Default Re: New here, but not to Gordons music

Thanks, I guess I could tell some stories, but I have to be careful about what. Nothing bad ever happened mind you, but was sometimes private info. One story I could tell was about Rick Haynes's bus, he told me this years ago. I don't know if any of you ever heard about this and it might be old and not so interesting to some, but anyway, best I can remember, he had this bus, a Greyhound (I think, hard to remember), it was converted to a camper type. He was taking it on a trip or holiday, with the family and they were at Cape Cod in Massachusetts. They were at Provincetown and when he was turning around, he backed up onto the front of the main pier there, well he put it in gear to go forward and the flywheel let go on it. He was stuck on the front of the pier. The flywheels on these busses are huge and weight over a hundred pounds and take a lot of work to fix. Needless to say, Rick did not have a good trip. I think he probably got rid of the bus when he got back home. I guess he could laugh at it now, but back then he wasn't too happy telling me the story.
