Ron we would all love to see those photos of Frank and you and Pieces.
Please put that request on the top of your list. Wow I can just see in
my imagination Frank driving with that engine on the floor of Pieces. Wow
what a guy. That must have been so much fun hang out with Frank and the
boys.
BTW what kind of bikes are you into these days? I spoke with some engineers
at Indian 2 weeks ago and asked if they will ever make a smaller Indian
like the Scout and they are for 2014.
