DAD - No Helmet Head

Fort Collins, CO

Wichita Falls TX -- Mom sent this photo of Dad's hair. Says Mom, HE DID NOT WEAR HIS HELMET AND HIS DO RAG WOULD NOT STAY ON HIS HEAD BECAUSE OF THE WIND. SO THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL "NO HELMET HEAD". Ha! He was getting in rather late after a day of riding to Graham, TX and around Possum Kingdom Lake. Tim and I got a good chuckle out of Dad's biker head and forehead stripe. Tim is sporting a healthy forehead stripe himself. What is the biker term for that I wonder?

They [Dad, Kenny and some others] stopped for a root beer in a frosted mug at the K&N which is an old-fashion drive-in joint in Graham. Tim and I were surprised the K&N was still in business as it was one of our favorite places when we lived in Graham back in the early eighties. The K&N had been around for a good many years at that time. We remember the tater tots with cheese, the homemade onion rings and Tim remembers fondly the chili-cheese burger. The next stop was in Bryson TX where they grabbed a burger at a cafe (name unknown). Dad said his small burger was pretty darn good. Kenny had a larger burger that had three pieces of meat on it. Oh me! Tim would love that!

Dad's rides came to around 200 miles over the weekend which has his mileage near 11,000 on the Dyna. Coming up in the Wichita Falls area is the Compassion Run next weekend and the Medal of Honor run in Gainesville the first weekend of April.
