Years ago I built custom bikes as a side line income. I had completed a very extensive 2 year build and a friend and I rode our custom bikes to the local hangout for show and tell. We parked, went in and got our drinks going out into the corral where we were a few feet from the parked bikes. A guy was sitting side saddle on my just completed custom using my still hot handmade exhaust system as a footrest. I nearly had a stroke. My buddy, who was an ex marine and a prison guard, vaulted the fence picked the guy off my bike and hurled him 10 feet into the middle of the street. The guy got up and saw us both coming and ran for his life. He got away down a river bank. The exhaust had to be stripped, polished and rechromed. Now I prominently display a well worn 45 auto holster on the bike. Have gun will travel.
