Ok, everyone is asking why the name “Bubblewrap”… :P
Back in 2006 I took a little joy ride around the Western United States and stopped in Odessa, Texas before heading straight to Jackson, Mississippi.
The ride was just less than 800 miles from Odessa to Jackson and it took me about maybe 10 to 12 hours to do it. Now when I got to Jackson MS I went straight to the Harley Shop and saw the Owner and let him know I had did my first Harley Road Trip and made it back on my own.
He says “great, we leave at 8am for Odessa Texas at 8am tomorrow” for the Air Show. I told him I had just got in from there and my but was still sore. He said that I could go or stay home it was up to me.
Well as we pulled into Fort Worth Texas my butt was really sore and I went into the store and ask the young lady there if they happen to have any “bubblewrap” and she said yes they had just got a fragile shipment in and handed me a bunch of it.
I took it to my Harley and attached it to my seat to help with the soreness and the Harley Shop Owner dubbed me AKA Bubblewrap.
The whole group was laughing and cracking jokes about my putting it on my seat and saying what a Wuss I was but about four came to me and said, that was the smartest thing any of them had ever seen and if I did not take care of my own ass, no one else would.
Many of the guys in the run to Odessa said that of all the names given out to a Rider my was the coolest due to it not having anything to do with something "dumb or stupid and these two names where already taken" which is how most got their Harley Riding names to began with...Wink
I will see about getting the photo they took and posting it.
