When I got to Texas after we pulled out of Vietnam & Thailand and the rest of the area, the first thing I bought was a m/c from Eddie Hill's Fun Cycles back in early 1975. We, Bill & I, also brought back some gems and sold them to Eddie's mom & Eddie..When Eddie & Ercie got married back in the 80's, I was a WFPD motorcycle officer and was present at Eddie & Ercie's wedding as a witness with Officer Mendoza, another motor officer. We signed their marriage license on the back as witnesses along with the preacher. (they did that back then). We then escorted Eddie & Ercie in Eddie's Black Lotus around town & then back down to the Fun Cycle Shop. And yes, Eddie did have a parade permit. Above is a pic of Eddie Hill & I 25 years later at the Fun Run.
The crowd at the South side if Eddie Hills. Lower left are: Trish, Debbie & Sissy

My daughter Amanda rode with me that day & had a blast. My other daughter, Amy, rode with her soon to be hubby Dustin..She had fun but not being used to m/c's, her butt was hurting after the short 92 mile run..Here is a pic, out of sequence, of Amanda & me heading for Stop 4 in Wichita Falls. This was taken on the Lake Arrowhead Spillway.
