It probably seemed the right thing to do at the time Ken.... Sometimes even I have been chivalrous. Man that was a long time ago. 30ish years... Wish we could still find new friends willing to hop on for a long road trip on almost a moment's notice. Youth may not have been smarter but it was a hell of a lot simpler.
I can't even remember for sure which of the many old rattle trap relics I was riding then. Might very well have been a hardtail. Gawd, I don't blame the girl for wanting off.....
Had to have been the bike though. Couldn't have been me
