Part of the crowd of over 150 cycles that braved the chill January weather and icy back roads to participate in the Gold Hunt. From
this point the riders went into the woods to search out spare parts. Parts were termed "gold’’ and had a dollar value for the lucky finders.

WINTER TOUR
Atsion, New Jersey
THE WINTER TOUR, sponsored by the Middle
Atlantic Motorcycle Dealers Association, was
held this year on January 23 and 24. Every one
of the participants who attended said it was one of
the best ever! Over 150 cycles braved the chill
January weather and icy surfaces of the back country
roads to take part in the various events.
Jasper Flint, Lou Mahan and John "Wop” Veresio
were the Winter Tour bosses this year. These three
active and hard working dealers deserve much credit
for all the effort they put into making this one of
the outstanding winter events of the year.
Bob holds the "valuable” burned-out bulb. He claims
his eyesight is weak. What if he had 20/20 vision?
