Well Worth the Wait
Now a word from Cruiser Customizing member Keith Drury (keith52), a Brit rocker who began riding back in the days of the Ace Café and Brighton Beach. From across the puddle, Keith writes:
Cruising Rocker Keith Drury has kept his love for riding alive since
the days of Quadraphenia. Now back in the saddle despite a serious knee
injury, Keith is the East Yorkshire rep for the National Association
for Bikers with Disabilities.
Mellow in yellow: the Intruder is a formidable machine, and with Keith’s mods it turns heads.
“Well, it’s been a long rime since I’ve been in the saddle and,
Boy, does it feel good to be alive!” Keith injured his leg in ’75,
eventually having his leg fused at the knee. It made riding difficult,
nearly impossible, but where there’s a will there’s a way, and Keith is
a man of will. Keith couldn’t shake his love for riding, so a few years
ago, Keith found himself haunting the bike shops once again, and a
Suzuki Intruder became the pride of his life. Keith joined NABD,
England’s National Association for Bikers with Disabilities,
which helped him find a suitable thumb brake. Keith says, “I’m now an
East Yorkshire representative for NABD and spreading the word!” Cruise
on, Keith! We salute your bravery and that of your fellow NABD riders
of Great Britain.
Cruise and be happy,
Miles Davis, (Pavandas)
