In reading the latest vague report on Gale's recovery (at least this one was more promising than the last), I made the mistake of also reading the comments by readers. Most of them were directed to Gale and one said:
Although I know Mr. Harold will not read as a fellow biker (since 1978)I would like to welcome you to the "HAVE-HAD" motorcycle riders club. This is an exclusive club for bikers that have had a trip to the hospital because of a wreck on your ride! The world is divided into two types of bikers: Have-Nots and Have-Hads. If you ride a motorcyle long enuf your gonna have a trip to the hospital. Scrapes, bruises, roadrash, and other ouchies/owweees don't count. There must be ambulances, emergency + medical personal involved. So Mr. Gale Howard welcome to the unoffical HAVE-HADS!! Your are now in the brotherhood of the wounded ..WOO HOO! LOL Live to ride and ride to live!
Oh boy! Isn't that a club you want to join! Do you think he knew which "your" to use before his trip?
I'd hit myself in the head but I'm afraid they'd make me an honorary member.
