    Solvang Motorcycle Museum

    E. Liberty sent me this PDF file and asked me to pass it along. If you are interested in vintage motorcyles you need to check this out!

    File size is 307K.

    Here is part of the note E. Liberty sent me:

    *********
    Hey Jerry-
    I am going to try to forward to you an email with an attachment from a weekly mag called Friction Zone. The editor has given us permission to post the article along with a blurb from moi, to raise interest in haveing a Spring Rally there in March or April.
    **********

    More to come from E. Liberty, I'm sure!

          Link works for me from both my home Mac and office PC. Here is the URL without the text description:

              Jerry,
              The second link worked for me. I did read this in the mag, as Ed dropped it off so we could talk about a ride. I think it will make a GREAT weekend ride for anyone in California.

                  I tell ya, you Californians make me jealous. The XS just doesn't seem to be as popular here in South Carolina as in other parts of the country (and Canada) ... I feel like a lone drifter at times.

                  Maybe I should just buy a dozen or so, and then sell them to local riders only, lol ... SWMBO would have a shyte-fit.

                      Sorry Jerry, but I can't get the link to work. I have a pop-up blocker, and my computer geek sez to use "control click" to access links, which I did, but I still can't access the article: of course I know what the article sez, but I'm concerned that others won't be able to view it.
                      In the mean time I'm going to inter a new post reguarding a spring rally.
                      Man, I gotta get my own website goin'!

                      Old 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.

                          O.K., it's my computer. I tried another one and the article came up.
                          Read my blurb a few spaces up reguarding the Solvang article.
                          I'd like to know who is interested and what time periods work for you.
