So, I am on vacation from Africa, back in Rhode Island (wife's home state.) And I am about to embark on a side trip up to Vermont to pick up this Matchless G15-CS from its original owner, John.
I have known John for years over the Internet via a mountain biking forum, Ridemonkey. He followed my descent into motorcycle madness in India and Africa as I have wrangled an old Enfield into the machine I wanted (still in progress) and decided to offer me his own bike, so that I could be its caretaker into the future. John got the bike new in '65 when he left the Army.
So I have a truck borrowed and fueled, a friend committed to copilot,
and am fueling my own brain with New England go-juice.
Should be a five hour drive or so, so we're arriving to John's place in rural Vermont late. He has a camp of some kind we'll crash in, and tomorrow we get to the business.
Going to be an adventure!!
Standing by to leave when my buddy gets off work. More to follow.
