I’ve actually been there. Back in ‘85 went to see a fellow named Leroy Thumma about building an engine for a Triumph Bonneville that I was try to restore. Long story short, the bike was stolen ant the engine build became a moot point. I lived in Warsaw, Illinois at the time.Little town called Anamosa.
