And Maybe Axle won't become as grumpy as pops!! Been to the Factory many times cleaning out a lot of their old goods, all toll 12 to 14 pallets worth!...........I would of think he would have been curious as to why someone was so interested in Equipment that he used and rode to so many victories. Instead he slammed the door! When the boss is at work everybody working there is stiff as a board with long faces!.........But when the old man is gone as like with one of our visits, everybody was full of cool-aid smiles and much more at ease. The boss walks in and everybody jumps!!..............It was like ''NIGHT AND DAY!''
I left a Gianni Motta poster for him to autograph. Of course in the Poster he was sitting in the back of Motta. Maybe he was pissed about that!..........But I don't think so!
BC.............And the gang!!.....Going back for my poster autographed or not!!...Eindhoven.........Holland
