Well...I didn't do any repairs or modifications this week for the first time in months. I met up with two good friends of mine, Ellen and Andy, who took me out for a fantastic Italian lunch to celebrate my 60th birthday. I drove Ellen around in the Deuce and she was great. Most women don't even want to go near it. Ellen, who is only about 5'2", enthusiastic, and fun to be around climbed right in. The bouncy ride and the whistler noise didn't bother her in the least. We were having a full conversation at 50mph! Ellen even wanted to shift the gears for me as I was running down the road. Didn't happen. Safety first. Great company. Terrific food. And driving my Deuce. A perfect birthday celebration.
