We would check them out ever day and warm the engine up. There is one picture of Billie sitting on his in front of this garage. We would then go buy some food and go see some of the other riders and displays around there. <BR/>I remember even standing on the main street and seeing Ted Edwards driving down the street in his green roaster that had been Mickey Rooney's. There wasn't a lot of motors at the curb as now but enough to get excited of seeing. <BR/>I could tell some more but this will do for my first time on here. Maybe someone else will post.

We pitched a surplus Army tent in the sand dunes right up from the beach. Went Jackie and his other pitman got there there was six cots inside for us to sleep on and you could hear the Waves breaking on the beach.<BR/>Bob James 80nBob Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754096359553735067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211719113285546023.post-26481705762519183372009-03-07T19:47:00.000-07:002009-03-07T19:47:00.000-07:00Hello, Yes that is the two pitmen for Billie &...Hello, Yes that is the two pitmen for Billie & Jackie Armstrong from Springfield, MAss.<BR/>I got the number wrong.
