2009 Rev My Harley Contest Winner

     The Story:

Title:

Magic Carpet

Description:

Her name is Magic Carpet…she is a 1988 Harley Davidson low rider…one of the best they built. He bought it brand new and she has been to Sturgis and back twice. Oh the stories she could tell. And I don’t mean she was trailored because he would never even think of it…they rode together all the way and always came back in one piece. For the last 9 years since moving back to Ohio , due to finances and circumstance, she has been sitting in the corner of the garage waiting to be ridden, started anything….just needing some attention.. I am John’s sister. He taught me to ride. I bought my first Sporty with his help. We rode to Sturgis together. Blew up the Sporty after boring out the engine to a 1200 and riding hard with the “big boys”. Came home and traded her in for a 1995 Dyna Low Rider (which he helped me pick out) and I am still riding her 14 years and 60,000 miles later. She has been to Sturgis too…with him and Magic Carpet. Best trips of our lives. I know that every time he sees me on my bike enjoying a beautiful Ohio summer day, the envy and pain of knowing she sits there waiting…is unbearable sometimes. He Threatens to take her into the shop and get her fixed but cannot fathom where to come up with that kind of money to get her fixed. He talks to mechanics who tell him to bring it by and we’ll take a look but he cannot even find a truck to put her on to get her to that destination. It breaks his heart! What a great birthday in July for him to have a chance to ride her again!!!
