Mark, you know what... it just might!
Here's the story:
In 2008 I made this solo motorcycle trip and this is the root of the thread we are in. I visited many people and did so many things... it was absolutely beyond words. I was going through my divorce and I had the where-with-all to make a 12,000 mile solo bike trip.
Fast forward to this year: Do you know Antony Parchment? He is building a -7A in Michigan. He formerly lived in Maine and he is a good friend of mine. He moved to your area about a year ago and I have been considering visiting him on my way to OSH this year.
If I do make it up that way, we shall get together! If I don't... you GOTTA meet Antony! He is a HELLUVA guy and his precision and attention to detail is impeccable!
Sooooooo... do you like premium ales? Maybe bitter and hoppy? Are you going to OSH?
