    That veteran is going to love that Spyder - I know, because I had to quit two wheelers (although not for the severe reasons he did) and wanted to continue in the wind, so I am now riding a F3L and am enjoying riding it more than I did two wheelers. It would be great to see a follow up showing him weeks later, enjoying his Spyder too.

    I sent this on to many friends and got the same responses as above. We need a lot of good news to cover up all the negative stuff going on. In many ways, I'm finding this reminiscent of the WWII years. All that's missing are the window flags with red and gold stars.

    I'm too damn emotional to watch extremely sad or happy videos since my eldest son died. I cried for months, I,m getting weepy as I write this. But here's what I wanted ya'll to know...If you cry, and I mean really cry hard, your body will kill bacteria and viruses if you are already infected, I've learned this over the years due to lotsa family losses. So, maybe crying might be the cure for this Corona virus. If you're not all that emotional have someone quite strong HIT YOU IN THE NOSE (very painful), OR KICK YOU IN THE NADS. Not a joke. It might save your life.

    Knowing it was going to be a tear jerker, I told myself I wouldn't cry. But I still did.

    Leno is from old school where a celebrity understands that the world is not all about himself. Thanks for sharing this.
