Indigenous People Day, Mt. Grace parking lot, Warwick, Mass. My SC rig and R75/5 (piloted by my friend Kris). Never did meet the owner of that very cool MG-A.

Finally cooling down in Arizona. Took the '55 R69 out for a ride after a long summer nap. Other than the Hoske mufflers, about as original a bike as you are likely to find.
Tom/George,
Appreciate the kudos! I picked this bike up from John Lacko about 20 years ago. John was pretty active buying and selling back then and we did quite a lot together. He had pulled the drivetrain to do an overhaul and just had too much going on at the time to finish it up. So... Anyway, I added the fairing (had it hanging in the rafters for a while looking for a home - LOL!) and the rest is history. About as nut and bolt correct as you are likely to find. One of my favorites!
One of the most enjoyable places to ride is the Pacific Northwest here in the US. The challenge begins in November or so as the temperature begins to fall as the rains remain pretty regular through the winter. None-the-less, some sweet moments can be found…yesterday was in the mid 40F range and sunny. The back roads were clear, the 1963 R69S-Steib LS200 rig gave me a break from the R26 rehabilitation efforts and the world seemed good.
