In the special test after the enduro, one of our riden, Duane Neese, crashed hard and broke five ribs. Because the use of a four· wheel drive was required, Jim Moses donated the use of his BLM truck and himself to transport ambulance personnel and equipment to the crash site and to move Duane to safer ground. The Barbenden West M.C. would like to commend Jim, the ambulllDtt personnel and cou~tless othen for aiding Duane when It counted most. Our heartfelt thanks to all who helped. o 00 0') ~ WIST BARBENDERS WEST M.C.
