‘The Free-Wheel Drive’
‘The Free-Wheel Drive’ The time had finally arrived for us to pick up our new four-wheel ‘All Terrain Vehicle’. It is a sturdy, fine piece of machinery, and we are proud of our ‘bike.' Having never really enjoyed a cabin, boat, skidoo or ATV, it was great for us to have those things to enjoy after returning to Newfoundland to retire in 2000. “Out ‘round da bay ya needs dis stuff!” an elderly gentlemen told me. I believe that to be true, obeying all the environmental laws and exploring our vast land is a wonderful experience. When we arrived home my husband took the bike for a short run and deemed her a good solid machine. So the conversation was ‘all about the bike’ of course. “How many kilometers is on it now?”, I was stunned enough to ask. “Maybe two or three I guess,” he answered with a strange look. “How come?” I persisted, “We drove her home 60 Km from the dealership?” With a glance of utter befuddlement, my husband restrained himself and quietly said “The truck drove the 60KM, the bike was along for the ride! Remember?” Nuff said! I know when to admit defeat! Bonnie Jarvis-Lowe Somewhat stunned!!!!!!!!!! Submitted By: Bonnie Jarvis-Lowe
