As far as the Zen part I did talk to a couple really nice older gentlemen both riding newer roadsters. Both bikes were black, my favorite color and they showed up for different service related reasons. Both guy's were well into they're 70's and I got to spend some time swapping stories with them while we waited. I was a little hacked off about having to wait so long to get mine done but the conversation was well worth it. That my friends is why I ride!!! The stories they shared with me were fantastic! Telling me about all the classic old bikes they have ridden over the years, it made the whole wait worth it.
I hope to live that long and share some stories with somebody in a motorcycle shop some day, I have goals. When I left it was raining out and you could not have wiped the smile off my face with a ball bat!!!
Happy Friday every one....
