Wow! Via a friend I just came across this photo of il padrone in 1985. Very nice photo but sure dredges up old memories.

Oh! A Vetta helmet and...are those Vuarnets?

Isn't it great when unexpectedly found photos become Time Machines?

Lookin' good, Man!

Best,

Dan.

Just googled Vuarnets. Something about the design got me thinking..... about the bedside table. I just went a-hunting.... and came up with the very same sunglasses that are in that photo :o. They have no Vuarnet logo or engraving - just a cheap copy, but they have all the features of the fancy French design.

You think that even back then the French were getting their fashion wear made in Taiwan?
