Denny you have to turn down the music!

I won't have time for a couple of days, but will dig through my issues when I get a chance. Offhand do you remember what is on the cover?

The scar looks good, considering how you did it. The fact that it did not get infected is a blessing.
When I compare the new bikes to the 1966 Triumph in my garage, the difference in balance, braking and performance are amazing.
The Triumph has been in boxes for 30+ years waiting for my...
