hi-
i think this will get to you folks. the nats. were a real hoot. perfect
weather, good friends, good chow! knowing about the camping situation
already helped [everyone shoulda known about it, what with all the
discussion all year!] there were something like 373 registered. not bad!
the new bikes are awesome! rode an EV at illegal speeds- wonderful
handling, power, and braKes! it looked terriffic in black, too. the lemans
was blindingly fast, and very nimble. torque- city! sure glad we didn't get
spied by THE MAN! i want 1 of each- keep the eldo, of course!
had the pleasure of meeting some really nice folks- ken hand, frank wedge,
louigi, jim,john,alex from mgna, and many others. met alan dunphy from this
list, catskill hawk from the other one :>) and good to see you again,
elisabeth!
tom bowes and i were talking about his stunning ambo when the peoples
choice was announced. well? congrats Tom!!!! out of that HUGE bunch of
bikes, Tom took the prize, and against some serious contention, like angie
casy's '74 eldo, and that 100 point v-7 sport from nyc. pretty neat that a
loop [of course, it aint no ordinary loop!] could score that well. turned
out to be the only award presented [there were others, but a huge oversight
presented them being presented- oops!] well, that's it, i guess! later,
andy
