Subject: [CR] New Wizard in Town-Rose Bowl Vintage Ride


I attended my first Rose Bowl Vintage ride yesterday. Had a great time and would like to thank Charles and Chuck for everything. I brought out my old Wizard frame that I just restored and which I would like to publicly thank Brain Baylis for doing his usual outstanding paint work for me. The bike is 35 years old and had been sitting in the elements for at least 20 years and looked like a big pile of crap. But glad to report that it now looks like brand new. Will post some pictures soon. It really came out sweet. It is one of the best Wizards we built because it was for myself and I kinda liked me at the time. Brian came up from San Diego and we both were riding Wizards together for the first time in over 30 years. Brian declared it Wizard Day and maybe we will make it an annual thing and try to get some more of you with Wizards to dust them off and come on out.

Anyway Great Time, Great Ride and Great People. Hope more of you will try this ride it was a lot of fun.
