Frank & Fellow Spridgeteers,
I know what you mean about "REAL" (trucks). I recently changed the oil in my
'56 Chevy big-window pickup. First time since 1973.... yep, you read right.
That old Chevy engine takes a lickin' and keeps on a tickin'. Hell, it's just
an old truck. Was my main Husky hauler when I rode those back, leg, arm, hand,
finger, foot breaking things! Sure glad I got so beat up I can't ride any
more. But this crazy guy's still on the street... still enjoying my (bought it
new) '64 Triumph Bonneville. And when I feel REAL crazy, I climb on my Kaw
GPz1100... just for S & G's!!!
They don't call me....WFO Herb ... for nothing!
Keep the sticky side down!
