To the teenage boy at The Beanery tonight (Thurs., May 8): Kid, you made my night.

I was in the Ural’s saddle, about to start the bike and get it warmed up. A teenage boy walked over to the car to the right of me, opening it up to set his guitar inside.

He closed the door, and spent a few seconds just looking over my forest green Ural Patrol. Then he looked at me and said, “That’s the coolest motorcycle I’ve ever seen.”

Thanks, kid.
