PDA Road Gear “Shindig”
O
n Saturday, July 23rd, PDA Road Gear in Littleton
held their “Shindig” to benefit The Spinal Cord Society.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the term
shindig, it is large, lively party. In this case, the PDA Road
Gear shindig was celebrating some great sets of wheels. The
event featured appearances by some of the Hooters girls, live
music, free food, a bike and car show, and a “Sound Off”.
What is a sound off you say? Well just how crisp, clear and
loud can the stereo system on be on your set of wheels? PDA
Road Gear is proud to say that they have been “Disturbing
the Peace since 1980” by selling, installing and servicing
aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer accessories
for all vehicles, Hot rods, Classic Cars, Motor Homes, Boats,
Limo’s, and of course, motorcycles. So many of the cars and
motorcycles in the show were not only a joy to look at, but
listen to as well. PDA even provided an air castle to keep
the little ones entertained. Others represented at the Shindig
were Alpine USA, Focal, Rocky Mountain Harley Davidson,
Denver 81, JL Audio, Benders Brat Haus, Rib City, Garlic
Knot, Hooters and ARC Audio.
One of the most interesting set of wheels running around the
PDA Road Gear Parking lot was the wheel chair that belongs
to Kermit Breyer, President of the Centennial Colorado
Chapter of the Spinal Cord Society. Kermit is always upbeat,
fun, friendly, and seems to love to make people laugh. Kermit
injured his spinal cord decades ago in an auto accident. He
tends to deflect sympathy directed towards himself in favor of
the many who he says have it worse than he does. Through
his many years of volunteering for The Spinal Cord Society,
he has met numerous paraplegics and quadriplegics who
live in hideous pain day in and day out due to accidents that
resulted in either a broken neck or broken back. The Spinal
Cord Society has made great strides in curing spinal cord injuries,
especially in cases where treatments can be administered as soon
as possible after the injury occurs. The SCS feels that too many
in the medical fields have opted to provide expensive care for the
lifetime of the victims rather than actually provide a cure.
