After losing his wife Barbara to cancer, 72-year-old Vietnam veteran faced targeted vandalism of his Harley Electra Glide during her funeral in Cedar Hills, a “respectable” community opposed to his biker lifestyle. The move to the neighborhood six months prior sparked tension when HOA president Howard Parkman enforced rules against visible motorcycles, clashing with Barbara’s and the narrator’s defiance. Post-funeral, he found his bike toppled with “BIKER TRASH GET
OUT” scrawled on it, suspecting Howard and neighbors who’d feigned sympathy. Despite the damage, he rode home, vowing to uncover the culprit, warning Howard of his relentless resolve. Shaken but unbroken, he clings to his identity. Would you confront the community, seek justice, or sell the bike to ease tensions? Share your thoughts on his next move.
