I was killing time in my VW (waiting until the inspection station opened) & passed a "Selz" mailbox out beyond Dave Smiths Foreign Car junkyard (a familiar haunt of mine for over 25 years).

Ron -
Hmmmmm; wonder if I should be suspicious? You never wanted to know
where I lived BEFORE I had the Eldo...
Just kidding of course. Yes, you correctly spotted the entrance to the
Selz residence; next time you are out that way, pull in the driveway and
come straight on back (don't turn to the right up the hill when the
driveway forks about a half-mile back) about a mile and there I am.
There's usually someone about and we'd be glad to see you anytime, talk
bikes, kick tires, plan a ride, whatever. We love company anytime,
especially biker company. Did you and Roger get to ride the BRP on
Sunday? Sorry I missed out.
By the way, for the sake of our property values, let's call the business
up the road "Smiths Foreign Used Auto Parts". The commonly used local
name of "'Pig' Smith's Junkyard" doesn't have that gated-community
country-club cachet to it that we so much like to encourage.
Gonna go out in a minute and crank the Eldo up for the first time. Hey,
wassup wid dat funky dipstick anyway? The thing has a 22mm hex bolt
head that takes a 1/2" drive breaker bar to take out; looks like
something that would hold the treads onto a Sherman tank. I've had 21
other bikes and never seen such a creation.
I sure hope people sell nice little accessory wing-caps or something
that you can take out with your hand.
Lots to learn yet before I start calling it "my wonderful Italian magic
carpet" and start taking long warm showers with it....
