A note from Bill…

Bill Murar, at speed, on a CSC 150 somewhere near Lake Erie.

That’s good buddy Bill Murar in the photo above, riding a CSC 150 Mustang replica a few years ago in the Lake Erie Loop (a one-day, 600-mile endurance event around the periphery of Lake Erie).   That’s impressive…600 miles in a single day on a 150cc motorcycle!  Bill and I have stayed in touch ever since, and a couple of weeks ago I received this note from him:

Joe, thought you might enjoy this photo of my grandmother (Estelle Dadney) standing next to my grandfather’s (William Dabney’s) early H-D motorcycle. I had his photo superimposed above the bike. He was a pilot in WWI and WWII. Somewhere, there is another photo with (I believe) the same motorcycle with a sidecar with both of them. 

Enjoy!

Bill

That’s a great photo, Bill.  Thanks for sharing it with us.  Ride safe and stay in touch.
