Default Pretty Good Day!

Struck out early to make the Thunder on the Smoky Rally, just to raise money for the Kansas Motorcycle Museum in Marquette Ks.

Guy @ the show promised sunshine later, so I entered the Bourbon-Glide, just to get a really good parking place. Only 3 classes, so I was up against some competition, including a fully restored 49 Indian Cheif w/sidehack, and they only gave out plaques for the top two.

Anyway, Bourbon-Glide pulled 2nd place to the Indian. I was Pickled Tink! I rode her in, knocked the bugs off and pulled 2nd to a bike that was trailered in and back home.

Thinking about adding a trophy shelf in the living room. Got a 2nd place trophy from AHDRA Reg. race in GB a year ago and a 1st and 2nd in the two shows with the Bourbon-Glide!
