Those of you that know Dan know that he is into motorcycles, especially trials riding. Some of you may thing that the headline means this post is about one of his latest riding exploits. Surprisingly, it is not.
Recently, I (Robert) and my family went to a World of Wheels car show in Birmingham, Alabama. This is not our normal family activity, but we went to watch Alex Bedly, an instructor at the Trials Training Center, perform as part of the On The Edge bike stunt team. Alex is an instructor at the TTC and is the son of Catherine Bedley, our administrative assistant. My family and I had a great time. I was even part of the show, unknown to me until the show had started and I was called out to “volunteer”. Check out the 35-second video below. No engineers were harmed in the making of this clip.
