Tom,
Thanks for the complement about the Hawaiian print shirt. Maybe next year Dale will have a tacky shirt contest. The truck is for sale for anyone that is interested in it. Contact me off list.

The bikes were great, but people stole the show. The old friends, the
newbies were great. Some really interesting new folks that really added a
lot to everyone's enjoyment of the show.
Best bike there to not win a prize ( I don't think it did, anyway)...Guy
Apple's new Peter Johnson...Wow!
Best bike carrier...Peter Koskinian's huge truck full of goodies...He also
would win Best Hawaiian Shirt, too, if there were such an award.
Best activity...helping clean out Dale's bike building behind his house
Thursday afternoon. A bunch of us went over there and got more playing and
ogling in than work, but Dale was good natured about it and seemed to enjoy
it as much as we did.
Best Meal...Monterey Mexican on Sunday night. Most improved meal...the
Saturday night dinner at the banquet...better than last year. Worst
meal...I thought it would be the Thursday night sea food place which sure
did not set the world on fire, but the cold, indifferent Salmon at the
Italian place on Friday night was a really weak meal for $17...Surely there
is better food in Greensboro than that...perhaps the wood fired pizza place
by Dales' might be worth looking into...or Stamey's Bar-B-Que?
Best non bike thing I saw in the area...I drove to the top of Pilot Mountain
a little ways out of town and it was mind blowing...2000 foot cliffs all
around...it looked like Valhalla!
Not enough time to do everything I wanted to do and too little time with
friends...looking forward to getting together with some of them later this
year.
Dale was once again the perfect host and lots of folks need to be thanked
for their hard work.
