    No worries Joe,
    I was just giving Cory a bad time. There is no competition on the articles. Herb does a phenominal job of both writting and research. I'm just a general contracter; editing inputs from various experts and contributors.
    Still waiting for my copy though, RF.

      Got mine in Sarasota, Florida today. The survey results look quite interesting.

        I received my summer issue in Central Indiana today. Excellent articles by Herb Wagner and Bill Wood. It was not surprising to learn that only 12 % of the membership have cycles that are pre-1920. The low attendance of pre-1920 cycles at the meets has been the real indicator as well. Unfortunately, too many of the early cycles have found homes in the many motorcycle museums and high powered collections across the country.

          You are so right. The very motorcycles that the founders of the AMCA tried to bring back to the awareness of history are now back in obscurity, (although like talbot-2 said, that obscurity is plush mansion, or climate controlled bunker). I sure hope that changes in the future.

              You called it right! Egg all over my face for sure, and of all places to screw up, an easy Harley question! Sorry about that. I inadvertently dropped in the wrong image (an Evo). I guess it's time for new glasses! It's a good thing I didn't quit my day job.

              I'm stocking up on canned goods and will soon go into hiding. Don't expect to spot me at Rhinebeck as I will be in disguise.

              On the flip side.... I'm glad someone is reading the quiz!

              Did anyone look at the trivia quiz? The trivia quiz editor obviously doesnt know the difference between a shovelhead and an evo motor.....

              just made me shake my head when I saw it.

                Summer issue

                Got mine in N.Texas yesterday(31st)Like Loyd my wife was testing me on the quiz and on #5 I knew the years and the nicknames but called 5c an '84 Evo. Missed #7. Its hard. All foreign bikes,but when the wife said I missed #5 I argued as I knew I was right. Even she said the picture was not a Shovel. We owned an '82 Shovel(FXR) for 13 yrs,then bought a 1996 Evo. Really enjoyed the quiz. Keep it up.

                  Red Fred!!! I can't recall even once saying to myself " I shouldn't have wasted my time reading that!" So, I guess I enjoy your articles too....
