The Other Side Of Tommy ThompsonJune 25, 2007
Presidential Candidate Tommy Thompson seems like a real stiff, right? He's the guy in the Republican debates with the deep voice... the one who seems like he doesn't have a sense of humor. You know... he's one of the five guys you always forget when you try to remember who's running for President. A real square? Not entirely true.
An American highway... the roar of an engine! A man in a vest and leather pants blazes through the summer heat. The wind sweeps his flowing, aging hair. His revs his Harley one more time. He's gone. Meet the other Tommy Thomspon - Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame Inductee 2002.
The tribute to Thompson on the Motorcycle Museum's website calls him, "The obvious ‘natural’ for the (Hall of Fame)... an avid supporter of motorcyclists... (he worked to) make certain anti-motorcycle legislation was kept off the books.... (he made) the Governor’s Motorcycle Tour an annual event.... Secretary Thompson frequently expresses his love of Wisconsin and motorcycling by saying, 'Wisconsin, where eagles soar and Harley’s roar.'"
Before now, I only knew him as the man who spent four years as the Secretary of Health and Human Services and did nothing to further the Importance of Breakfast in America. Now I know him as a motorcycle madman... who did nothing to further the Importance of Breakfast in America.
Bikers knew the other side of Tommy Thompson all along. To quote the bikers in the video below, "(Thompson is) a true biker... a true friend of bikers.... (he) Isn't just a biker... (he) wants to get rid of some of the crap going around...."
