😊Ephesians‬ ‭6:10‭-‬18‬ ‭Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.😊

My Great grandfather was a rider in Italy. A few KM north of Commachio he hit a garrotte line, fortunately he was 190cm tall. The wire caught him round the chest, threw him off, knocked him out and shattered his kneecap. He survived the war but his old injury shortened his life as surgeries to correct his knee some years later led to an infection, amputation and the once keen hiker lost all lust for life, once his will to live went it wasn't long until he followed.

My old relative was a despatch rider in Normandy for a while. He was taking a message to an unit when another despatch rider in front of him had his head cut off with one of those wires. The headless body and 'bike travelled for a short distance, before falling over and off the road on a bend. My relative survived the war but was turned 'mad' by other things he experianced.

My uncle served in that war as an aircraft technician. Afterwards he acquired a WD16H and rode it till 1971, when his knees and ankles became troublesome. After that he rode a Vespa 150 for 12 years but always recalled the Norton with affection and awe.
