[Bob in LA]

My late father-in-law, Walter Reiff, was a hill-climber and dirt-track racer on an Indian as a member of the Tri-City MC in the 1940s and later became a cross-country tourer on a BMW.
I have inherited a box of Walter's patches, pins and news items that reflect his MC career. There are close to 100 pins from AMA & BMW meets dating back to the very early 1940s.
It is my understanding that his home club, the Tri-City MC in the South Bay no longer exists. So if someone else has suitable home for these items, I would be glad to donate them.

SFMC would be probably a solid call.

Paging SFMCjohn to the Bob in LA courtesy phone.

Good on you Bob.

Condolences on Walter's passing to you and the family. :rose

Wonderful to hear about your father-in-law's motorcycling history! :ride
