Hey Hon, Do you recall all those years ago we watched a crazy new version of football - " the World Championship Gamel" and how we all laughed and laughed that this would never be a hit game. We were all at Bob and Esther's house. The name change to Superbowl came to be in 1967. Well, guess what?? Tonight is it's the LVI game, and it is between the LA Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals. Who'd a thought? Miss you. XXOO
Happy LV Valentines Day tomorrow ~ love, Sue

Hey Frog, I bet a lot of people are glad you didnt let your dad talk you into being a doctor instead of a master bike builder.

Frog, Great rapport we had for over 40 years. I think about the parties at your C.H. house and the Christmas parties on Warner Rd. and the hours of shop talk all of the time. You were a good friend to everyone in the biker community. May you ride in peace.
PS. maybe you will hook up with Shep and Tommy K. (T.K.)
Your friend, Rock (AKA Ricky Rocket)

Mike hung with his big brother Pat, Steve Burge and me at an early preteen age. We started with Wizzers and escalated to Cushman's. Mike went steps ahead with Harley's and created one great business.
Mike was a real joy to know!
Our deepest sympathy to All of his family.
