Greetings. Good to see you're still kicking.

I think my favorite memory of the Epic trip was that burly biker beertender girl picking you up and dunking you in the iced beer trough
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

Hi Jerry, that was a surprise for sure. God to see you around still.  I had my 65th a few weeks ago!

Well I have read through it a couple years ago when it popped up, it reminded me of the many cross country trips that I took in younger years of drinking and asundrious(sp?) additional stuff. I didn't diary my trips nor get as many pictures saved from those days, nights and miles traveled, though I did take lots of pictures on slides, many have been lost in moves but the images are in the dusty files that the rememberer drags out once and a while......


Cody and I on our 1st cross country trip, northern California to NH, September '78, somewhere in northern Utah when I met up with a crazy black guy on a 750 chopper. He mailed(snail mail of the day) this picture to me once he had the film developed. We road a day together (IIRC!)....

Just went through this again. Wonderful trip and memories. That Key West ride was only 5552 miles.

Also memories of Frank and Bobby. RIP.

What became of your bike?
