Biker Thwarts Girl's Suicide

Biker Shows 'Soft Side'

“ On January 9th, a group of Pekin, Il bikers were riding west on I-74 when they saw a girl about to jump off a Peoria bridge, so they stopped.   The leader, George, a big burly man of 53, gets off his bike, walks through the gawkers, past the State Trooper, and says, "What are you doing?"   "I'm going to commit suicide," she says.   While he didn’t want to appear "sensitive," he didn't want to miss a be-a-legend opportunity either, so he asked... "Well, before you jump,why don't you give me a kiss?"   So, with no hesitation at all, she leaned back over the railing and did just that.  And it was a long, deep, lingering kiss, followed immediately by another one.   After she's finished, George gets approval from his group, theonlookers, and even the State Trooper. Then he says, "Wow! That was the best kiss I have ever had, Honey! That's a real talent youare wasting, Sugar Shorts. You could be famous if you rode with me. Why are you committing suicide?"   She replied, "My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl" ”    Tim W
