Jeff Decker at the Cannonball in ABQ complete with high zoot rain gear. Justin said he read somewhere Jeff dropped out later that day. No question it was a brutal day.
I was seriously wondering what the story with that helmet. Now I know.
I don't think that garbage bag meets Jeff's normal sartorial standards. The words "Form follows function" come to mind. I was curious who coined that phrase, because I think it's especially true of motorcycles. It was an architect named Louis Sullivan, about 1908:
It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic, Of all things physical and metaphysical, Of all things human and all things super-human, Of all true manifestations of the head, Of the heart, of the soul, That the life is recognizable in its expression, That form ever follows function. This is the law.

A postscript... Louis Sullivan faded into obscurity. His assistant did not, however. His name was Frank Lloyd Wright.
