Glad you moved over the 21st century and can ride with the big boys. LOL:stirthepot: Does Renate have a gun in her purse when she goes into these casinos? She sure has a nack for taking their money. :banana::banana:Every time I go I have to leave a donation for thr poor indian tribe that can't afford the next 5 million dollar expansion.. LMAO. Oh well! Stuff happens. My wife tells me there is a car and bike show in North Branch on June 13th and I was going to post it in a seperate posting inviting people up and if they wanted to party after wards and camp out over night that would be good to. Hope to see your new bike then Steve aka Bubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minnmac Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share #16 Posted May 13, 2009 thank you all, i know it,s sincere. i really wasn,t gloating { too much} but it really did take a year of looking. it,s not perfect and needs a little work on it but i,m happy with it. dan, i wasn,t as lost as renate thought. i got caught in the yukon in a blizzard and had to run full chain for 300 miles to get to civilization. took me 2 1/2 days to do it but knew where i was most of the time. would be great to ride sometime. right now our only solid plans are PITP in sept and Octoberfest in new ulm in oct. anyway, back to work so i,ll say ride safe and be careful everyone al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispy Posted May 13, 2009 Share #17 Posted May 13, 2009 Al, If you get to Octoberfest in New Ulm you are only 30 miles from us. October is a busy month for us, but keep in touch on this. Maybe we can hook up. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
