Default #1 Gus2 sez Howdy Hi from Idaho
In 1968 after 3 years of Army Air Defense Command in PA
flew to Ireland bought a 350 Velocette Viper
which had been raced on Island of Man
then toured Europefor 6 months
plus a few days in North Africa

In Portugal booked tramp steamer to USA
told skipper no $ ship bike home
under his breath he said "ohhhh you 4 stevedores
come down carry motorcycle up gang-plank"
thank you I say thank you

Back in Oregon traded it for camera system
1975 quit daytime job
have been photographer since
I'll try to find photo of that fun machine
