Anyway, my friend has known Sam since the old days, and says Sam used to ride a high wheeler everywhere. He described some other eccentricities that I won't go into. I can't vouch for the veracity of this story, but Sam did display a trike at the vintage bike event at Bushwhacker a few years ago. That does confirm a trend to eccentricity (although all of us probably display a bit of this trend too)...

Sam is cool as all get out. My daily rider is a 71 professional. I have ridden newer bikes but they just aren't as fun.
71 professional and a Sekine my gf will not give up on.
