(REPLY) Wow! Just WOW!! Your bitsa Norton always makes my day ... what an awesome Thumper! - #000.
"Threefenders" ... sent several photos, one of which featured all four of his Thumper stable, reminiscent of the photo sent earlier by Steve Oakman, his Thumpers pulled out of his garage and rowed-up for a photo.
Anyone else care to send your photo of your Thumper stable?
And, ThreeFenders ... I do plan to use that foursome photo soon but I just couldn't NOT give centerstage to this Norton. - #000

(04-22-21) MOTO-CROSS ... ahh, yes ... for me, it was back in the day when 8 -10 inches was a lot of suspension; for these lads, most were born post-1990, many later in the 21st century, and some were yet to have their first shave ... but all were "flying" at this area MX track last Sunday ... 237 entries, I'm told!
In the parking area, I expected to see a lot of Pickups and three rail trailers ... not the case. Motorhomes with chrome wheels, RV trailers, gooseneck and otherwise, are apparently the racer's conveyance vehicle of choice these days.
Spectators were few and most were of the senior variety, Grandpa and Grannys, I might suppose. Sub-70ish paddock chicks were non-existent ... and, however, on an encouraging note, there were lots of young kids, "yutes" as Cousin Vinny used to say, on track, around the track, and in the parking area and they all appeared to be having fun!
I enjoyed running into a couple of familiar faces along the chainlink fence, but that was it ... I struck up conversations with a few of the racers, most seemed polite, dedicated, and willing to visit with an ole guy in leathers.
It was a refreshing afternoon, I'm glad I went... - #000

VIEWERS OF VIDEO ... attention:
Jack, club members, and guests,
I assume a lot of the club members already know about this, but for those that don't, I would like to point it out.
I was looking at videos about the new Royal Enfield Meteor and accidentally happened upon this site called Wheels Through Time.
For a piddly $8, one can watch hours of videos about old motorcycles brought back to life. A lot of them are early Thumpers (a 1903 Indian being one). Of course, most are twins and fours, but they are all very interesting to learn about and listen to and watch being ridden.
Thought you might like to pass this along.
Steve Oakman #5266 - Nebraska
(REPLY) Yo Stevie (Thank You!) ... did you get some snow a few days ago? Chilly, too, right? No wonder you were watching videos, eh? I suspect this might be linked with the Wheels Through Time Motorcycle Museum in Maggie Vally, North Carolina ... FSSNOC had an event there a number of years ago, an amazing collection!
You may recall that we carried the notice of the passing of the original owner and builder of this collection, Dale Walksler just a few months ago. My view, don't wait until you are in the area, make plans to go, it's worth the trip, at least in my opinion ... been there twice ... would go again! ... #000
