Neyrinck Lorenzo stopped by my shop today and I told him about Irwindale and should go. I guess he went. I saw him at EBI in 2007 in Belgium and from there he started his venture. Was good to see. What a journey he has had. Even took his buss on the Bonneville Salt flats. What a time he has had. Now he is headed for Argentina. WOW!!! Dave Rhoads

He mentioned you Dave he was thrilled to of seen you again. He told me the story of when he first met you he was traveling with some friends and happened by your shop on accident and saw your bug sitting out, he burst out to his buddies that "That was Dave Rhoads bug!" he said he made them turn back. One hell of an adventure for one hell of a guy!

That was about 10 years ago. There was about 10 of them with their wives and girlfriends. We really had fun. Took them to Bravo Burger and also DKP cruse night and whereever else was having a gathering. Everytime we went anywhere they would change somebody riding with me. Great bunch of guys. Glad I made friends with them. Dave Rhoads
