Better late than never.
I just noticed this thread and thought it a good place to thank my crew for the success we had this year. I regret not meeting a lot of you guys and gals, but it seems that we spent most of our time in line, or in impound (six trips to impound, but of course that's the point of going!), and just didn't get around. Also, my bike was nearly always in the trailer, so many others didn't get a chance to see it.
The photo I'm posting shows me, the bike, and my crew. Three of my good friends from high school drove all the way out from Maryland for a reunion. Unfortunately, my good friend Ralph was too ill (handicapped at age 18 while in the U.S.Marines) to get out of the motor home, so didn't make the photo. Left to right are Russell, whom I toured Europe with in 1970, Ed, my niece's husband and pit b*tch, Ray, of Colorado and Delaware (high school buddy), and Sue and Doug, my machinist from Longmont, Co. and his wife. The support from good friends goes a long way towards making such a trip a memory of a lifetime.
