A moto legend

22 Apr 2013 13:44

When I met Lou and Sax at the Brat Stop for the flag transfer, they were chatting with an old timer at the bar. Lou told me he was a Top Fuel champ back in the day. He rode 'Hogslayer' a multi engined Norton. Lou didn't mention he was inducted in the AMA Hall of Fame.
When I got home I Googled him and found this.

This guy has some stories to tell. Oh, and HE SIGNED THE FLAG!! :woohoo: I don't care if he didn't carry it, he touched it!

Unfornatley, no. I didn't know who he was when I was standing next to him and my phone wouldn't take pictures for some reason had I known. Sax or Lou might have one. There was a photographer there also, when his pics are published I'll post a link.
