Luc Perreault from Greater Sudbury, Canada stopped by a Tim Horton’s coffee shop when he noticed a cute and eager little girl wanting to say “hello” to him in the parking lot. The man had just finished test driving his mom’s motorcycle and has been a biker all his life.
When the girl approached him, Luc simply said “hi” back and gave her a quick smile. However, the little girl’s mom noticed their interaction and quickly intervened.
She grabbed her daughter away from the man and said “No dear, we don’t talk to dirty bikers.”
Admittedly, Luc has an appearance that can make him stand out in a crowd. He is a big man, has tattoos and is very much part of the biker culture. But even though the proverb “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is widely known, this woman was definitely insulting his feelings by labeling him as a “dirty biker.”
The man then decided to write a heartfelt post on his personal Facebook page and it’s truly brilliant. This story is a perfect example that it’s what’s on the inside that matters. His friends and family quickly commented with tons of love and support for Luc, saying that he has a heart of gold and is an incredibly kind human being. The post also quickly went viral and was shared thousands of times.
To the family in the red SUV at Tim Horton’s today,
Yes I am a big 280 lbs guy with motorcycles and full of tattoos, I am a welder, I am loud, I drink beer, I swear and I look like I would eat your soul if you stare at me wrong.
What you don’t know is that I have been happily married for 11 years, my kids call me daddy, i am a college graduate, my mother is proud of me and tells everyone how lucky she is to have such a wonderful son, my nieces and nephews are always happy to see there m’noncl Luc, when my daughter broke her arm I cried more than she did. I read books, i help people, I go out of my way to thank war veterans and I even cried at Armageddon…..
So next time I smile and say hi to your little girl and you grab her and tell her “No no dear we don’t talk to dirty bikers” remember that even tho you hurt my feelings this “dirty biker would be the first person to run into your burning house to save your little girls gold fish so she wouldn’t be sad!!!!
