Went for a short ride today to Roan Mtn and back...less than 100 miles. Saw 5...count'em FIVE Valks!! Two were together (Terry and his other brother Terry) but the other three were newbies. One coming out of Roan and two (not riding together) headed towards Roan. Wunnerful day!!  |

You've met Bob he rode across Foothills Parkway and The Dragon with us several years ago...He had a slow black Standard back then lost that bike in a crash ( best I remember a young lady pulled out in front of him )....Remember the blue/white Standard that was for sale at the coin shop across from the Clinton court house ? That's Bob's bike now. |

Big Al Yep, you be right and stuff!! At that time we were sure the plant was closing, just didn't know when. BTW, I'll sell you that blue/white standard if you still want it.....asking price....$31,000...I'd settle for $30,990  |

Actually..it IS Terry and his other brother Terry!!! They go by different names here, though. And if you ask them if they're really brothers, you might have to fight both of'em!!  |

No, not really. Took a little while to get it running right. Some rust here and there. Rims are still ugly. Hard 6 has a great deal on trading rims for chromed ones...and I have a birthday coming up....I'm just sayin'  |
