You will be in Awe in the fall.
As for WI sounds like a nice offer.
Can we see the HD museum and a packers game?
Marshal
I am sure that we could do that but, as fussy as I am about my cars, I would likely have to drive something else to those places. LOL
If you ever do get up this way, let me know. I will give you my contact info and location. We could certainly hit the HD museum and take in a GB Packer game. There is a town very near me that has two HD production facilities. They have tours there too. WI has beautiful falls too. Do a search for Fall Ride.

Roadblock, I had a 74 L82 that I bought new. I'll never forget driving that car out of the showroom and onto the street. I had died and gone to heaven. The realities of life (finances and a daughter who had no where to sit with her parents) made me let her go. I surely miss that car. As thrilled as I would be to get that car back today, your car would be an old man's dream come true. Thanks for listening to the ramblings of a fellow old man.

P.S. Wisconsin is a beautiful place. I have in-laws in Union Grove.

I am sorry that you had to sell your '74 L-82 car. I can imagine the torment you must have had over that decision. Do they still run the drag strip at Union Grove?
I have had thoughts of selling the car but, it has been with me through thick and thin. I am not in great physical condition. I have had several surgeries on my wrists and shoulders. The '72 has manual steering. I know that I could drive it but, not so sure about getting it into and out of a parking space. I will face all these issues this spring, until then, I love the car as much today as I did when I found it.

Drag strip still going strong. Not so sure about the kraut factory though. I haven't caught a whiff on my last several visits.
