Also on the subject of using your hands was Calgary contributor Greg Williams’ inspiring and spirit-lifting column entitled “Tinkering through self-isolation,” a first-person account of his escape into his garage to resurrect, in his words, “a Triumph rigid-frame machine that is being built the hard way from a pile of parts that weren’t ever originally together.”
The accompanying photo, of Greg sitting in his wheelchair beside one of his old motorcycles, really resonated with me. Not because I didn’t know he was a paraplegic – I’ve known the story about the aftermath of his bike wreck since it happened 15 years ago – but because of his indomitable spirit under COVID-19 restrictions and how his column underscored that working on and fixing old machines is great for the soul.
