Now, here's the thing about Rich Ostrander - he's still just as much fun as he was at 16! I love hanging out with the guy, he's a straight shooter and has great stories. We first met when he was riding his '28 Indian Scout, I was on my '26 Norton, and we were dicing it up on Trinity Road outside Glen Ellen. Very few people scratch on their 20's machines - Rich rocks!
