Coming Soon
Ray Koch was in the process of growing a third leg to kick my butt with for not fulfilling my requirement of bimonthly communicating. I glossed over that part, and just didn't pay attention to detail, I was focused on the part about the meeting in June in Piedmont. That is not an excuse, it is just what happened.
Things in LA are probably no different than where you are. When I was asked about coming to the national meeting, I was in the mists of flying or riding. I now know I need to change bikes if I'm gonna ride. My Gold Wing, FB6, is just to tight to ride 2K on it. I put on foot boards
and had the seat worked on, and mounted flip-out hyway pegs on the engine cases. I gotta tell ya', when I look at that group picture I see all the guys in my Helo squadron...I was in the first Helicopter Squadron in the M/C, HMM 362, (UH 34, Sikorsky) and I was the first black helo crew chief in the crotch. And since we're into ancient history, I was one of the the last Marines to go through boot camp at, "Montford Point," at Camp Lejeune. (Go to, "First Black Marines") or ("Montford Point Marines").
I started riding in the 60's in Iwakuni Japan and have pretty much been riding since then, I got my share of road rash, and broken bones, from the time when I was too stupid to know gas and booze do not mix well. All of my bikes have been touring bikes, a half dozen full dress Hogs, and some rice burners. I don't what made me think this short quartered FB6 would work??
This Corona crap reminds me of Typhoon season on Okinawa when we pushed the lockers up against the windows in preparation for the "big blow," only this time approaching getting Cabin Fever.
I'm outta' here guys, talk at ya' soon...Hands
