Hey, how about a Ric version of Orange Co Choppers - filmed inside the Ric Factory. Imagine that! Now that would be a hit show ;>)

A. Hall, B. Hall, C. Hall, J. Hall, S. Hall Davis. Someone's going to have to fill in the gaps there, maybe even in alphabetical order.

No offense Mr. Hall, but I think the Soprano's have more family members working in their "business". However, I will always prefer a RIC to a dirt nap. Although, at times I'm sure you would like to have some of us take a dirt nap...

Good to see you on the board Ben.

Welcome to the forum Ben...look forward to your posts.
C'mon, we've got to know...any favourite models / colours?
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

I am named Ben, and if you adopted me then I could fill in the blank....oh wait, nevermind. Don't need 2 Ben Halls!

Ben, I meant to ask, what you do at the factory?

To answer all your questions: 650's and 4003's, Burgundy and Blueburst (don't worry it looks great), and factory supervisor... No, I don't know which one on the floor is yours!

Welcome Ben. Was Mary Chapin-Carpenter's blueburst a surprise for her? Why did RIC choose the Blueburst color for 2005? Were there any other colors that were strong contenders?
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Great questions, Peter! As a great admirer of MCC and her bluebursts, I was wondering about these things myself! And welcome, Ben!
