This may not qualify as Outboard History, it's about two olde pharts who had a great time attending a US Title Series race in Pleasant Prairie, Wi. Bill Hosler and I will be ninety soon, and we were...

Thanks Wayne, Steve and I made several more trips to Berlin and Europe also. One of the the best was when we went with Stan Levendusky, I believe in 1987. We hit Berlin first and then to Milan for...

This was Steve's boat I am sitting in, I don't know why. You can see the bow of my boat on the left.

I was reminded to renew this story a few days ago when Peer Krage sent me a picture of me at Grein. I will have to continue the Douglas Willey story without Steve to correct my memory. I arrived at...

Steve, And the bet you made with Dieter at dinner after water skiing. I think that was the same trip for Dieter.

Or have them contact Peer directly. Peer has a website for his...

All I know is that the motor belongs to Hans Gessner, who was, along with Hans Krage and others who started MRC, an OMC dealer in Berlin. Peer is trying to sell it for him. I assume it is an 850cc....

I suppose this is a good place to post this. On my recent visit to Berlin, Peer Krage asked me to see if there might be any interest in the bike or motor over here. I don't know all of the background...

Steve, You beat me to one of my stories about Dieter learning to dance. He was very good. He could even do what we called jitterbug. Shirley was really impressed. One story he told me and many others...

On occasions when I was in the factory, Margrit only filled parts orders coming in and got parts for repair jobs. She spoke no english and would not even respond to Guten Morgan. I remember once when...
