Make a list and I am sure I can get some of it if not most of it. Take care and be safe. Steve aka Bubber PS I don't envy you being in that part of the world.

Yammer Dan Posted August 19, 2009 Share #8 Posted August 19, 2009 Good to hear from you Jeff. I took "Ugly" out for over 1200 miles last week. Didn't that help you?? Couple of bikes wanted to see if a scoot that old would still run.... They are quite sure now. Then there is the story of the bear that took my gloves. Someone said his name was "Yogi" I'm still watching for him. Left his mark on "Ugly's" seat. Hurry up and get home so we can go riding!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SledgeHammer Posted August 19, 2009 Share #12 Posted August 19, 2009 Hey Jeff, IT is good to hear that you are doing OK. I told you what a hell hole the entire Middle East is and now you know. At least the money is good, but you earn every penny of it. Let me know what you need from over here. I will be looking forward to a ride and ice cream with you. Also, the Thompson is doing good. Take care of yourself and sleep near a bunker. Sledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugfish69 Posted August 19, 2009 Share #14 Posted August 19, 2009 Glad to hear you are doing ok. Don't be afraid to try the Coke. Wendy and I are Pepsi people too, but when we were in Ireland the Pepsi did not taste right so we drank the Coke. Seemed like they were switched. Take Care.

PBJ Posted August 20, 2009 Share #18 Posted August 20, 2009 Hey Jeff if all you've got to complain about is funny tasting Pepsi then hopefully the year will go by fast. Just remember to keep your head down and don't let the brass get in your way. Good Luck. Hey don't they have any of those car wheel driven Russian sidecars over there? Phi.

Gray Ghost Posted August 20, 2009 Share #21 Posted August 20, 2009 Not to bum you out, but the smell will stick with you awhile. Good to hear you are settling in. If you want, we can take your bike apart and ship it to you a piece at a time. Should have it all to you in a couple of years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo Dude, Nothin' tastes right with whiskey in it except a glass with ice!!! But knowing how much you drink, send that addy and you'll get plenty of Pepsi (gag!). We missed you (and especially Mini) at Vogel. No fried tacos was a shock!!! But I got to play with; and smoke some sport bikes. Take care over there and don't lift any veils!
