if it's Robert Steele JR, than they need no more red hats, as Robert is in the 2 Club for app. 10 years on the motorcycle....

I don't think it was the namesake, I think the last name was Berry? Sorry I didn't catch it. So possibly another hat if he can back it up...

Some have called JBS Mild Steele but maybe Seamless Steele would be better. It keeps SS in the family.

Well the kid got it through the run in one piece... end result he bumped Jon's record and made it his... 224.223MPH.... Data tells me I need a bigger/better intercooler.
We head east in the morning...  :cheers:
