So I'm out riding with a few bonnie riders today and we are sitting at a gas station waiting for one to catch up. In pulls a brand new Special edition Daytona 675 - black/gold. This guy walks about 150 feet over to our group and asks if we need gas?? We kinda give him the go away weirdo look. He says no its free I'm buying? So we say sure, why not? He hands us his business card - Jim Callahan it says. He's working and has to ride the 675 for 500 miles so they can hand it over to a magazine for testing. Turns out he's got a Credit card and John Bloor's picking up the tab for our fuel. Says Bloor is flying into ATL next week and we ask if he will be riding in the mountains. Jim says no he flys everywhere by helicopter, he doesn't ride. Jim also told us a very wealthy triumph rider from Alabama is funding the thruxton cup series this year since triumph seem to be lacking any interest. So he buys fuel for 3 of us hops on the 675 takes off down the road. Real nice guy - actually meet him once before at a rat raid at deals gap in 04. Tough job Jim has - having to work on a sunny 75 degree Sunday and all, using Mr Bloors credit card for all his expenses.
I'm thinking about a career change.
