Former Member passes


Check today’s (August 2,2012)  obits in “The Day” for Michael Swider. He & late wife Doris were members of NLMC in the 60’s & 70’s. Mike & I rode many miles together. He introduced me to “Joshua Town Road” in East Haddam which became my favorite M/C road in eastern Connecticut. Mike’s shop in Salem carried the Norton & Suzuki brands. Mike rode a Norton set up as what was called a café racer in those days. He rode in the “European-Style” including flat bars, jodhpurs, pot helmet & a leaning forward riding position. He would have looked right at home on the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea.
Please share with club members. Some old-timers will remember him.
