This is the vest I recieved from a friend in Nova Scotia, Tequila Sheila. I had it given to me before I went to Slay the Dragon, and it was to put all my pins and patches on along the way.I have my Canadian flag on one side and American on the other. All the pins and patches from the coold stops I went and all the states I stopped in. Some were from friends and some I bought. Right along the top of the pockets I had my conga bracelet sewed above each pocket. There is also a VILR patch and a WWR patch sewn close together. There will never be club patches sewn on this vest. It is a memory of mine that is very near and dear to me of a trip of a life time, that brought so many women close together. Sheila if you are reading this, thankyou very much, and I do hope to meet you in person one day. Anything is possible I have found. You are a very kind and thought person to send a complete stranger such a wonderful gift, and I am sorry it took me so long. I just got all the patches sewn on today. Big hugs.. My next task is to order pics and fill up my lovely photo album I got from another friend, I have never met in person.
So I said to him... The only way I would learn to like it is I was doing the driving, and I was far too old for that!! His eyes lit up, and said no it isn't....You take the course and I will buy you your first bike. So I took the course... with Barry Pepper I might add! I think the course was my first scariest challange in life. I failed the riders the first time. Hubby still bought me my huge Honda Rebel 250. I remember that day. There was the Honda250 and a Shadow 750 side by side. It was my choice as to which one, and I chose the little one...lol Rob and I road around as much as we could together before fishing season began. He goes away all summer commercial fishing. That summer he asked my brother if he would feel comfortable riding his roadstar. Course Carl looks at him and says..ya man, why??? Told him its yours for the summer!!!! There is only one stipulation....My woman has got to be riding beside ya all the time. She needs some confidence... That was the beginning of the end...lol What a man!!!!!!!! Didn't take long to build up the confidence and 3 months later, I was buying a 750 Shadow. So course now we got bro hooked on riding. What's he gonna do when Rob comes back and has to give his bike back. yup!! He picked himself out his Big Red Shiny VTX 1800. 3 months later he finds me a vtx 1300 to match his. We have had so much fun playing. Now the only trouble is when I travel with Rob he is always in the Harley Dealerships (forgot to mention he traded the roadstar for a Softail) No problem, but kinda boring and I can never find nothing for my VTX in a Harley Dealership. Carl and I had made a promise to each other we would keep these bikes untill we could afford a Harley and buy them together. But then along came bro Eric wanting to ride. Bingo!! Blingo let me off the hook and Blinga got sold to BigE! Now I can go Harley shoppin with my man!!! Soon as this trip is over and he gets back from fishing... It's all good!!!
