Robert paced even as he drank his coffee, he could not sit still, I knew I would not see much of him today, he would be fussing over the bike all day. Finally at eight thirty we headed over to the bike shop, we would have to wait but Robert could not hold back, he had to get there.
When the doors opened Robert was out of the car and in the shop in seconds, he did not wait for me to get in with him, I even had to grab his helmet as he had forgotten about it as well. I walked in Robert was admiring the bike he longed to own.
"You're here for the new bike Sir?" The clerk asked him.
Robert was lost in thought of his new motorcycle he did not see or hear anything around him.
"Yes he is, he is a bit mesmerized by it, he has wanted this for so long."I told the clerk.
"I just need a signature from the legal owner and it is yours to drive away." The clerk told us.
"Tom that's me, I am the legal owner where do I sign?" Robert asked him.
Once we were signed off they opened the doors so he could push it out, I handed him his helmet and he started it up, the bike roared to life, Robert reved it up a few times. Sitting there on his brand new bike the man was beaming.
"Be careful drive safe Babe see you at home." I told him as I kissed him.
"Love you Tom." Robert said as he pulled in the clutch and put it in gear.
Robert was gone, I got in my SUV I would meet him at home. Robert was in the drive when I got there.
"Tom put the car away, come for a ride with me, this is so amazing, this bike is like riding on air." Robert said to me.
He and I got on and headed out, he had to go show Eddy his new Bike, Eddy was so impressed with the newer model.
"Pretty sure Lisa will not let me buy a new one with our little one on the way." Eddy said full of envy for Robert.
"Robert man you so deserve this, if there is a man on earth who deserves this more than you do I do not know the man." Eddy said to Robert.
Next we headed to visit Robert's Dad, he had to show him his new bike, he was like a kid with a new toy. Robert parked his bike we headed in to get his Dad, Robert kept looking back to make sure his bike was still there.
We walked in his Dad surprised to see us.
"Dad you have to come see the bike Tom bought for me, it's here, I have it, it's outide." Robert told his Dad.
His Dad so happy for his son, telling him he deserved to have this motorcycle, the man worked and worked with no reward.
"Thank you Tom for being so good to my Son, you are one true gentleman." Roberts Dad said to me pulling me in for a hug.
We tried to get his Dad to get on with Robert to go for a ride but he was to nervous he could fall and hurt himself. Finally he conceeded and decided to get on for a short ride in the parking lot. Watching the two of them on the motorcycle was priceless, I took many pictures of the two of them on the bike.
