MCPHERSON, KANSAS

What a beautiful day to ride. Temperature couldn't have felt better, and there was no wind, something unusual for Kansas. I ended up riding almost 70 miles by the time I arrived in the town of McPherson for lunch with #000, his wife Carrie, Jungle Jim, and Arlyn.
After lunch, we rode across the street to the motel, with several FSSNOC members having already arrived and standing in the parking area. The Thumpers just kept coming up the drive, and by the time we were ready to go to the McPherson College, I'm guessing we had registered 25-30.

The college tour was great, especially the assembly of the Model T in just a little over 10 minutes. This is a great program the college offers, and teaches the students every aspect of car and motorcycle restoration. Click the links below and to the left to watch the video's of the Model T assembly. If I did everything correctly, this should work.

This is what the Model T looked like before they started the assembly.

One of my favorite old cars, a 57 Chevrolet

After the tour we met back at Krehbiels Meat Market for some delicious BBQ.

It really seemed strange leaving everyone to ride back to Thumperville this evening, but I'll seem them all again tomorrow morning in Marquette, Kansas, for some more fun, more good food, and ThumperCafe #30.

See you tomorrow,
Motor Mike
