“At the Laundromat I instruct Chris on how to operate the drier, start the washing machines and take off for the other items. .. I get everything but a chain guard. The parts man says they don’t have one and don’t expect to get one. I think about riding without the chain guard for what little time is left but that will throw crud all over and could be dangerous. Also, I don’t want to do things with that presumption. That commits me to it.“(Cont.Next)
South Business District, Grants Pass, OR. The Grants Pass Directory for 1968 shows Polluck’s Marina & Cycle Shop at 70 Highway 199. I believe this address is now given as 70 Old Highway 99, which Mapquest shows as one mile North of the Rogue River on present day NE 8th Street. As stated in the next caption, this is “down” from the Polluck’s to the welder’s shop. I did not notice a motorcycle place in the downtown area. I am sorry to only offer here a “generic” photo for this ZMM passage. Since this is a fairly large town with plenty of evident change since 1968, I did not attempt to locate the ZMM Laundromat. Instead, I concentrated on finding all I could about possible 1968 welders and possible 1968 welding shops.
