Home at last.

Gentlemen,

Charley’s first bike has been finished and on display in my trophy/living room for some time now and yesterday morning C4 finally made it home to see it. He flew in from Houston with his Texas A&M sweetheart Haley to spend the long weekend and go to Barrett Jackson. The last time he was on it was 20 years ago when he was 6. He said “I remember it being bigger than this.” Wonderful.

Chip

I just finally found a YZ80 like I had as a kid. Can’t wait to restore it. I thought the same think about it being bigger...
