Roy & Greg's Great Adventure |
|
| New
Mexico
MGNOC
Rally
1999
Greg Field and I rode from Seattle WA, to New Mexico and back again for the 1999 MGNOC National Rally. |
 |
| Both
of
us
were
on
'70's
Loop
Frame
bikes.
Mine
is,
or
was
originally
a
750
Ambassador.
However,
now
it
has
Lots
of
upgrades,
changes
and
is
called
an
Ambo
W/Attitude.
Greg rides an Eldorado, and I'll have to check for sure, but I think it is a '74 LAPD model. |
 Great bike at National |
| The Spiral Hiway in Washington is a "historic highway" and not used anymore, except by crazy motorcyclists. It was a total Blast. |  A small portion of "The Spiral Highway" amazing! |
| While
at
the
Rally
my
Clutch
gave
out
-
gone
-
Kaput.
I was fortunate enough to find someone selling used clutch parts! I was stuck and had to do a total clutch removal and installation. Greg was my riding partner, and he insisted on helping me do this job - all 6 hours of it. Now, that is a true blue riding partner ain't it!! I'd ride through hell with Greg Fields. Thanks Greg. |
We left the engine "in frame" parted and replaced clutch in frame. The flywheel was lightened and had the timing marks ground off. Sure made it challenging, but I had many volunteers suggesting fixes. In the end I had provided some great entertainment and did get the Ambo W/Attitude back on the road again. |
| Gregs
bike
is
a
1974
Eldorado
LAPD
model.
Nice
scooter
for
sure.

| Although Greg and I did get to take a few pictures both of us were more interested in having a "real vacation" and most often we enjoyed ourselves and forgot about taking pictures or writing. The old Loop frames did GREAT - as would be expected. | 
 |
| In Idaho we ran into some old friends Bill and Cheryl Hartman (Owner/Operators of the Boville Inn Idaho ), we hooked up for several hundred miles of riding together. Boy, what an unexpected pleasure. |

| Read the harrowing last days ride report, titled "The Black Wet" An Adventure, based on a real adverse segment of our ride home. |
