Motorcycle shops and railroad tracks seem to go together. For many years the Harley shop in Vandergrift was beside the tracks (PRR).

Ray, once-upon-a-time in my misspent youth I watched sidecar road-racing and I've never looked at sidecars the same way since. The way the rider hung out horizontally a few inches above the asphalt on right-hand corners and would then leap to lay flat on the straights was an eye-opener.

Rail, river, and highway!  All I needed was air travel.  Late evening; Parkersburg, West Virginia.

Lew, you need to watch out taking a right hand turn, too fast and that side car comes off the ground then steering becomes very hard. My bike and boys.

For today, Valentines Day .... " Smootchers!"

Happy Valentine's Day..........
