I took the day off work to roll around a bit. At one of my stops I met a couple of guys who wanted to take some pictures of my C5, Then I answered a bunch of questions they had. That's when they told me they put out a local magazine and wanted to use the pictures and do a small article in a couple of months! I can't believe the attention this bike gets ;D
On the eighth day God created the C5, and it was better looking than anything on the planet.

  OOOOOOhhhh, no you're a celebrity.  Suppose you won't want to talk to us commoners anymore.

Br. Dannie, if you can find the time between the TV interviews and the trips to Hollywood, I would like to ask you to please consider sending me an autographed copy of the magazine when the article is published about you and your gorgeous Rosie!!!  :D

Cabo, if they actually do print something I'll be happy to send you a copy, you can hang my picture in your garden to scare away the birds :D, but Rosie always looks good!

I probably know who those guys are.
I bought a blown Bullet engine from a guy that works for a small magazine for bikers in the Little Rock area.
I forget the name of the magazine, but they are based in that area, and they like Enfields.
The guy met is named Robert.

I know who you are talking about, this is a different group just getting started. More of a local intrest type of thing I think. I called the guy about that blown engine, but it was already sold :D

Br. Dannie, I'll hang your picture next to the one of me; it's been hanging out there in Graciela's veggie garden for years!  :D

The guy I met was Rod Lawrence from the Ozarks life magazine, I remember the riding south mag, it was pretty good as I recall.
