Hey All, If you're passing through Winchester, check out the Old School Museum,
110 E. Cherry St. (the main drag that runs east-west) one block northeast of
It's Charlies).  This place has some really cool stuff for a small town museum.  
They are open off and on but the number is 742-8090 for hours.  A good way to
walk off those pork T's and onion rings.  Semper Fi, Chez




Texas Motorcycle Seat (thanks, O.B.!)

Chez sez:  "Saw this on a Speed show a while back...woof!"

 From Kevin--I rode solo for years. Then the wife started to ride with short rides then longer and longer.  Went to Grafton late last year and I was told if we go any further, "we need a bigger bike".  So 11/20/2010, we picked up a new Ultra Limited.  We also didn't wait for the 1000 miles break-in; she was on at 63 miles and we rode 250 miles the first Saturday.  We're now planning 1000 miles rides.


Tombstone Hearse Company initially conceived these units as an alternative transportation vehicle that would cater to the families and loved ones of the over 11 million motorcycle enthusiasts,but now funeral directors state that a large percentage of clients using the motorcycle hearse have never even ridden a motorcycle.

                Expanding on this base, Tombstone Hearse Co. has become a prime choice for many Military and Police funerals and surprisingly even grandmothers due to the dignity and honor the hearses provide

 

From O.B.---this here is what ya get when you mix your Deere with a whole lot of beer and a little bit of time.  It do make Momma happy!!
