After three years Davey Do and I finally met up for a short cruise down the Great River Road. I'm happy to report that Bessie made it trouble free all the way from St.Louis, MO to Alton, IL and the Blue Funk is alive, well and coming along nicely! As for Dave and I, it was like we were old friends reuniting. Hope to do it again soon, buddy! cool

Here's a link to my pics of the day.

Agreed! Eric and I have so much in common: Our '51 Chevy pickups, Art, Bicycling, Motorcycle Accidents, and adoration for our Ladies.

I'd say we were just alike except that Eric is younger, better looking, the better Artist, more intelligent, more sociable, and has a better sense of humor.

Oh yeah- his truck runs better, too.
