Well it's the day before show time and we are packed and ready to head to the show. For those unaware we are displaying my uncles 1968 Aermacchi / Harley Davidson 125cc record holding bike. He set the record in 1972 stock 125 class. We just realized it may very well have a second world record as well. We hope to find out more about getting a second record in Guiness becasue it was also.......
