I promised my wife I’d write

But after writing and editing all day, it’s hard to read and write on personal time. Or at least tiresome… Anywho…

I intend to go to the Barber Vintage Festival (Oct. 19-21) in Birmingham, Ala., this year (as a civilian, since I no longer edit Vintage Motorcycles magazine — the finest U.S.-based vintage bike rag). I want to ride my 1979 CB750SS, and am looking for companions. I may still need a chase vehicle as that is in the air right now. I will be leaving Milwaukee likely on Friday, be at the show, swap, races, auction on Saturday, and ride home Sunday. It’s a 12-hour trip, just btw. Let me know if you’re interested, or if you need more info about the event, as I officially attended the first two to cover for VM.

And a quick plug here for my favorite shop, SK Service in Hatley, Wis., and my favorite clubs: the AMA, AMCA, VJMC and INOA.

 Be safe, wear a helmet while riding and keep the rubber side down.
