give thanks and praise

my friend Rich O
from Sacto has been on a bike
longer than most of us have
been alive. I get envelopes
from him in the mail. Inside
these envelopes he statshes
memories of his chopper glory
days in the form of photographs
and hand scribbled notes.
I usually feel slightly overwhelmed
when the envelopes show up. I cant
just rip em open and flip through
em like most shit you get in the mail.
So sometimes i just let em sit for a few
days or a week till the time is right.
Till i'm ready to soak it in. He was
there for the glory days of choppers.
Living free. This is just a slice of the
photos. As always thanks Rich. These
just rule.
more to come soon:

here's some photos from my friend Bob
Wises's scrapbook. He's a great artist,
was a printer for 30yrs. A great model
builder, don't laugh. He's won national
competitions. Builds great traditional
hotrods and was into bikes from the 70's
to mid eighties.
Hope you enjoy our "old ass men" journey's
to times long past. Our glory days. It's
you "young turks" time in the barrel now and
you can tell from the smiles on our faces it
makes us remember when.
Regards
