I rode my camp bike (83 interstate mongrel) 30 miles out in the countryside to my friends barn to put it away for the season. Had a great ride, 53 degrees, bright sun, and 50 mile an hour winds! Fortunately it was mostly a tailwind so if I rode at the right speed, there was no wind at all! Of course this was intermittantly (sp) interupted by side gusts that tried to blow me into the oncoming lane...whew, what a thrill ride.
The upper floor of the barn is mostly just car storage, Chuck is a retired heavy truck mechanic, and tool collector. His current projects are a 66 ford fairlane drag car, and a 53 Hudson hornet that is to become a fun driver (390 ford engine and auto trans) peeking out from the covers around the bike are a 70ish lincoln town car, a couple other fairlanes, a 93 caddy (don't know which one but its big!), a buick roadmaster and the king of the collection is a 53 Hudson wasp all restored with gorgeous champange paint. So the wing is in good company with friendly neighbors and a crowd of mice! Dryers sheets in all the openings keep the mice at bay. Spring is just a wish right now, but I'll try to keep busy to make the time pass quicker.
