John and Bob enjoyed riding Bob's motorbike on which he would have his accident [July 29, 1966] and indeed there are many photos of them riding around on it and they remained friends

Sebastian had cause to play Woodstock by happenstance realising there was a gap as bands changed stage set up someone asked if he could cover! Not even having a guitar he asked someone to borrow a little Harmony and the rest is history! Soon everything turned to tie dye! (thanks largely to Catherine Sebastian)
