Hey All,
OK...too cold to ride here in North GA...so I decided to spend a little time
reflecting on my passion...Loops. I was wondering if some of you would like
to offer a short anecdote as to how and when you became aware of Loops and
your first aquisition. Here is mine:
"...Back in the early 90's, while living in Wichita,KS, I began a search for
an old bike to restore. Having never heard of Loops I accompanied a friend
to a small bike shop (Ronco). He was going to look at a Norton and I thought
I also might pick something up along british blood lines. When I entered the
shop...there among basket cases, parts bikes and old beaters...was a newly
restored Eldorado. It was love at first sight. From that experience I
acquired my first two Ambos (one basket case that was to be used as
parts...now a fully restored Ambo) and my passion for Loops had begun..."
Not sure where I want to go with this but I have thought about compiling the
anecdotes into an article. Heck...maybe a documentary on Loops and their
keeper's passions???
Thanks for all inputs in advance...Ian
