put it in a hardtail frame & rode it for a couple of years. Sold it when I was leaving the country for a spell.

In 1993 I rode a 57 Sportster hardtail, buddy rode 56 pan - us and about 15 other guys rode from Tulsa to Iowa and back one weekend....we didn't break down. (Evos and shovels were betting against us, lol)

Just got a text from one of the cops that used to do security at the liquor store I used to manage. He got a call to go to an apartment at a retirement community to do a welfare check because there was a smell coming out of the apartment. Inside he found a dead body that had probably been there for a week or so. Turns out it was a really good friend of mine(an older guy, in his mid 60's) who used to work for us doing janitor stuff part time just to have something to do. Coroner's office is on the way. Gonna run an autopsy on him. Was NOT Corona virus related. I just talked to him about a week and a half ago and he was fine. He had to have passed away a day or two after I talked to him. I hadn't talked to him in a couple months prior. He had gotten a new number and doesn't know how to text so he called me out of the blue just to talk and see how everyone was and give me his new phone number.

When I was stationed in Arizona I was riding with a very good friend (and a mutual friend of @lesptr ) in his 68 Camaro SS. He was showing me what that 4 speed manual 427 would do. We were on a back road going back to the airfield when a AZ State Trooped stopped him going about 125mph in a 55 zone, I think we were only in third gear, lol. That trooper made his way up to the drivers window and the conservation went like this.....

Trooper: "Sir, do you have any idea how fast you were going?"

My Friend: "No officer, I really don't. I wasn't looking at the speedometer."

Trooper: "Well I hope the hell not! Anybody driving that fast needs to be focused on the GD road and nothing else!"

My Friend: "I'm sorry about that officer. I don't know what else to say."

Trooper: "Are you men headed to back to the airfield?" (we were both wearing flights suits).

My Friend: "I hope so officer, but i know that's entirely up to you at this point."

Trooper: "Do you know Karl _______" (DAC Airfield Ops Manager and president of the local Corvette Club)

My Friend: "Yes Sir, we know him very well"

Trooper: "When you get there say hello to Karl and tell him he owes me a Big One!"

My Friend: "I really apprecia.....(Quickly interrupted by the Trooper)

Trooper: "This would be an excellent time to put the car in gear and SLOWLY get your ass back to the Post"

When we got back we made our way over to Base Ops to tell Karl about it. He laughed and replied "Yeah, he's a member of the Corvette Club and knows if he pisses me off I won't let him drive his Vette on the runway when I close the airfield for the upcoming annual Vette Club Car Rally. He's a good guy....He's got a really nice 94 Anniversary Vette, but he has a trailer hitch on the back." I was standing there looking all quizzical about a Vette and trailer hitch combo when he looked at me and said "Yeah, he's probably going to Hell for that when he dies". I giggled. True Story
