Ahhhh,, the summer of 14,,, ADVENTURE SERVED UP GORMET STYLE!!!!
Oldodge replied to cowpuc's topic in Watering Hole
Dang it Puc you got me in trouble again! I told her I just wanted to check something quick on the computer and I would be right back. That was almost an hour ago, so I am told. Seems like just a minute to me. I told her I was reading about Puc, Tippy and Tweeks again. She laughed, so I think I am still ok........................... -
Arrived yesterday. Great decals!

Several things stand out. The first: I used to be in an online Nascar type racing league. I was racing the night they contacted the trapped Quecreek miners. We suspended the race so we could all watch TV. Watching those men come up from that mine alive is the closest thing to a miracle I will probably ever see. It may have been a miracle. I have visited the site on my motorcycle and it creates a special feeling for me. The second: 9/11 I was at work and my wife called me saying that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. We gathered around a computer news feed just as the second plane hit and we realized it was no accident. My wife called back scared because military jets were flying around very low where we live. We later heard about Flight 93 and the tragedy in Shanksville, PA. Not all that far from home and another very moving place to visit. I must say the new memorial is beautiful but it lacks something, something raw, that the original makeshift memorial stirred in me. The third: Kennedy's assassination.I was too young to completely understand but my older sister was devastated. She was a huge fan of the Kennedy family. I remember her sobbing uncontrollably as my Mom tried to console her. We watched the news and funeral as a family.

First ride after three and a half months of healing
Oldodge replied to shuttlebug's topic in Watering Hole
That first ride after an accident is priceless. I went a couple months after I could ride because I didn't have the money for a new bike and I wasn't sure I wanted one. One evening my cousin stopped by to show me his new to him Softail and insisted I ride it down the road and back. I was gone a half hour, blew the horn and waved as I rode past him, standing in my driveway. When I finally got back he was sitting on the porch talking with my wife. She said "I know, I can see the look on your face. I haven't seen it in awhile. Just please, not a noisy thing like that!" I smiled just reading about your ride, because I understand and I bet you had that look too. I am happy for you Shuttlebug! -

Ok, I cant take it no more,, everyone else is avoiding this question but
Oldodge replied to cowpuc's topic in Watering Hole
I had a 440 Road Runner and a 340 Duster, 340 'Cuda too. When I was younger I was all about speed. This one has the "Leaning Tower of Power" 225 CI Slant Six. I bought a 360 to rebuild and put in it over 10 years ago. The 360 is still on the engine stand waiting to be torn down, that slant six and the flat head six in my '41 have grown on me to the point that they may never change. I like opening the hood and hearing "What is that?". Everyone has V8 engines in these things and I like to be different (some would say odd). -

1 Last Giant to Slay...Only Time Will Tell...
Oldodge replied to GolfVenture's topic in Watering Hole
Hero or zero. Had the pass been caught the play caller would have been a genius. It was intercepted so the guy who called the play is the goat. I wanted Seattle to win too. Who knows, may have tried to run and fumbled, sometimes it is just fate I think. -

Charharley that is an ugly thing to see, but it is reality, and if we are gonna ride, we have to understand that these things happen. Thanks for posting what have to be very painful images for you. Right now concentrate on you and healing. Bikes will be here when you are ready, the better care you take of yourself the sooner you can be ready. Glad you weren't hurt worse. Best wishes for a full and quick recovery...........Tim
