Wow, Turbodaddy - 40 years ago was when only real bikers rode bikes! My father and his best friend were stationed in Pueblo, CO, they were pilots for the Army in the late 1940's. Pueblo is near the base of the Rocky Mountains and there is some good riding back there. They had pulled over on their bikes on a mountain highway and a couple other bikers pulled over, too, and they all hung out for a bit. One had an Indian, and my father and his friend could not believe their eyes when they realized the guy on the Indian was Clark Gable - also a pilot stationed in Pueblo. Mr. Gable talked my dad's friend into letting him ride his Harley Knucklehead down the road and back, and off he went down the road while they waited, and they waited, then they waited some more. He did finally come back over a half hour later. They never ran into each other again. I guess that qualifies me as an antique biker I been riding almost 60 years. I even had one of the first AMA license issued. Learned a few years back that if I had still been a member I would have been in the hall of fame as a pioneer. Story of my life a day late and a dollar short.

Driving around in our home town i saw something (livestock-y) poking its head out of a van window. Low and behold it was a mini bull on one side and donkey on the other. I guess they travel around for a bull and donkey show.
