Ted (Dad) rode yesterday, the day before his ?? birthday. You are lookin' pretty good for an old guy, Dad. You know people are talkin' aboutcha. They are saying you are having way more fun than is decent and proper for a man of your years. Yeah - we're all having a chuckle over that one. Keep in mind I didn't say how old - although a couple of your well worn phrases came to mind:
Old enough to know better... but still too young to care.
Older than dirt... but still kicking it off. Ha!
Have a great day and keep on keepin' on... you are an inspiration to us all.
And... keep on smilin'
This is Ted in 1952 or 1953 with a motorcycle club called the Kickapoo Kowboys of Wichita Falls, Texas. Ted purchased his first motorcycle in 1952. I believe he told me it was a 1953 Indian Chieftain. The bike over his left shoulder in this photo belongs to him.
The Kickapoo Kowboys of Wichita Falls, Texas were big participants in what was a classic motorcycle run in those days - the Ancell Ranch Run. Dad says this photo was likely taken in San Angelo, Texas in 1952 or 1953. Among members pictured here are: Pete Payne, Bill Federline (aka Stinky), Ace Elliott, Bill Myers, Barry Bebb, Willy, Huey, Frank Harrell, Charlie Jones, Glenn Patton, Robert Wilde, Bill "Roundboy" Guilliams and Ted "Frosty" Foster.
How kewl is that!!!
