Hi Ping, Gunnars story was too short! Man, I bet that guy could have gone on forever. I would like to have heard more from him about riders and the stories that went with them. I think you might need to get him back in the near future for a rewind show, pun intended. Plus you could maybe have him sit in on a new show and give his perspective of the event upcoming or going away.
Thanks Ping,
Pete
I agree with Peter. This was an incredible story and I would love to hear more. I was so intrigued by Gunnar and hope you have him back to elaborate.
