Nope, no MP issues this time but than again I had motorcycle MP escort.... :D
But lots of thumbs up from people, horns being honked and waving the trip to the parade and back.
Stayed away from Ft Bragg this trip and did not get hassled my the Hope Mills P.D. either, although they were all there checking out the Bike and the CCKW. A good parade and hauled vets from the VFW. I had the A/C on high the whole day as it was 96 degrees. (windsheild open fully)
Gotta love the wool shirt and overseas cap on days like that......
ATW,
Doc Britton.

While neither vehicle has "air conditioning " in the modern sence they both use the more enviromentally safe Natural free air flow system no fans or parts to wear or break !
Enjoy the Sun and the friendly people along the way !
