Happy News from the Folks

Dad wrote with some good news:

I am happy to announce that on March 14, 2009 my wife (Pat) took possession of her first Harley. We purchased her a 2009 Dyna Low Rider from Ozark H-D in Lebanon, MO. It is black & chrome with a windshield and some rockin’ Vance & Hines staggered Dual exhaust.

It is going to cost us a fortune in dental expense to keep the bugs cleaned off her teeth because we can’t get the grin off her face.

Let me bore you with a little history. I first met Pat in 1974 during her high school graduation. At the time I owned a 1972 Sporster all chopped & chromed out for a show bike. I’m not sure who she took the initial shine to me or the bike, but who cares. As it turned out whatever her original intentions she has journeyed on a 34-year love affair with me and my Harley’s that I wouldn’t have planned any other way if I had it to do all over again.

So join me in congratulating my partner and say a little prayer that she will have years of safe riding and fun with all our Harley friends.

So to the Love of my life I always say paint & chrome I can replace or live without… just bring you home safe to me.

I'd also like to add that I grew up hearing, "I would have driven Larry's Sportster, but his Low Rider is just too big for me." Looks like she finally grew up. Congratulations, Mom!
