Iceburgh,

Thanks for the pics, I've been watching OCC all day today. The bike doesn't look as exciting as I hoped, maybe you have to see it in person....

At least it's all for a good cause.

Default Paulie Jr. was a part of my Engagement.

For all you OCC fans... thought you might get a kick out of this.
At a local car show where I had my Pro Street Mustang entered in and also for sale I had planned for Paulie Jr. to act as if he was interested in buying my mustang. After a long hot day of baking in the sun he walked over to my car and asked my girlfriend how much I was asking for the car. She was amazed that he was standing right by her (she's a big fan) that all she could say was "are you serious?". After she finally told him the price he said that he didnt have any money on him but he could trade me something, then he handed me a little box, right in front of her. I then proposed and BOY was she Surprised!!!


Here he is asking her about the price.

The trade is made and I put the ring on her finger.

She says "YES!"

The 3 of us. (and there she is still crying and wiping her tears. )

This is a shot of Paul Sr and our dog, "Taylor", that she took earlier in the day.
Paul Jr. was a real nice guy. That made a special day to us even more memorable.
