Thanks Dave.
One of my best friends when I was a teenager was Hurtis Carr in Montgomery, AL.
He had flown 16 missions as a radio operator and top turret gunner in B17's.
Hurtis bought an old Triumph motorcycle while there and spent his spare time rebuilding it.
Upon return to the states, he was one of the first to open a Triumph dealership, where I met him in 1958, we remained friends until his passing in 2015.
