Dean M. Cole2014 Galveston Lone Star Motorcycle Rally
My ‘Choppers’
Many of my readers only know me as an author who flies ‘choppers’ for his day job, but you may not know I build and ride them, as well.
I finished the baby pictured above in June 2008. A few months later, she made her Galveston Lone Star Motorcycle Rally debut, and she’s still going strong in 2014. It’s almost time for this year’s rally. Look for Donna and me there November 7-9.
Save us a parking space … a really long parking space with plenty of turning room. That rake allows for the turning radius of a Mack truck … but it looks good doing it. Hey, I never said it was practical.
When you see that ten-foot-long yellow chopper with my beautiful wife, Donna, behind my ugly mug, give us a yell. If you can’t remember my name, just yell out, “Hey you, author!”
Hope to see you there.
