New Guy From Chicago Here!

[BOBBY TURNER]

Hello,
I will keep it simple:
1) My Grandfather had some speed records on the first Thunderbird to come into the US, after being modified by Johnson Motors
2) I purchased a BMW K100RS 20 years ago and still enjoy it.
3) Purchased a 1950 6T last year with 133 original miles and a full story from new. I am the second owner and have decided to ride it!
4) Just purchased a 1961 5TA Bathtub to make my first bike restoration.
5) I just told my wife last week that I am going to participate in the 2016 Motorcycle Cannonball. I have a couple years to prepare properly, including bike purchase.

Mr. Turner. Now, down to serious business. Congrats to your Granddad.
(sorry about your "roundel" addiction they have a shot for that)

Seriously, ANYTHING I can do to assist you in the Cannonball, YOU got it!

We need a Cannonball member for sure To date, we have had me ......a world class GOOF Ball, but certainly no Cannonballer. Mad respect for your effort and interest.

Welcome Sir.
