Midweek, Dan Ford, was in the Plain Talk, when Norman appeared in our parking lot wearing his brown riding leather jacket and invited us to see his Triumph Bonneville motorcycle. I had ridden a 650 cc Triumph in Miami as a teenager. It was a racing bike owned by my old friend "Flash" Perfumo, so I was interested in Norman's cycle. Dan and I walked outside to see the cycle. It prompted Dan to tell us a story about a Triumph motorcycle that had been bought by his father, Cebo Ford and his brother, Elmer. During the 1920s the Grassy Ford young men bought the cycle but were having trouble getting it to start and run. They got the brilliant idea to hitch their Dad's mule to it. Well, this worked as the Triumph started and bellowed a huge backfire. That scared the dickens out of the mule, still tethered to the cycle. It must have pulled and dragged it eventually destroying the cycle at the bridge not far from Dr. B. Parker Ford's house. "It hit the ground every 50 feet and left Triumph parts for two miles," said Dan. Just Plain Talk- The Triumph of spring [S1] U. S. Social Security Death Index, 414-16-6081.
