California Trip Part 4:
Monday

On
Monday morning we had to make sure Fred's bike got picked up to
be shipped back to Belgium and then we were invited to Joe McGlynn's
place for a barbecue, so we set off towards Santa Cruz.

Joe
lives in a beautifull house in Scotts Valley and behind this house
is a nice big garage full of tools! He has more than most bike
shops, especially sheet metal tools, so we had lots of stuff to
play with during the barbecue.

Some
of the projects he is working on: a Studebaker pickup sectioned
and chopped with a big Cadillac engine, a frame jig, various bike parts (1 or 2 of them designed
by me). Before I came to America Joe had asked me if I could send
him cross-sections of the fueltank I have on Cadbike #27, and he
had them printed out fullsize on a large sheet of paper. |

During
the barbecue we sawed out all the sections and made a buck to shape
the Cadbike #27 tank. Some friends of Joe also came by and we really
enjoyed ourselves talking bikes and cars, eating and trying out
Joe's collection of cool tools. |

One
of Joe's friends, Brian, invited us to come visit him the next morning,
if you like old American iron as much as I do you will really like
the pics I will show you next week....... |
