I explained to these French bikers who were touring the United States, that I took their picture earlier as they rode past.
"Please send them to us they asked."

He really traveled light by today's standards.


My Yamaha 305cc in 1968 where I worked as a Laborer in Sequoia National Park - loved that bike.
