Motorcycles' Medicinal Qualities | The Head Cold

"The ride on the Trident had washed that impenetrable cold—seemingly immune to all the cold remedies at the pharmacy—completely out of his body." (http://www.sportrider.com/features/146_1205_motorcycles_medicinal_qualities/index.html)My inclination toward this column frequently has me meandering through some storied recollection from my past. However, for this issue, I simply had to relate a story borrowed from my older brother’s treasure trove of two-wheeled memories, told to me this past Thanksgiving. After the traditional turkey dinner our family repaired to the living room with requisite tryptophan-induced laziness. My older brother Barry and I got to reminiscing about the good ole days of our carefree youth–which were monopolized by motorized obsessions that spawned a plethora of memorable experiences. After five decades as siblings I thought I’d heard all of his stories. I was wrong. The first thing you need to realize is that my brother is a master storyteller, not content to merely toss out some vagaries and loose facts to recount an event. He revels in painting pictures, creating exacting detail for his listeners. His recollection of a particular incident from his teens was so poignant I just had to share it.
