He was asking 13k each at the rally. I never saw the ad for the reduced price of 9K for each. They were beautiful, but not priced for a quick sale. Lots of trailered miles on them now.

Yes, that was the greenie there. He was asking that 13k for each of them, not both. I talked to him quite a bit while he was there. He offered to deliver them to my house if I bought them. 13k was a few hundred more than what he paid for them both less than a year ago. I though he was a bit high on his asking price, so I declined. And let me just say, if I misunderstood his pricing, that's my bad. But I think I heard him right.

Plus there was WRNW from Briarcliff Manor. Small station, not a lot of power, but always playing great music. Do you remember them?

The Nightbird...there, I got the spelling right. She died so young. Then and now, never anybody like her.

And cooler too. That Wing must punch through the air quite effortlessly. Nice ride!

Looks like they make them in red too...

They went through so many phases for sure because of all the members cycling through. Here is one a year later after Green left and Kirwan came aboard. They did like to jam. This track could go on for another ten minutes, but sadly, it was cut to make room for other stuff. Its a great album though, one of their best. Kirwan left soon after with problems also. They have something for everybody. I loved Bob Welch's dreamy guitar and Christine's piano and soulful voice in albums to come. Those early days were the best. https://youtu.be/xzReLGYIJZc?feature=shared

I was 10 years old when Clapton played with them. I still had a year or two to go before I made the switch from AM to FM. It was a great time to switch though. Early days of NY FM radio were groundbreaking, with some of the best radio jocks in the business.

I'd like to get those work coveralls the chap has got on at around 1:14:45.

Running the engine isn't like putting miles on. The whole bike needs its juices flowing.

For the last 8 years my two HS buds from NY and I have made plans to hike at least two National Parks somewhere around the country during your SR weekends...usually 7-10 days. This year it is Rainier and Olympic. Next year our dates have changed. The SR is on my bucket list, and with no conflicts next year. I have a year to figure it out.

@GuzzimaxI guess you saw this above? https://www.facebook.com/share/p/At5RxW28az8PGoUv/?mibextid=kL3p88

@MotoKneeYes it is. It was Italian Day!

I'm sure the first few generations of transitor amps made very bright sound...not enjoyable to listen to at all. Your story is proof of that. Over time they have improved by leaps and bounds. I have a 35 year old Muse Model 100 that I have been very happy with as far as a warmer tone goes. I test drove a few before buying this one. It's no tube amp, but still sweet. It continues to pump out, but who knows for how long?

Wow, price keeps going up. I thought it was 10k a short time ago.

@Guzzimax, not sure what the UK market is, but in the US one sold a few months back on the Bring a Trailer auction site for an even $10,500. Maybe a year or two before another one sold for around 10k, same site. The one that just sold looked pretty good, but had a few niggles. I thought mine looked better than that one. You say they are rare in the UK. Idk exactly how rare they are here, but Coppas are around and for sale maybe once a year. But it has been said that only 40 came into the US...who really knows? One comment that was made after the sale of the last one was that it was the most expensive V11 ever. Not sure about that because I have seen Nero Corsas command some high prices.

Pardon my ignorance@docc, but what do you mean by crabbed?
