Glad to hear all are safe and at home,don't ever remember having so many things go a miss on a run before.Hope those in recovery mend fast.
I am pleased to hear all of you saying how much you enjoyed the National meeting.We sure had some fun and ate very well I would have to agree with all on that.
Myself I want to thank all for all the help I received from the Prospects and Support.Patched Brothers stepped up and filled in when needed as always.
We have some great new Officers and I'm excited about our future.When we decided where and when we will have our next National you all will be informed.Remember all have the obligation to offer a place they know will accommodate our CLUB needs.We always have to make it late in June so our northern Brothers can make the run.
I just got home from SRO school so I have a lot of stuff to catch up on.Fix mower pack bearings on trailer and get oil change.
Kanndis is not doing well at basic,covid hit her group and she has a 101.3 temp and ankle is fucked up also.MRI in the future and she may be sent home.When shit hits it really hits.Hope to hear more from her soon and hope they take good care of her.

Good evening Boss Skinner, "my Patched Brothers, any Prospects that may be at large, and our fantastic Support crew!
Well I guess I need to finish this part of the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey would say. It starts with a phone call at 09:30. It was what Herky and I was waiting for ( your bike is ready ). The old boy that helped us out came and picked us up, and drove me to the shop. Thank God for people like him or I would still be setting in Maxwell MO. Herky and I were chomping at the bit to try and catch Radio, & Clutch. So much for wishing. I think we made it to Saint Jo. Before we stopped. Herky ordered enough Chinese food to feed a whole MC club. Then all he did was argue with me about who got the king size bed. Being a good prospect I let him have it. The next morning I woke up around 0500. I woke Herky and said let's hit it. He opened one eye and said we can't because he has no head light. We piddled around until day light, then went down and had breakfast. It was then I was told that his head light was ok. We finally got going and were the last ones to make it to the national. The truth be known I don't think I could done any better for someone to stay with me than Herky. THANK YOU. OK we know what happened at national, so I will end this episode of the rest of the story, until I get some more time. It sounds like most everyone has made it home OK. So ride safe brothers. Kilo

Had a great time at the Nationals. Finally got to put some faces with the posts I read, and just want to say what an awesome group of brothers, I am so proud to be a part of. Boss and Ellen awesome job. Really beautiful place, good food. I want to thank the patched members ( at the time ) for not being to hard on the prospects. Hahaha. Had two great roommates, Grump and Thumper love you brothers. I just wish I had more to time to really talk more to everyone. Really enjoyed the Vietnam Memorial. Looking forward to getting together again. That’s all for now, ride safe, ride often. NVFFNV
Morning everyone! Finally home with a good nights sleep. Trip home from National was fairly calm with only about 90 miles of rain, then off to Wisconsin for the grandkids graduation. Busy weekend with lots of activities.
Glad to hear everyone is finally home safe.
National was amazing and I enjoyed every minute. Thank you all for excepting me into the club. It was a pleasure meeting everyone and I am proud to call all of you my brother. I want to give a special thanks to Boss Skinner, Steamer, Dutch, BD, RTO, Doc Gonzo, Thumper, JC and finally my fellow prospect Rascal that rode on my “initiation ride to Arkansas.
I will try to keep you informed on what’s going on in my AO, and will be looking for new prospects.
Thanks again for the acceptance into the club, you all were incredible!

SPECTIAL THANKS to President Skinner, and Ironbutt for putting on another GREAT NATIONAL RUN; thanks also to everyone who lent a hand with setup, cooking and tear down.
Best wishes for quick healing and inexpensive repairs to our two Brothers who did not remain an upright riding position.
Brother Hands, really hope to see you at next year's National, I'm sure you'll have plenty of great stories to regale us with. Best of luck on your documentary. Sounds GREAT!!
Well Hell's Bells Toppy.
Expected to be home today. Not happening. Tomorrow (Monday) isn't looking good either.
We stopped for a tasty lunch as I was feeling a bit peckish and figured Singer was about ready for a nic fix. Had lunch, back on the road. Well almost. I'm leading and Singer is way back on the on-ramp. Well damn, she's STOPPED on the on-ramp. I walk back to find the coach is totally dead in the water. Genny running so that's cool; lights working, also cool; but won't run or even start. What's weird is that all the dash lights come on appropriately, when I turn the key to "start" I call see the amp drain from the starter, but it won't engage. Connections are all good as are the batteries.
Anyway, got towed to a local big truck/RV repair shop but they're not open till Monday. So fingers crossed, it's something stupid simple. But everwhat it is beats me.
Oh icing in this cake was there were NO local motel rooms. Something about a big race here in town this weekend and Olympic try-outs up in St Louis. We did finally find a room about 20 miles from the coach, but at least we found one. Singer was not amused about a prospect of staying in a parking lot without a water connection (no water = no toilet = HUGE problem) for the weekend and winding up in a motel anyway.
It's all good Brothers! We're safe, dry (well I did get wet today riding back from the coach to get a couple of things and check to see if it would miraculously start again, it didn't.
As I said, I hope it's something stupid simple that'll take two seconds to repair and get us going again.
I hope I didn't wear anyone's eyeballs out reading this.
Best to all ML&R LLRBF

