    Surprise in the mail

    When I was at Mecum and looking at the GS1000S for sale I got to talking to a guy that said he had owned one new...we exchanged stories and I told him about Wes staying at my house and showed him some pics.
    He said "put my number in your cell and when you get home send me your mailing address, i have something I want you to have". Said he wanted it to go to a good home.
    He got the t-shirt with the bike from the dealer....I tried to give him money, at least for shipping but he would have none of that.
    He is from Wisconsin and now I have to think of something cool to send him.

    dang, that is so cool !
    Rare stuff, expensive too.
    Best part of it, the guy wanted you to have it.
    Must have been a nice talk, discussing a shared passion.
    Those are the best.

          Dang, that is so cool, Trevor. You deserve gifts like that for getting to know Wes, and arranging for us mere mortals to meet and chat with him.

              Wow! Quite a trove. July 1979 Cycle Guide. I suspect every article, pic, even every ad is a walk down memory lane.
              1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

              2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

                  I'm guessing that stuff will be going in a glassed frame to be hung on the man cave wall......

                    Well maybe not on the wall....I do have a drawer full of Wes memorabilia though that this stuff will get tucked into
