Hi Gang,
As Dennis said the rally was a blast! I do think we had the newer bikes
out numbered, maybe we should email the Liskows and get an "official"
tally? It was really great to see everyone (what do you mean "put up
with you" Andy? I think it was the other way around!). Our own Ian
Adkins won "Oldest Bike" with his super rare and ultra valuable '69
"A-series" Ambassador.
Had an uneventful ride up and back (275 miles up and 325 back), the old
'69 ran like the locomotive it is. Only problem is I'm already going
into Loopframe withdrawal! Looking at three is just not enough!
I'm terrible with names - what was Mr. Peterson's first name ( the red
w/green frame "950" Eldo that had so many nice modifications)? As soon
as I finish out the roll, I'll have someone post pictures for all to see
and would like to give credit where it is due.
It really nice (as you all know) to talk to someone who has a clue about
why you like your V700/Ambo/Eldo so much. That's what made the rally
(and makes this list) so great! With all the "civilians" I talk to, it's
kind of like "If I have to explain, you'll never understand." I wish I
could make it to the National, but since it's not in the cards, maybe
I'll meet more of you at the VA, NC, OH or MD rallies (not to mention
Vintage M/C Days @ Mid-Ohio). Cheers,
Charlie
