Cool Scotty...thanks !
I'll save that for when I have time to look closely.

How could we ever understand where we're going if we don't know where we've been ?

Very cool. I see that Rollie influenced a generation with his Speedo riding style! And this guy is on a Triumph, looks like. Thanks.

Rollie didn't invent that riding style...they were all doing it !
For a while.
Then Rollie did the bathing suit version and they all did that.
For a while.
Until...there were some cases of "salt rash" showing up at Salt Lake City General that would make a charge nurse puke.
Can you imagine hitting a hard crystalline salt surface, about 2 Grit, with bare, sweaty skin, at about 120 MPH ?
Ouchie !

Will, sorry about that "bare, sweaty skin" part, I know how you are...
