OMC History from 1977
Here is a letter, written May 27, 1977, that outlines much of the early history of the OMC.
The world famous Stelvio Pass in the Italian Alps on a rented Honda Africa Twin w/ DCT (Auto) transmission. Medium fast - mostly safe? - pace... In "manual" mode, shifting only with the left-hand paddles. I believe this was a serious advantage, as no clutchwork was required. 48 switchbacks on the front side, 36 on the back side. The first video is 9 minutes of pure motorcycling bliss, with minor commentary. I finally was able to do this pass, and 4 of us did it twice (almost inadvertently) on the same day: Dave Foyle, our "+1" and three OMCers; Brent & Tracy Snyder and myself. Bill Anderson met us later on this trip.
