Kevin Schwantz at the Dallas International Motorcycle show

[Guest]

So I am set up at the show and out of nowhere KW walks into our booth. Very cool dude, we chatted for about 20 minutes about the GS he rode and the mods they made to his, even signed the tail piece!

That's awesome! Thanks for posting. Hey have you found me a Lockhart oil cooler for my 81 1100e yet?

What a treat to have Schwantz drop by. He was fun to watch, it seemed to me he either won or crashed! The stories of the rivalry between him and Wayne Rainey are legend. But they turned out to be friends in the end, nice to see. I guess you'll need to clear coat that tailpiece now.

That's awesome, what a day you must have had, congratulations!! Guess that's one bike you'll never sell.

Willie,

Maybe I can answer that for you, somewhat.

I noticed that logo on his (jwhelan, Joe) shirt in one photo matched the logo on banner in other photo.
Banner in other photo also has a phone number (can see if goto linked photobucket pic and zoom in).
That phone number leads to this

Some may call it "stalking". I say it is just being observant and resourceful. har har har

Do some SERIOUS research before anything is cleared over..may ruin the marker. I personally would take it off and wrap it to survive a nuclear blast.
