DarTT,
I mis-spoke.
Jim Redman was a team rider along with Mike.
Nobby Clark was the lead mechanic.
Nobby and his wife stayed at 1 of the 2 houses that the CBX club rented for Bike Week. They had planned to stay at a hotel in Daytona for the demo rides for 3 days.
All the womenfolk grabbed his wife (I can't spell her name but I think it was Qauzie) and took her shopping in Daytona and Orlando. She had so much fun that she wanted to stay for the duration. Since all the motels were full, they asked around and were given directions to our pad.
They were given the master bedroom and we made sure that Nobby's beer hand never got anyway near empty and his wife was always out with the girls.
At the end of Bike Week, Nobby pulled out his wallet and asked how much? He was told no charge because he was a part of history and shared a lot of it with all of us. He got that teary-eyed look and said that he (and his wife) had never been treated so well in all their travels.
Real class act everyday guy.
