I did the interview with the guys at Chopper Works. It was great.
At first I was really nervous…no actually I was scared shit-less. You know stage fright scared, the kind of fear people have when they have to give a public speech. I was looking for any excuse not to go and do the interview. I often get this sort of fear when I try anything new. That’s why it took me 2 years, after I originally set the goal, to take the motorcycle-riding course. I find that if I push through the fear and do it anyway, it turns out to be a good and enriching experience.
My nervousness disappeared as soon as I entered the shop. The brothers are about my age so we had a lot in common. They gave me the grand tour of the show room and the shop operations. All very cool. They had me sit on one of their $65K bikes (see photo). If it’d been spring, they’d have let me take on for a ride…bummer.
Now, all I have to do is finish writing the article, do some follow up, polish the article some more, put it away for a few days, then go back and re-write it until it sparkles. I’m working on this article as my lynchpin to many other articles. I hope that some of them will involve travel.
