American Bikers: Hard working, hard playing, above all, honest, trustworthy.

For ABM, twice this rally, biker honesty was put to the test.  Both times, we won!

Case #1:

One of ABM's bros left his GOLD watch near the bathroom shower stall.  A few hours later, as he prepared to head for Sundance, Wyoming, blood drained out of his head when suddenly, the reality of the whereabouts of his expensive timepiece dawned.  Running into the bathroom, he was flabbergasted as he picked up the watch, in exactly the same spot where it had been left, despite probably 20 or more people had used the facility after him.

Case #2:

ABM's intrepid interview guru, "Sandi" was bouncing around the Buffalo Chip campground after a hard day of gathering sound clips for American Biker Minute.  Arriving at the campsite, her face turned to an "ashen" shade of gray (or grey?) when she gazed at the open zipper of her sissy bar's tour bag.  The field recorder, microphone, and all the other stuff was missing!  Frantically retracing her ride from the dollar hot dog and dollar beer pit, she spotted her hair brush laying in the dirt, and stopped to ask if anyone had seen her solid state recorder, and mike.  Sure enough, a kind biker pointed her to a group of campers gathered around a tent, under a friendly shade tree.  When asked, they proudly presented her with the missing mike, recorder, and over 100 interview files, without which, we would have been royally screwed.  As the group holding our valuables hailed from Canada, I guess we'll have to include Canadian bikers in the group of North America's most trusted, honest, individuals. 

Where else in the non-biker world could you associate with people this absolutely caring, honest, and trustworthy?  No where I know of, and I've been halfway around this damm world. 

Until our next blog, "Biker On"!
