Default Look BOTLs I made the news

A little while ago I was getting fitted for a super rehab bike by an organization that wanted to start giving bikes to wounded warriors. During the fitting a news crew was there and they found the sexiest looking guy there and then asked the goofball in the helmet next to him some questions. Anyone looking to laugh at me on film here it is: http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/9661017/ Good news is though it looks like some funding has come from the story and my bike is ordered.

Sweet! I've seen some people in my area using these type of bikes. Don't know if they are vets, but the improved mobility is awesome.

I am so not going to mention that by riding in the rain that you effectively wet your pants. No, I am so not going to do that...

Great news, Frank.
Thanks for sharing and you'll get no laughter from me at your expense.

I met the guys that run the wounded warrior project, great guys and a good thing they do. Some of the best damn people you'll ever meet.

Great video, but like Peter you'll get no laughs from me.

The reporter had the helmet on backwards and I stopped her and had her have another take. Should have left it as it was but I was being nice. Fun time and some funding has already shown up. A big ride is being put together in Nov and I am sure there will be more goofballery on camera for that.

Is his name James or Jason? It says Jason in the article and James in the news report. Either way it was great to see you guys mobile again. Even if that helmet did look a little silly sitting stationary. Just kidding brother.

Sorry I should have specified. I meant the guy who they mention at the beginning. Frank, the brother here, is the guy in the red helmet who is the second soldier to talk right?

I enjoyed the story. I couldn't play the video, but I did see some handsome devil of a man riding a gorgeous bike in a photo.
