The Motorcycle Ride

Sitting around a round table with my 16yr old son and a large group of Hells Angels type motorcyclists. They were instructing him in the lore of their lifestyle and he was mesmerised. Outside was a huge group of Harley-Davidsons glistening in the sun.
I went outside leaving them to chat.
A German friend was waiting for me outside with his Harley-Davidson, driven by his 6 month old son and he was riding pillion. A large horizontal frame type sidecar at right angles to the machine was for me to lie on.
The total width of the combination was thus around 10 feet.
I lay down and we set off, feeling perhaps a trifle anxious.
But I soon fell asleep as we rolled along the sunny, dusty road. Bliss.
