Back in 72 I had leave between US Army basic training at Ft Polk La, and pilot training at Ft Wolters TX. I rode my old shovel head Harley from my home in Las Vegas to Mineral Wells Tx. Then I found out that riding motorcycles was a disqualifing factor for helicopter training. The throttle on the TH55 worked in reverse as a motorcycle. I was lucky I was able to hide the bike and keep the secret. Still ride.
