Coming back from Charlotte with Sheldon after Mikes funeral, we're traveling the WVa turnpike and pass a couple motorcycles. We stop at a plaza for a break, and as we're coming out - there are the motorcycles. I look, and look. One of them is a Honda Ruckus. A RUCKUS!! "Where are going?" I ask. "Denver" he answered. DENVER? On a Ruckus? "I figure I'll do about 600 miles today." (?????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) "Tomorrow I hope to do 1000!" I ask if he's going to document it for a SaddleSore 1000. He said yes. WOW! I said good luck, and started walking back toward the car. STOP-TURN AROUND. I had to shake his hand. Anyone that can do 1000 miles on a Ruckus in a day is - NUTS.
