Nice to hear PA is noted on mc circles too. He was afterall, a bit of a celebrity in that field in the 20's and 30's. Too bad I probably won't have a chance to find that article anywhere.
This one here is by far the coolest bike in the world:

| I was at the car museum at Hershey in Jan. Check the motorcyle display area, there is a Crocker bike with a reproduction of one of Paul's guitars with the tailpiece. Also some information on their collaboration. Interesting how the motorhead/ musician connection continues to manifest. Craig Coffman. |
