Mrs Evelyn,
Joe was a inspiration in my early biking days through Thunder Road M/C .Being around my uncle and all the real bikers from days gone by,made me think of all the fun we had.I will miss my Saturday talk about how he loved to ride his hog.I know Joe and my uncle Jesse are taking that ever lasting hog ride together.
