Denny’s Bike

My Neighbor and friend Denny Hanula passed away this year.

He and I would occasionally go out for a ride, He on his 100 year anniversary Dyna and me on my Sporty. He would follow me around as he just wanted to ride, and didn’t like taking the lead on a ride. LOL

Well after his passing Sandy (His wife) was torn about what to do with his Harley.
 

It is one beautiful bike

Sandy could not bare the thought of a stranger taking the bike.

 

Sandy finally decided to give the bike as a gift to her ex Son-In-Law Craig Ringler.

He was well loved by Denny and when They went out to visit them He and Denny had taken a long ride through the mountains. 

Well he is a good man who has had some struggles that were no fault of his own, And Sandy knew he would love and care for the bike. Sandy said he deserved to be given something.  So She told him to come and pick up his birthday present. She presented him with the title so he could have it home by his Birthday.

   

He showed up on his delivery run to pick up the bike. It just seemed to be meant to be. as the truck he was driving had Denny written on the side.

 

He said the first ride he is going to take will be the same ride he and Denny last took. I wish I could join him, but that is out of my range at this time.

I had never sat on Denny’s bike. So before it left Sandy said I had to get on and take a picture.

  

I am grateful to have known Denny, and am glad that this bike went to someone who Sandy and Denny knew and loved.
