john mcgeen visit














I had an expected visitor this past week. John McGeen (one of my former students) and really great friend drove over from Greensboro. He was at the Science Museum working on a Harley exhibit that uses there new electric kids push bikes that was designed and built at Betty Brinn Children's Museum in Milwaukee where John works. John let me know that he would be down sometime, but we were totally stoked when John said he was going to drive the two and half hours over to Boone to visit after work one night. We didn't get nearly enough time to talk work, motorcycles, etc. but I was just glad he was able to visit the new shop, new house, and spend some time talking with Jill. We could not have made our move down here without John. He ended up moving so many heavy things and helping us load and make runs to the studio in Milwaukee. He also took all the things I couldn't fit on our moving truck!! I owe him big time! It was so excellent to see him! He sent me these pages from his Bultaco book so I could cross reference against some of the mods that have been made to my Pursang MkII. Thanks John; you're the best!

My buddy, John McGeen just got his Bultaco running for the first time after restoring it. I'm so happy for him. It sounds great!

mail from john



John McGeen and Yvette sent me a package in the mail a few weeks ago. It was so kind of them to put all these items from Flat out Friday and Mama Tried motorcycle show in a box to send to me. We rode together to the first Flat Out Friday when I was living  Milwaukee. I really miss hanging out with John and talking bikes, craft, and process. He's an old soul with an appreciation of all things old and he and Yvette are a match made in heaven. I totally miss my Milwaukee/Chicago friends!
