On the Toys for Tots ride in Currituck NC on Dec 3, 2005, I was walking toward my ride after registering - of course checking out all the rides and saying hello to all the riders.  I came up on this elderly gentleman talking animatedly to some other riders.  When I got closer I was amazed that this man had to be in his 80's at least and had been riding for many years.  He looked happy and strong and fit.  Then I was amazed at what he was telling the younger riders;  "You never see a Harley in front of a Shrinks' office, My doctor told me to quit riding - if it wasn't for riding - I couldn't get out of bed in the morning."  Made me smile and gave me chills.  I knew exactly what he meant.  (Pic of that gentleman is top left shot) I later learned his name is Jessie.
