I recognize the plane as one from the 314th fighter squadron. At least i think it is. I was attached to the 314th when i was stationed at Luke AFB in AZ back in the 80s.

Thank you for your service.

I prefer to turn it around and say thank you for allowing me to serve. The 10 years i spent in the Air Force were some of the best years of my life. I should have done 10 more but when Clinton came into office....well...i had real issues serving under him.

My wife and I race motorcycles, which is how we met. (She's a 2-time New England women's champ.) We got married on our bikes in the woods surrounding our house, racing to the altar from either side around our (startled) guests. That morning she'd just given me her wedding gift: a new Italian Beta racing machine, because she didn't think it was right that her bike was so much better than the old Yamaha I was holding together with duct tape and prayers. So this is our official wedding picture, taken right after the ceremony. She's holding up the grease stain on the hem of her dress, which got caught in the chain when she dropped the clutch and it almost threw her over the bars. Right after this she took that number plate off and threw it backwards to the gathered single ladies instead of a bouquet, and attached her new plate with her married name to the bike. We then left to honeymoon at a racing bed-and-breakfast in TN. This lady likes to ride.

I think I posted this one before, but it shows the Rucker ambulance that served quite well during the Civil War.

But a Sherpa T is a Bultaco

You're quite correct, it is.

My dad was a top trials rider from the mid-60's through the 70's (after he switched from enduros). He was good enough that he got factory support from Bultaco, and in fact used to correspond with Senor Bulto himself after they developed a bit of a friendship. Needless to say, then, my dad rode Bultacos exclusively. So when I graduated from my little 90cc Honda into the adult divisions, my dad gave me a Sherpa T that I think had been a factory test bike which Bultaco gave him.

That Sherpa T (the model previous to the one you pictured in your next reply) was my first, and possibly still greatest, love. And you never forget your first love, right? So I made it my handle years and years ago when I first went online, and still use it to this day even if the bike itself is long gone.

I'm impressed you picked up on that.

That's Geoff Aaron, multi-time US national Trials champion who now competes for Red Bull in more speed oriented events. We came up through the New England Trials Assn. circuit together....and he blew past me and everyone else into national prominence. Really, really nice guy in addition to being a preternaturally gifted rider.
