An X Tex also concerned
I have been following the news regarding the wildfires. My heart goes out to my fellow Texans. My family moved to Lubbock in 1952. I remember living through one of those sand storms: I can't remember the technical / African name for it, but a tumbling hurricane force wall of dust and sand...
The fires around Austin are horrible. This isn't the wide open prairie, this is a highly populated area. At least a thousand homes have been lost. I hope your home hasn't been one of them!
Special EdOld bikers never die, they're just out of sight!
My recently re-built, hopped up '79 Special caught fire and burned everything from the top of the engine up: gas tank, wiring, seat, & melted my windshield all over the front of the bike. Just bought a 1980 Special that has been non oped for 9 years. My Skoot will rise from the ashes and be re named "The Phoenix!"
I've been riding since 1959.
