 I
don't know if anyone still remembers Laura Emery. She
had long chestnut brown hair and Bette Davis eyes. She
worked at Dick's Bayside Lounge and she was also my
girlfriend. She decided to go back up north, she was
from NH, but ended up in Nevada. She got in touch with
me a few weeks ago (She found me on Facebook in 2010)
and told me that she met a biker guy in Las Vegas, fell
in love with him and they got married.
The biker fellow went by the name of "Dirt", He had a
1956 HD Panhead that was all tricked out and just loved
his Harley. So much so that he told Laura, "Honey, if I
should die I want to become a part of this motorcycle.
Old Dirt had another Harley too, he was biking home one
night and was hit from behind by a vehicle traveling at
a high rate of speed. Poor old Dirt went to Harley
Heaven. Laura was broken up about the death of her
beloved husband.
The perpetrator was never found. Dirt's Harley was a
total loss. Laura had Dirt cremated and afterward all
she had left was just a couple handfuls of Dirt.
She remembered her husbands wish, and asked one of
Dirt's biker friends to remove the gas tank from the '56
Panhead. She never told me how it was done, however, she
took Dirt's ashes and poured them into the Harley's
frame. She has learned to ride that bike since then and
she said that she is happy to have Dirt between her
thighs again.
If you all think that this is a tall tale I would be
more than happy to give you Laura's address. |
