To all the friends and family of Bub.
I had the privilege of meeting Bub in 1978 on a Harley Davidson Dealer party in Hawaii. At the time i was 26 and had been a HD dealer for only 3 years. Winning the Hawaii trip was a big deal back then and i did not know anybody. anyhow Met Bub and we hit it off. We rented scooters and drove to a remote part of the island, drank too much, got sunburned.And both crashed on the return to "make the evening gala"
It was unforgetable. As was BUBs trip to my place in Maggie Valley just 9 years ago. He rode straight through 750 miles and said "whew- that was farther than i thought" I love that man. Respectfully Dale