Greetings, Boss Skinner, Regional Presidents, Patched Members, Prospects, and Supports.
Well I finally made it home, the wind and the rain got the best of me and I had to stop in Indiana for the night.
I had a fantastic time at Nationals. The new prospects made a great addition to our ranks. And I can truly say we are, A Band of Brothers.
The week went so fast and was so much fun, I just can't wait for next year.
Sending prayers for Grumpy and Zoot to make a full recovery.
Also praying that all our brothers to make it home safe.
Till we meet again, keep it upright and between the ditches.
This is THUMPER saying, I'm over, but Never Out.

Greetings to all Brothers and Support, both old and new!
As you depart from the NR 2021, I wish you safe journey and smiles from the memories you've been a huge part of this week and year!
I hope the experience of our Brotherhood has filled in some voids left in you after returning to the states and the treatment from society you had to endure.
We represent the best American had to walk in the fire both in Vietnam and at Home. Our mission is to never let that slip from the memories and history of this country, to remember our fallen, and to defend any veteran or generation undergoing treatment like was given to Vietnam Veterans- Never Again!
I wish all a safe road, light load, and a journey well rode!

It's 0230 so top of the morning Boss Skinner, Regional Presidents, Patched Brothers, Prospects and Support. It looks like this prospects going to take home the golden toilet lid. All the money that I have dumped into this bike over the last three weeks, I thought it would run forever, but sadly no. There is a town in Nebraska called Maxwell, population 326, and If you ride a bike and you brake down in Maxwell, no one will come to Maxwell to hall your bike to a repair shop. AAA tried for 5 hr. with no luck. A local man "Ben", stopped to see if he could help. He called a friend who has a repair shop. He also had a trailer that would carry the bike. When AAA could not find anyone, Ben called to see it he could get his trailer and pick my bike up. His friend was 70 miles away at his son's ball game. The man drove 50 miles back to his shop, picked up his trailer, then another 20 miles to Maxwell., so we could load the bike on. Now this all started around 1700 hr. It's now midnight, the man's wife started calling every motel in town. Everyone was booked full. The last place had one room she got them to hold it for ten minutes. They drove me there, made sure we got the room before they left. It's now. 0130 and patched Brother Herky stayed with me. Twice I had to save him from being carried off by mosquitoes. We got to our room, by now with no food no water, eaten alive by mosquitoes, we both looked like we had walked off the set of the walking dead. It's now after 0600 and the rest of the rest of the story will be told tomorrow. Ride safe everything works good hopefully I will see you at Nationals. Ride on, Kilo

oh BROTHER we will pray and hope things work out.
Greetings, Boss Skinner, Regional Presidents, Patched Members, Prospects, and Supports.
Congratulations RTO. I miss my shot, for a Sniper I shall never be. But I knew that one of my brothers would have my back.
I plan on starting out Saturday morning. I only have six hundred miles to run, should be an easy two day trip. Although some of it looks like it could be in the rain. Either way we'll see everyone very soon at Nationals.
THUMPER Over but Never Out.

Hi all! Twin and I are on our way home from Galveston. I'm distracting myself by making a post. Dallas traffic is crazy! Everyone had a good time and the water was great. JC and his wife are burned like French fries. Can't wait to see every one at Nationals!

well you missed it by one
Top of the evening Boss, Regional Presidents, Patched Brothers, Prospects, and Support. Today was the day I left Hot Springs, SD. To wait for Regional President Radio, and his band of merry men, to sweep through Cheyenne, WY. and pick me up on their way to Nationals. Today at 5 o'clock the temp on my bike read 101 deg. Two days ago it was105. I came to the conclusion that I didn't need my cold weather gear any longer, so that got shipped home. I hope we hit that 1000 soon because my typing is killing my finger. I hope everyone has a safe ride to, and from Nationals. Ride On

I approached the target with caution trying to get the best shot.
Was it a direct hit only time will tell.
Once again trying to bag The elusive 1,000
All is well in the AO
Stay safe my Brothers see you at Nationals.
