I think it's kind of ironic that the Funeral home is a "1320" main st. Bo and Mike Grey had the baddest TF Z motored bike over 25 years ago, ran a 7.06 at almost 200

I remember going to G & G Kawasaki and signing my name to a corner of the poster Kawasaki put out " Our Bo is a 7:08" around the time of 10 with Bo Derek. When they changed out posters the guy whose name was on it took it home.

RIP Slo Bo.
