Gordon:  My senior year of high school, 1972, the last day before graduation... my friend picked me up outside of school on his Norton Commando.  He proceded to ride with me hanging on for dear life, up the loading dock ramp, through the doors and into the hall.

  I went to a large school with over 2500 kids at the time. The school footprint was a large rectangle. He rode right around the rectangle, stopping in front of the Principal's office. He sat there reving the engine with oily exhaust and loud backfireing going on.... then burned out with the rear end drifting right and left leaving a big black line of burned tile and rubber right in front of the main entrance!  We both had half helmets and glasses on. As we rounded the 3rd corner of the rectangle heading for the doorway, I looked back and could only see thick black smoke!  We got away clean, down the ramp and out on to the street. 

   Right after that, a kid whos parents owned a meat distributor for restaurants and groceries, let about 30 live chickens go right inside the front entrance.... Our prank fell off the radar screen as all of the office folks chased the chickens around the school for hours.  lol!!! One of my favorite motorcycle stories!
