Neat bikes. Sorry to hear about your friend. I was too young to participate but I remember young men from my town going to vietnam. Iv'e read every book I could lay my hands on about it. I like just about any old machine, cars, bikes, aircraft, tractors, you name it.

Thanks for sharing that. My first ride was BSA 441 Victor.
