    The National Motorcycle Museum is a real treat. Pity it's a bit of a trek for me (but not as far as for Weems, of course!). I do, however, live only 20 miles from Sammy Miller's, so I can't complain too much! Have you been, Joe? It's definitely worth a visit and, if you're lucky, you may even see Sammy himself. He's as valuable as the exhibits!

    Did you get Weems into the Hinckley Factory? What about getting him over to the Royal Enfield Technology Centre? ...Can you imagine an Interceptor 650 with Weems Special Edition on the side panels of some sort of flat tracker or chopper? Now I'm beginning to wonder if the Sammy Miller Collection would also float Weems' boat?
    If the National Motorcycle Museum blew his mind, imagine how the Stafford Bike Shows or the "Normous Auto Jumbles" and Beaulieu Autojumble would have lit him up! ...lol Imagine introducing him to Allen Millyard! ....PMSL
    The North Coast 500, The IoM TT, Scarborough/Barmouth/Skeggy/Mablethorpe for fish n chips, Land's End to John O'Groats, or ANY ONE/TWO/THREE of the top motorcycle shows in Europe that are hosted in the UK! You could keep the Weems AND his family busy all year! (well, the spring and summer anyway!)
    A road trip across the continent, to visit Moto Guzzi, maybe do the big Faro Show in Portugal, see the Norwegian Fjords and D-Day Beaches (to honour historic military sites?) Americans are awesome to watch when you blow their minds!
    I love Weems' positivity, and he is far more educated than he makes out, but a FULL European tour would be excellent entertainment!

    Emily's garden is so lovely! I had forgotten how simple the motorcycles were in the seventies, there’s almost nothing on them. Compared to my 411 RE Himalayan the handlebars look particularly sparse, almost no controls at all. Perhaps when you visit the US you can visit The Barber Motorcycle Museum, it's very impressive . Given the recent events in the Tampa Bay area, I do hope Mr. Weems is ok, there has been much devastation.
