[Nobbc] [Fwd: Call for entries to the Marin Sonoma Concours d'Elegance May 17th 2009]

[LGardini]

Yes sir guilty as charged.
I rode a Guzzi Lemans in the late 70s and a hot rod SR 500 for a while in
between the Guzzi and a CB 900F followed by a Honda 750 Interceptor which
Woody dropped on the floor of the Norton garage the first night I had it.
Then a BMW GS 100 made a few N. Star rides.
What kind of cars are you driving now?

Interesting idea, could be worthwhile!....BTW, are you the same Larry
Gardini who was in the S.F. Northstars MC back in the '80's??  Was a member
myself back then, rode a BMW R90S...
