Something different.EN BOQEQ, Israel - It was blistering hot and members of the Toronto motorcycle club Yids on Wheels, or YOW, who have come to the Jewish homeland to celebrate its 60th anniversary as a state, had pulled into this idyllic Dead Sea resort town 300 metres below sea level for a beverage and a few minutes in the shade.
"When I signed up this was a dream and now it is a dream come true," said Gerry Susskind, YOW's 65-year old road captain, who has been fighting off esophageal cancer.
