Is the story I would have been telling all of you, if they had a helmet for me.

But since they didn't, I had to honor a promise I made to my wife and my mother a long time ago that I would never ride without a helmet.

As I threw my leg over the $75,000 + motorcycle I thought to myself, this is going to be so awesome. And then, after I asked where the helmets where and they said "at the hotel" the wind quickly dissappeared from my sails.

I am going to ride the bike in a parking lot tomorrow, so that should be cool, but who knows if I'll get that chance again.

Orange County Choppers built the bike for Sonoco, who built it for JR. I also sat on T - Stew's bike, and Jimmy Johnson's bike, which is way fast apparently.

Oh well, at least I kept my promise. Hope you're happy honey and Mom
