Paul, the wandering Dutchman has arrived in the SF Bay Area. He called
earlier this evening. He's a journalist, riding a Guzzi loopframe
V7-Special from Prudhoe Bay Alaska to Patagonia.

It is mostly in Dutch, but you can wade through it. I went out to fetch
him in Berkely and guide him home here to Fremont . He has dined and
showered and now sleeping.
We will be doing a San Francisco tour by car on Friday. Need the car so
we can chat.
We will be doing a similar photo loop on Saturday so he can get his bike
in various panoramic shots if the fog lifts.
Probably try for dinner at Rickenbachers in SF on Saturday, early
evening, 6:00ish.
Probably try for Alice's on Sunday morning, 10:00ish.
Call me if you'd like to meet him or if you wish to participate in the
hosting hospitality. 510-520-5021
I think he will depart Monday morning for his run down the coastal
highway 1 toward Los Angeles.
Funny introduction. When we first met earlier this evening in Berkeley,
he showed me a rather familiar Guzzi custom seat. It was the two-up
Corbin bucket that was on my 73 Eldo when I sold it to Greg Field. Greg
was nice enough to provide him with the improved seating when he passed
through Seattle. His butt is soooooo happy.
