OK Glen - thanks for the invite - I figure most of you guyz and ladies, know the name Marty Dickerson.  Well brother Lou had an opportunity to sit down with Marty at last years BUB meet and get a fantastic interview with some interesting historical stuff that I am sure we will all be glad got put down on video. Since then Lou & Marty have been communicating and Marty sent him some very cool old photos to include in his video - so with out any further vernacular - here is the link to the you tube interview with a Bonneville legend named Marty Dickerson - I think it may instigate some conversation for chat night - Enjoy

Great Interview.....thanks for sharing the history.

By the way I have been told on good authority, that back in the day Marty looked much more like a handsome movie star than that Walt guy does in the film!

After seeing some of those old photos I would agree Mark. He was quite the dapper dude. Not to take away from any of his still very distinguishable senior manly elegance.  Still has that contagious smile too, when talking to him you can't help but smile also. I just hope I still have that much spunk at that age.  Keep on truckin Marty !

Oh shoot !   :roll:   Here I am 2 days late & a dollar short to get in on, or instigate some Bnvle chat. So I will endeavor to instigate anyhow.  How about being 70 yrs. young and still gettin out there on the salt to try and set another Land Speed record ?
How about a guy named Terry Prince from Australia, who caught the racing bug back in 1950 and is still at it today. Terry is one of those inspirational guys like the legendary Marty Dickerson.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlSqKccPL30

Here is just a couple minutes of an interview with Terry at Bnvle last year. Check it out and see if this gives some of you guyz something to yik-yak about, thats da same as chatting where I come from.

In 1950 when Terry’s father took him, then 12 years old, to watch the Brighton speed trails, where George Brown was riding his Vincent-powered special, NERO. It was a day that was to affect the rest of young Terry’s life.

At the age of 16 Terry bought his first Vincent that he still races today. This Londoner embarked on a life’s work of engineering and manufacturing high performance parts for Vincent motorcycle racing.

Terry was an engineer for Fritz Egli, where he helped to create the Egli Vincent. The TPV was inspired by those machines.Now living in Australia for the past 30 years Terry owns and operates Classic Motor Bikes a high performance shop that people from around the world get their parts for racing.

Have some fun - go fast - stop safe      :-D     :cheers:

Ohy Geeezze - here I am all over the site lookin for friday night joke night - cant find it, and then I see I am day late again for chat night.  So I guess I'll say a big Congratulations to John & his bride. Babs & I wish you both many years of health & happiness. Just slow down a little for this ride John.  

Oh - oh - I gotta tell this one anyhow -

 TWO LOUISIANA PASTORS
 
Reverend Boudreaux was the part-time pastor of the local Cajun Baptist Church and Pastor Thibodaux was the minister of the Covenant Church across the road.  They  were both standing by the road, pounding a sign into the ground, that read:

                                

                                    'Da End is Near

                                    Turn Yo Sef 'Roun Now

                                    Afore It Be Too Late!'

      

As a car sped past them, the driver leaned out his window and yelled, 'You religious nuts!'
    

From the curve they heard screeching tires, and a big splash...

Boudreaux turns to Thibodaux and asks..............................

'Do ya tink maybe da sign should jussay.....'Bridge Out?'
