Bill and his motorcycle ... a story of sorts



Here are a couple of photos of Bill and his 3-wheel motorcycle and trailer rig, one with him and one without. Bill is an incredible human being and I count myself fortunate in the extreme to have him as one of my best friends. We are planning to enter this rig in the Fairbanks Golden Days Parade next year—in July of 2012. He'll drive the motorcycle and I'll ride on the power scooter on the trailer.

Who knows ... we might make it!

And yes, that is an oxygen hose hanging on his ears. He needs oxygen 24/7, and has for several years.

By the way, one of my greatest adventures was driving his Ford Econoline Van pulling another trailer, with that 3-wheel motorcycle on it, all the way from New Port Ritchey/St. Petersburg, Florida, (Tampa Bay) to North Pole, Alaska, in 2006.
