(2,550 posts)I was heavily involved with motorcycles and racing them back in the mid 60's. Service manager in a large dealership in No. Hollywood. A mile from Universal Studios.
Bob Hope, Barbara Eden and her hubby, Michael Ansara were riders/customers.
The coolest though was a camping weekend with my riding buds up in the Mojave desert when a limo and attendant truck/trailer combo pulled up into 'our' canyon in the foothills we were camped in. His retinue parked about 1/2 mile from us, opened the back door of the trailer and unloaded several motorcycles, raised up one side door on supports, set up a BBQ and 'The Steve' got out of the limo along with some of his riding buds. They got into their riding duds while the crew prepared the bikes, then rode up to our camp and hung with us for a while asking for directions to cool hill climbs and scary trails to ride.
