Dang i forgot to take a pic of a Cyclone I saw in real life. I think I even TOUCHED it!
Jeff Decker had it at Bonneville..on the salt..not even roped off.. Easily worth 1/3 million...+

 I meant i have photos I took of it,will take pics of the pics to post here..

Hoooly, that Henderson looks like the Hindenberg of two wheelers. Very nice!

I went Art of the motorcycle at the Guggenheim, 09 ?? Seeing the Cyclone was something all right, I agree . The line of people waiting to get in the museum was unreal. Friggin awesome, one of the best things I ever did,Ever.
its better to regret something you have done,than something you havent.Except playing with explosives.

I'd like to have an AREIAL  SQUARE 4.  I think they were also called the WIDOW MAKER because they ran so fast for their time!!!   I may have it confused with the Vincent..
That what happens when you get my AGE... Too much input to try and store in a TANDY 2000 size brain.
