WHO DAT ?

Post by Lucasind »

...So at this years rally, many of us went to tour the "wheels thru time" motorcycle museum.,and found it to be truly AWESOME !, but while I was there I saw this guy wearin a black hat in the gift shop. After makin his purchase, I again saw him outside hiding a white bag behind his back seen here in this photo approaching museum owner Dale Walksler !

Well it did take some time to finally get to talk to Dale. The young man he was talking with just kept going and going and going. Then I noticed his shirt logo had the name of a law firm on it. Well that now made it clear, a long winded lawyer. This guy would have talked all day......Dave from NC finally just ( very politely ) broke into the middle and got Dale's attention and I did get my man-cave sign autographed .
:woohoo:

It was a great rally this year and Marie and I had a fantastic time. The Smokies are my favorite place to ride, ( even two up ) And the extra week down in the area was great riding all week long ,until Friday when the weather went sour.
But when we got back to NJ and back to work, :gmad: nothing but broken down machines and past due deadlines.... Man - cave sign still not up, bike still dirty and 2 out of 5 machines left to get repaired, photos to edit and post........ but a BUSY MAN IS A HAPPY MAN......

Also I would like to thank everyone that purchased items from me. I will be back to manufacturing within a week or so and adding new items.

It's awesome that Dale is a celebrity. I guess that makes my Wheel's Through Time Musuem stuff from when he spent 28 years in Mt.Vernon , Illinois collectible now. Dale is a super guy and a great man to sit and eat with and talk about old bikes and parts. A friend of mine once asked Dale (he was doing work for Dale, putting up cabinets) if he could trade for some old parts for one of his restorations. Dale responded without missing a beat, "don't think so, you can go find them like I do at swap meets and sales". I'm glad to see that he is considered a celebrity status now.
