HUNTSVILLE Goings On (by Erik Bahl)
The Knucklehead is back on the road – and Dorsey’s got a new one burning up the pavement too!
Dorsey and I met on Sunday March 29th for lunch and some road testing of two bikes that were in work over the past few months. Lots of repairs on the Knucklehead have happened since the Cross Country Chase. I was real excited to get this work done and get her back on the road. Dorsey has a Harley VL that has been a project bike for several years. He finally has it on the road and is dialing in the oil pump and enjoying some riding. We did a couple hours of riding in the local area on one of those rare nice days we were blessed with. Thank goodness winter is wrapping up – cabin fever is setting in. I want to report the ride went well for both bikes. So, I think we are both ready to attempt some club rides or a possible AMCA Road Run.
Riding these old bikes can be tiring – Dorsey took some time for a roadside siesta!
I captured Dorsey in a rare moment where he is educating the younger generation (me) on how real men drink Harley Oil! Man Up!!
CROSS COUNTRY CHASE Presentation to the North Alabama Vintage Club.
I will be giving a presentation to the NAVMC on Saturday April 4th at the Blue Plate Café 7540 Memorial Parkway in Huntsville. This will start at 8AM and I will have a short slideshow and presentation covering my experience on the 2019 Cross Country Chase. This happens over breakfast and the rest of the day is wide open. Afterwards we could convene to the Bahl Compound for a tech day or do a local ride. This is up for discussion. So, mark your calendars and plan on coming to Huntsville.
