Well, a few years ago Brian Baylis put on a lug filing demo for those of us fortunate enough to be in Dale's back yard during Cirque. We had crammed ourselves into Dale's little bike building and Brian had at it. I was amazed at the physical effort of it all. Brian really worked up a sweat and I came away with a whole new appreciation for the amount of labor that goes into the making of a KOF bike.
Man I sure miss those back yard soirees of old at Dale's house, but I guess his neighbors got down on the congestion in their neighbor hood and the gatherings went the way of the legend. There are a lot of fun photos of those times still floating around, though.
Dale was a great host! If that's an attaboy, he can just damn well hang me from the yard arm!
