That was really cool!! Thanks for posting it.
Roberts, or Hildebrandt?
I met Martin. We rode up to Chicago send him off before the '95 rally started. I will never forget the four of us riding Lakeshore Drive, with the Beatles (and other American oldies) blasting from his speakers, dancing on the footpegs of my Sportster.
