There were several groups of Harley riders, and at one of our stops, I struck up a conversation with them. It was a group from Paris France, on rented Harleys, with a chase truck containing their luggage. These guys loved Corvettes, and one of them was taking pictures of my Corvette T-Shirt, which had 3 different Vette's, and he told me the year of each one. Before I knew it, I was riding his Harley! Well then it was his turn, I tossed hin the keys to my Z06! His eyes popped out of his head, and he hopped in with his wife, and took a short ride. He was so thrilled, like a kid in a candy store, smiling from ear to ear.
As it turns out, we talked to a few other groups of bikers, also from France. They said that coming to the USA, renting Harleys and hitting the roads, taking in the sites is the latest rage.
He didn't understand much English, but he know's Corvettes!
His buddies couldn't believe it, as he returns from the drive
Looks like the wife is more excited...
The English speaking Frenchman saying Thanks...
I wasn't expecting this, I guess they were really excited, time for a cigarette, and I don't smoke!

Yeah, anything to get out of France and to enjoy the great freedoms of this country before they slip away and it turns into over there.
That was cool of you to let them drive your car.
