Toys for the Big Boys
Saturday, March 14th, 2009Working in a motorcycle business had its own privileges, I guess. I don’t just talk about motorcycles and their makes but I knew a great deal of specifications as well. One time my friends were talking about American Chopper, a reality program in the Discovery Channel that deals with a business creating custom motorcycles when I butt in and eventually caught them in surprise. I hadn’t told them that my new job is a liaison to my big boss.
Cars, big bikes and other gadgets are usually associated with the masculine gender but the knowledge of them doesn’t just go for men. My boss has his own Harley Davidson, his favorite one along with his collections of sport bikes. I should have been very envious of him; he is the bachelor type, good looking, rich and athletic. Not to mention that most of these are given to him for free (except for the Ducati) from our generous suppliers. He is usually out with his buddies doing motocross and all kinds of racing. He’s a perfect daredevil, someone who you can just find the novels or like Batman himself. Sometimes, I feel like I’m the younger Alfred and my boss is Bruce Wayne.
