What a poor weekend, crowd wise, it was to head anywhere around Bandera. There were hundreds of HDs, Wings, etc, spread out over every inch of Bandera and Real counties! We hit the museum about 10 minutes ahead of the crowd but everywhere we went we were assaulted with 'life saving' straight pipes. What a PITE (pain in the ear!) The crowds came from an annual rally in Bandera, shudda stayed home. But on the positive side, Allen has a few new bikes since last time I was there. My favorite is an autographed Penton owned by a guy in Kerrville. I remember the Pentons from way back and a few years back had the opportunity to meet John Penton and his son Jack. What a guy! This bike is signed by John on both sides of the tank. The Ariel Square Four that I first saw in pieces in the back is up and running, beautiful bike. Allen said he bought it in boxes right here in SA, thinks it was one of a few imported by a dealer in Houston.
