[Stig / Major Tom]

Coffee buddy came putting into the coffee shop on his motorcycle this morning.
His other bike is a nice old red Reflex.





Coming into town I find it hard to pass this photogenic little B&B.

The retired guy I ride with on Romeo rides has a collection of old BMW'S along with a collection of Cushman scooter's.  Everything he owns is air cooled.

Mine was a '59 R 69 S with the Earles fork . Had to sell it to pay for a new engine when our '67 VW bus camper sucked a valve at 50 mph.
