LET'S SEPARATE THE MEN FROM THE BOYS
One summer day my friends and I went for a ride up to Gillette Castle .We had a greet ride up every one enjoyed the day so fare. When we started to go back home some how we picked up a new rider. Which was ok with all of us we all like to meat new people to ride with. We all stopped for lunch next to the Goodspeed Opera house. When we sat down to order are food our new found friend said lets get a pitcher of beer. Well I said normally we don't drink and ride but a guess if we are having some food one beer would be all rite. In the middle of eating our new found friend order a another pitcher of beer. I said to him no more for me and so did some of my friends. Our new found friend said (well we will separate the men from the boys) and had some more beer. When riding the rest of the way home are new found friend's bike had some smoke coming out from the engine. So one of the riders pulled up to let him know about the smoke. After he was told about the smoke instead of pulling over too look at the bike. He decided to look at were the smoke was coming from with out stopping. This was not a good idea when looking down at his bike and the road. The bike went down parts and black smoke went all over the road. The bikes behind him, which I was one of, some how missed him and his bike parts. We stopped to see how bad he and his bike were. He was banged up but nothing was broke. The bike I though was not in riding condition but our new found friend didn't agree .The cops came and gave him a ticket and said “We wouldn't ride another foot with him”. I said to him well “I guess you were right”. “What do you mean” and he replied. “We did separate the men from the boys” I told him. We then continued our ride home without him. This kind of new found friend I don't need.
