Clark,
Congratulations on your work and finished product. It is not only beautiful, but with a little help from you it won a GOLD. Beautiful bike. For those unable to make the trip you might post some pictures along with the award.

OK Ron - You have shamed me into learning how to upload & post photos.
I was shocked & honored to get called to the podium Saturday night at the banquet in Tulsa to receive an award for the bike that Don Burgess taught me how to build. The instruction began in 1973, and continues to this day. He was over my shoulder the whole way, and actually laid hands on several components including the porting, pipe, and much of the paint work. Many many days went by where I would look up & ask - "when does the fun part start?".
Now I know.........
