I'd love to host, Patrick...but I'm afraid Tampa is a little out of the
way :> At least you loopers on the west coast get to hear some
interesting stories.

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. Go seehttp://www.guzzigalore.nl/log/index.php 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. Patrick Hayes Fremont CA |
