Meeting tonight...see everybody there!

Sorry guys, work stuff and more to take care of. Missing this one. Y'all have fun! I know it won't be the same without me, but I am sure you'll make do.

Well, what did I miss?

I wanted to come to the meeting, but I had an awful headache after work yesterday so I couldn't get motivated to leave the house once I got home.

Hope you guys had a good meeting.

It was very interesting. Mark Bayer, self-proclaimed motorcycle historian, presented a lot of his research into the very beginnings of motorcycles, the rise of the US motorcycle, reasons for their success and failures, opinions regarding which manufacturers and countries have been most influential for innovation in the industry and lots of other tidbits including the types of people who bought motorcycles through the decades.

Mark Bayer gave us his card which included his phone number and email address as well as these links:
