<\/a><\/p>\nAnd I intended to write about that. HOWEVER, Yours Truly, en route back to base camp Youngstown (KOA), decided to splurge and have some wings and a cold beverage at Applebee\u2019s, City Of Niagara. And as a result, today\u2019s entry shall honor Beckie, who orchestrated a series of events that were a sight to behold, each of which benefited the goal of Cancer Ride America to raise funds to fight cancer. I promise to tell you about Niagara Falls later. It, too holds its\u2019 story and how I became involved with the police and the crew of the Maid Of The Mist. But like I said, more later on that.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo this old biker walks into a bar with a swagger, sits down and orders a beer, and has ‘the look’ – “who here has the stones to ask me?\u201d The patrons fall silent and stare at the gray-haired helmet toting guy. His grizzled features betray thousands of hard miles on his bike and his steel eyes penetrate those who dare stare back.<\/p>\n
And then Beckie walks up, looks into those eyes and coldly says \u201cwhat\u2019ll you have?\u201d as bold as can be. And then, \u201cSo where you from?\u201d \u201cSeattle!! What The Heck Are You Thinking?? That’s a long ways away!\u201d<\/p>\n
