Email from Woody, 1st March 2014

G'day Neil!

Looking forward to meeting you and Russell at Bonneville this August. A  great bunch of people go there!

My first trip was 1970 with some motorcycle buddies and I asked who the  old coot was with the Indian streamliner. Now I am one of the old coots hanging around the salt! Life will do that to you!

The picture is of my friend Jerry who was helping Burt adjust the valve  clearances on his beast. I told Jerry I
hate him now - it should have  been ME adjusting those tappets - not him!

I saved up for 5 years and ran my 1969 CB-750 Honda in 1975! Then five  more years to pay off the credit cards! I have been going every year  since 2007 lately. Last year with that crazy Gene guy! That's me pointing!

In the 70's I worked in a bike shop in Florida with an old Triumph works  guy (Davy Jones) that I think had that same SE 500cc and an earlier  350cc Rudge if memory serves me right! I probably have some pixs packed  away somewhere!
