OK, let’s get the burning question out of the way… what do turkey feathers have to do with motorcycle riding? Well as the story goes… I was riding in a very remote part of the West Virginia Alleghenies in January doing the twisties, running along rivers and traversing some very cold passes. So riding down along the rivers where the chicken and turkey farms are located, I came around a curve to confront an eighteen wheeler hauling turkeys to market. In his slip steam a wave of turkey feathers wafted along. I took an early breath to pass through the cloud of feathers fl itting by and tried not to wave my arms or do anything else foolish. |
