Yea, mine is not there either but that's OK. The important thing is that he knows we were all there and thinking of him. Get well soon my friend.

Had to leave for Indianapolis today. Got just north of columbus and had to pull over for gas. I was in the curb lane in my company car. I was sitting at a red light before making the right turn when a semi came by on my left, blew the red and then cut it too sharp and the trailer smashed into my left from wheel. I am fine and my companies Dodge Carvan is not too bad. Left front wheel took most of the hit. It's actually drivable and I'm still on my way to Indianapolis. Something is screwed in the front end. Steering wheel is turned about 3/4 ways to the right and there is a traction control light on that won't go off. It's all good though and I'll be in India in another hour or so.

I'll tell you who it was folks. EagleEye went down. Joe Pat sent me a message about it this morning. I don't have any details but he sent me a picture and he looks to be OK. Was waiting for some X-rays but appeared to not be TOO bad at this time.

FANTASTIC my friend. Haven't had time to watch them all yet because I HAVE to get to Indianapolis today but will look at them later today. What a GREAT idea that was.

Some of you have worried about the weather. First of all, it has NEVER rained on MD. I simply don't allow it. BUT...what if it DOES? Nothing changes. We will get people in the dry one way or another. I have food ordered for 125 people and I can't eat it all by myself. So...even if you have to cage it, please come on. We'll still have a great time.

It's about time. http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2015/05/27/new-law-legalizes-three-wheel-polaris-slingshot-in-texas/

That is just very cool. I bought one of those (or similar) a few years ago. Got it running and sold it. Now you make me wish I had held onto it.

Added a couple of things to the list since I originally posted it. Some nice prizes folks and with only about 125 people coming, your odds are MUCH better than winning the lottery.

Of course you can. I think I have an old cracked Avon Venom here that I could sell you.

I think I've managed to put together some decent door prizes for Maintenance Day so bring LOT'S of MONEY. Seriously, for those of you who wish to participate, as usual there will be tickets available for the following prizes. I just stopped and bought a GoPro Hero3+ Silver as well as a handlebar mount and a 16GB memory card. Skydoc has generously donated a complete Stainless Steel Brake and Clutch Line Set for either a First Gen. motorcycle, or a Second Gen. motorcycle. He will make up whichever set the winner needs and mail it to them after he gets back home. Nanci (LuvdaLeather) has graciously sent a set of her excellent leather saddlebag lid covers for a Second Gen (RSV or RSTD). She is always there for us and does fantastic work. Starfan is donating the beautiful carb covers that he recently had made and took orders for. Slowrollwv has graciously donated a set of his carb and twinkie covers. Eileen as put together a handful of "lady specific" fun items as usual. I couldn't do this without her help. I have a couple of items (lightly used) that I'm going to toss in simply because I don't need them any longer. A Morgan Colortune, Yamaha magnetic tank bag, etc. There will also be the usual 50/50 drawing. Also available for anybody who still needs them are VentureRider flags, domed decals, small patches. Out of Guardian Bells at this time. Haven't come up with a ticket price yet but we'll get that figured out. Probably $5.00 per ticket for the GoPro, SS Lines and Saddlebag covers. $1.00 each for the lady specific prizes (small things), 50/50 is usually $1.00 per ticket. All these are subject to change after I get some feedback. The way we did it last time was to just pull the first number and let the winner pick what they want and then down the list.

You would have to show me those posts. I've never seen anybody claim that. Either way, it is absolutely not true.

Basically I'm out of them but probably have a couple here. Will dig them out.

Are you folks forgetting Eileen's Jello shots? New recipe this year. A mix of pineapple and cranberry Jello with Whipped Vodka. Great drink, should be fantastic Jello shots.

Sure did. I love it. Great job.

It was a GREAT day. Good weather, good friends, good food, a couple of good beers.

No, it's their parallel, upright six cylinder.

I do like it but it would have to have a tour pack and a better riders backrest. Also, the mid mounted foot pegs may not work for me. I like more of a cruiser position. Would be worth looking at but I bet it is a $30,000.00 bike.

No way would I have done that. I am the same person on the Harley as I was on the Venture. I try to be respectful of other drivers and if I were going slow for some reason, I would have pulled over to the side and let them pass. That being said, remember next week we are going to Quaker Steak for dinner. If you folks wouldn't mind staying WAY back on the way if I am leading. No reason for any Harley riders that we come upon to know that I am riding with you folks. And by ALL means....NO WAVING. That would be a dead giveaway.

I didn't see you at the end of he drive. You should have come on to the house and taken a break. We could have visited a while. Food is usually served around noon to one o'clock. Sorry, Eileen nixed the dancing girls.

Well in my humble opinion....that's one heck of a sharp motorcycle. WOW....

Actually that one is a barstool. I just thought it looked a lot like a mower and I could get by with that.

I don't know. I called him Bill. He didn't correct me but it may have been wrong. Yes, he says they are coming back. Nice guy.

Well folks. Bill and his sweet wife made it here safely. Had a cup of coffee and visited awhile and they are on their way home now. He was just scoping things out you know.

It's NOT this weekend though. Next weekend. The 30th.
