Last night I got a call from Phil "Green Dragon" and he's about saving orphaned and old motorcycles.
I met Phil and Lupe (Turtle Dove) in Bellaire at last years at INZANE. He and Lupe won the fuel mileage challenge, two-up in an I/S.
He is building a GL1100 bobber and his vision of what a custom bike is to build a practical and reliable motorcycle that you can really ride. He is not building a "Rat Bike", but a fun, practicle bike that will handle the area in which he rides (the Rocky Mountains front range).
We as an enthusiast organization should embrace the longevity and technology that our old Valks, GWs, VTXs, etc. and should look at the bikes in our sheds, garages, carports, or under a tarp.
Everyone can profit from saveing our old bikes. Even if you are not mechanically inclined, there are others out there that would buy a bike if they are reasonaly priced, or getting some buddies together on a Saturday afternoon to help and throw out some ideas.
Lets make us all better bikers by keeping in touch with our bikes and brothers.
Peace
