How the brain lies
back in the mid 70's the Honda 750 was a pretty strong cycle! Today a 750 is like a toy..
Dean pictured here was riding North Bound and a state dump truck pulled right out in front him---the bike was prob doing 55mph.
I knew a younger boy that the same thing happened and he stuck to the side of the truck---he lived, but he had only past memory and little to no current memory--in that each day, he pretty much forgot the day before (like 50 first dates movie)
With Dean, he flew over the top of the dump truck---otherwise he surely would have died if he face planted into the truck---
ONLY when he soared over the truck----a south bound car hit him head on and dragged him down the highway and pitched him into the ditch---with his kidneys hanging out his back---
He had asked me to go riding with him that day! Glad that did not happen! I also had a Honda 750. (junk bikes even when new)
I did not see him for a very long time after that...then he eventually said the docs said you can never work, never have a life--lucky you did not die and he was always poor---so apparently did not bother suing the state truck or something strange why he did not get a pile of $$.
So for 30+ years, he could drive, but he had to use both hands to pick his legs up to get in and out of a car..and he could never ever raise his legs with out his hands pulling "up"....
eventually the guy from Canada called and asked if he could stop by at 2 am in the morning, because he was driving none stop from Toronto to Florida and stopping by around 2 am and back to Toronto --Non Stop! (yes he is a crazy (canadian). At 2 am he ask me if I had anything that hurts and the only thing that hurt at all was a "stiff" finger that had been broken in the past and I had been boweling and aggravated the finger joint and it was swollen and not bendable.. he grabs by finger and sprays something on it---and in less than 1 minute---the swelling was gone and my finger pain free---I said WHAT? He gives me a few bottles and leaves.....
I spray it in my mouth and it tasted "Spoiled" and I learned years later that it was...
I go about making my own version biased on what little the guy said about it--the very first experiment was nothing less than miraculous and I gave him my only body. I make another body and Dean pulls in---I see him pull his legs up and get out of the car----he comes in and I say Hey! I got something I want to show you---but this time I added some cayenne to the formula and was scared to spray it on him and I instead sprayed it to the side of him---not direct on him---none of the spray touched his skin!
He never lifted his shirt, in fact, I never had a clue what his back looked like for the past 30+ years-------and just 1 minute or less he says---I just experienced a "Miracle"----my wife walks in and says what? He says I just experienced a "Miracle" and he starts DANCING and pulling his knees clear up to his chest----jumping and bouncing!!!
I was dumb founded.........I gave him the body, he goes home and has a old donkey that had a frozen front knee---he sprays it and he swears the donkey bent his knee--- proof animals / humans have similar brain function!
I make a third bottle, with the cayenne-----a man that built the first rover that went to mars, walks in---I tell him about Dean a few days earlier---he says B/S, SPRAY ME!!!! So I did the same----not 1 drop of spray landed on his body and in about 30 seconds he sends his right arm straight up in the air and says---I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS! Before being a Nasa Engineer he graduated Pharmacy college because his dad asked him to--because pops was a pharmacist.
IT then took years to learn about Phantom Pains---
It took me years to understand how much the BRAIN LIES TO US!
