Snatched
from the Jaws of Death
"Something was wrong. As I looked
at the top of the tank bag I realized
there was no ziplock bag and no
passport, registration and insurance
card. Yes, I panicked. I had
that horrible sinking feeling that I was
really in trouble...."
ReCycled
"My buddy schemed to get me involved in
true insanity: Riding a very small bike
with a group of the afflicted in a
one-day blast around Lake Erie. He
was picking up a Honda 125S that
qualified for the middle class, and the
seller just happened to also have
available a cool and cherry ’90 Honda
NS50F which should be great for class

rush hour traffic like a hot knife
through butter! I slowly reeled
Doug in and together we chased
McElfresh...."
It was a Crazy Idea Anyway
"It was now 8:30 at night and with a
mere 90 miles to go I was already
savoring the chance to get warm and eat,
when the bike lost power and started to
backfire and miss..."
Take

"Soon enough, the road demons would
strike me again.s Something in the
front end of the bike had gone a
