[Contest - new venturerider cap]

Hi Don, just been busy with life and work. Thanks for doing this.

[Rest in Peace BongoBob]

Hi all..Been off the grid for awhile..

 

Got the sad news of Bob's passing.

He was one of the happiest guys I have ever met.

Always willing to lend a hand....

You will be missed big time buddy...

 

Prayers to Becky and the family.....

 

Here is a couple of my favorite memories of Bob from MD 2011...

[Orlin's Maintenance Day]

Thanks to Orlin and Sharon for hosting another great event..

 

And to all my friends and especially you Candy, I apologize for getting there late. And more importantly, it was very selfish of me not to call or text.

It's nice to have friends that worry and care..

It won't happen again..

[Where is Spring]

'Bout done with the white stuff.....

[Totaled My Bike]

I kept trying to tell you that your too old to try out for the X-Games..lol

Real glad Slim wasn't on the back.

 

Awesome news that you will have a full recovery.

Take it slow buddy.

We'll catch you and Shirley down the road....

Rest up and heal quickly my friend.

[Black Owl]

So sad to hear this news.

RIP Black Owl.....

 

Red1,thanks for getting the patches..

Shari and I will take 2...

Thanks man.....

[I may have to eat my words.]

The south is ready.

They have their one sander ready for action.....LOL

[My riding season.....as well as mu hunting season, are over.]

Rode the ambulance from work Tuesday morning to the local cardiac care hospital , and on Friday had quadruple bypass surgery. Home now for a 6 week recovery.....can't lift anything. Got some awesome scars though!!

My riding season is over, Deer season done, bear season done......glad to be alive but man, my freezer was in need of a venison restocking!!

Glad your on the mend.

Tell Hal to step up his game and fill your freezer. Lol

[Well here is another one of my most embarrasing moments]

Could have been worse Eck.

You could have dropped your phone in the drain pan.

Sorry buddy,the Bike Hopper made me say that.

[New Members/Trial Members PLEASE READ]

Sounds like that cop couldn't find donuts at a donut shop.

 

[Thanks for coming to Maintenance Day]

Had a great time as always.......

Did the gravel pit tour on the way home.lol

Congrats to both of you..

[Thanks for coming to Maintenance Day.]

A big thank you to Orlin and Sharon for hosting another great get together.

Great rides and awesome company.

And for all the folks that left early this morning,you're doing it wrong.

We pulled out at 14:30 and stayed dry the whole way home.

Cowpuc and Tippy.it was great to have met you and hope everything goes well tomorrow.

 

And Bill,Bill,Bill.I reckon you didn't get the memo that the 4th of July is next saturday.

We are so glad that you and Jim made it thru ok.

 

Thanks again to everyone that showed up and contributed to a great rally.

[Orlins Maintenance Day Head count]

And news flash,we got a new bigger tent so we won't have any problems getting the air mattress to fit this year...LMAO

[I'm Smitten]

Sure,I'll be that guy to dig up an old thread..

Check out these amazing kids.

This teacher really runs the school of rock....Pretty deep song for young kids,but the singer nailed it.

[Up towards Northern Michigan]

Can't go wrong here.

Been a few years since I've been up there,so I can't say how pricey it is now.

Always alot of bikes touring up there.

[Tommorow is the big day....]

Jeff,sorry I just caught this now.

Great news.........

Real glad your on the mend.

[Heated Gloves ONLY]

Amazon.com: Heated Core Heat S2 Gloves, Battery Powered, Men's Black L: Sports & Outdoors

Not cheap,but no cord to mess with.

 

I use Hippo hands with just a light pair of jersey gloves....

[The Great VR Scavenger Hunt]

I am thinking with snow up North we should change the target to any horse and buggy. What do you think?

 

Sure,that works for me........

[The Great VR Scavenger Hunt]

Running out of idea's,but let's try,

You,your bike and a Amish horse and buggy....

I realize this eliminates our west coast riders,but we saw one today and thought it's doable.

[The Great VR Scavenger Hunt]

Here ya go....

We went out and got this target in @A1Bummer old stomping grounds.Thorp,Wi.....

Cost me dinner and cocktails with the BikeHopper........

Priceless.....but 44 degrees on the way home.

[Extremly close deer encounter at Galeana pictures]

Took ya long enough to post those...
