by the way, feel free to shoot anyone using the plate when the recipient is not in the vehicle.    Saw a cop ticket a young lady for just that, and it was great :P

Best Regards,

Mark
