GUESTBOOK

Good morning Boss, Patched brothers, Prospects, and Support. I wanted to let you know RTO is in the hospital dealing with COVID. I’ve been keeping touch with D9 for updates on his condition, he’s having breathing issues due to clots in his lungs. Yesterday I heard he is improving a little at a time. So I ask please put RTO in your prayers. I will keep you posted on his condition when I hear anything.
Not much else new, going to be busy thru the holidays. I sneak a ride in occasionally when it’s not raining, but there getting far and few.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Take care and God Bless

Hello Boss Skinner, Patched Holder's, Prospects and Supports yesterday was a great day got my scoot back after a week it was great feeling the wind on my face again never realize how important wind therapy is now see how gas mileage improves. Today is granddaughters 3rd birthday. Monday is a trip to Laughlin with my brothers. Be safe out there brothers

Greetings Boss, Fellow Patched, Prospects, Support etc. Well Boss, Body finally said enough, Going to three wheels. Picked up a one owner 14 Tri-Glide Rushmore ( 6941 miles ) Two toned, Blue and black. Can't wait to give it a good run. For now am doing some upgrades. Getting rid of air shocks and going progressive coil. What really made me smile is I am replacing the 103 TC water pump with the 2021 tri glide style. The 2021 pump fits all 14 to I think 18 water cooled models. So she will be apart in my garage for couple weeks. I don't mind, Better than paying 145 a hour labor . Can't wait for the 22nd, Brother Steamer, Myself, Notrob, Linebacker, and Boogie are doing a over niter in NV. I will be running chase in wife's jeep. So I will have pretty much anything we need just in case. All is doing great our AO . Hope all had a great Veterans Day. Positive thoughts and prayers to all on mend. Stay safe all Shiny up-rubber down. LLRBF NVFFNV

To all Marines out there, Happy Birthday, SEMPER FI

Greetings Boss Skinner, Officers, Patched Members, Support and Prospects.

It was great reading everyone's SITREP this morning. I appreciate your thoughts, comments and candor.

I don't have much new to report. I'm riding often here in AZ and I attend NVP, Steamers coffee and Saturday breakfast with Boogie and those that make the ride. The SW crew lead by Steamer is the best group of warriors I could have hoped to be standing alongside. Thank you guys for all your support, I know now I don't have to fear being left behind during my waning years.

Today I'm feeling different then I have in years past with Veterans day coming. I've walked, ridden horses, driven military vehicles and yes played drums in a school band through so many veterans day parades I've lost track. This year I will be supporting a veterans group for the first time. I hope all of you have an opportunity to support our brothers and sisters in your own way. God bless you all, stay safe and ride with a purpose.

V/r,
LINEBACKER

Greetings and Salutations to all Brothers, Support, and those looking in.
Happy 246th Birthday to the United States Marine Corps!
To our Brothers who everyday demonstrate Corps ethos, it is an honor to ride among you. Semper Fidelis!
Veterans Day is upon us, so make sure to spread the love to those we know or meet- something we do everyday but is especially important today because you never know how much a smile and handshake a veteran needs when they reflect on their service and those they miss.
The weather is as usual here. Sunny one minute, a gully washer the next makes for interesting timing and duration of rides. Morale is good, even with the BS that makes us want to move into a cave and roll a bolder in front.
Lastly, I will do better in due diligence with posting here- I get distracted with social media as club communication.
11th hour, 11th day, 11th month- I will raise a glass to all who served. If you can, try to watch the 100th anniversary flower display at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier- it's a once in a lifetime event.
I wish all full fuel tanks, a bike that always cranks, and your Brotherhood I always give thanks!

Hello Boss Skinner, National Officers, Region Officers, Patched Members, Prospects, and Support!

Boss Skinner is right, the new Prospects are doing some serious posting. I caught up my reading & felt inspired after my absence seeing the interesting things that Brothers have been doing.

It was a big letdown missing this year’s Annual Run. Crashing off a BIG Roundabout in Terre Haute was hard on the Freewheeler (total loss) & me. I was in the hospital 3 1/2 days & didn’t do much for 4 weeks. The broken collar bone & 3 broken ribs have healed & I’m back in the gym 3 days a week working out. I’m back in my routine of Acupuncture, deep tissue massage, eating healthy & taking supplements to deal with Agent Orange aches & pains & other disabilities.

I bought a 2021 Snake Venom Green TriGlide Ultra in June to replace the Freewheeler, it is a much better trike. 2022 should be a lot of riding. Doc Gonzo wants to do some trips, we are looking at BikeTober Fest in Florida, riding Dragon’s Tail in NC, the Annual Run & maybe one more short ride to some place TBD. In 2020 & 2021 the NE & SE Regions rode together on a couple of rides which was great to hear

If anyone is coming through Indiana next year you are invited to rest stop at my place in Spencer, Indiana.

That’s all for this post. Peace Brothers & watch out for the Roundabout’s!! Haha

It's been raining pretty steady for a couple weeks, so I parked my scooter till spring. Nothin much else happenen now.

Good evening Boss, all my Brothers, Prospects and Supports! I have been tardy in my posts for which I do apologize! I made the move from beautiful Montana back to Idaho for the winter. It was with many mixed emotions. The wind is howling this evening and what’s left of the leaves is now on the ground. I have been riding as often as possible. This past year has been full of great times with my Brothers. I play back the Northwest spring run and National run I made with Brother Dutch almost everyday! What runs they were! Thank you all my Brothers for the great times we had. I hope all of you are doing good. Brother Grumpy is always in my thoughts and prayers. I have no idea what is in store for the future but I hope to see everyone in the new year! Stay safe my Brothers! LLRBF BD

OK I am going to try again. Good Afternoon Boss Skinner, also to our Vice President, our Regional Presidents, also all the Patched Brothers, Prospects, and to our great Support teams.

This time about two years ago I came across a motorcycle club guest book. I started reading some of the entries. What was wrote in these short letters impressed me enough to ask if I could become a prospect with them. To my surprise the local president, was someone I had worked for almost twenty years. We also lived only a few miles apart.

I enjoyed my prospect time with the patched brothers from this region. I had a great time at our spring run. To finally meet some of the guys that had wrote the stories in the guest book. I was impressed with them, as much as what they wrote.

I think I started my spring run a little early, well the summer run for nationals kind of got off on an early start also. Radio, and I left home the 13 of April. We road to Portland, Or. Where we picked up another Prospect Draco? This got one of the major requirements out of the way. From that point on I was on my own until our spring run, and that was the start of my 3 mo. 11000 mile bike ride. On this ride I rode through 19 states, 5 more than once. I can’t say this was ever on my bucket list, but I am glade it made it there anyway.

Jest before this trip started it was my birthday, and my daughter asked me how old I was. I told her 77. She looked at me for a moment, then said no you are over ¾ of a century old, and you want to do this. It only took a second to replay. If I wait another year I may not be able to do it.

This ride let me ride with men I wish I had known all my life. When they use the term “BROTHER” it comes from the hearts of every one of them. Even as a prospect I was shown that this group of people really do care about you. Late one night after becoming a prospect I started feeling that I would become a millstone around the necks of the members of this club due to my Parkinson. I wrote boss Skinner asking him to withdraw my application for membership. This man answered me back a whole lot faster than I can type. You are a Nam Vet Brother, and you need a better reason than that. No man is left behind. If we need to pick you up in a car, we will do it. Thank you Boss Skinner, and thank you to the rest of the members that helped me feel accepted.

I could go on, and on because I have jest scratched the surface. I think I have wrote enough for tonight. Keep the rubber down, and ride on brothers! KILO
