I'm a lucky bastahd
The man and his wife who stopped and took this photograph just after my accident, was none other than another Concours rider (Dave Prebble had just done an official Iron Butt Ride across Canada. Front tire dipped in the Atlantic in St John's and then again in Victoria Island a few days later). My brother Jim had just given me those chaps as a gift when he arrived for a visit earlier that summer, on his new Vulcan 1500. Turned out to be the perfect gift. I've since switched to real road pants.
I Iost some meat off my body in two places: the palm of my right hand (through two pairs of gloves), and my right ass cheek. Chaps are fine for cowboys, or at 'certain' clubs, but your ass isn't covered. Cover your ass.
