starting Saturday weather here is suppose to be good.We were going to celebrate Easter with family but they all got 24 hour bug so staying home and do some work here.
Greetings to Boss Skinner, Regional Presidents, Patched Members, Prospects and Support. Had a great ride with RTO, Support Daneen , and Bryan a friend of RTO’s last weekend. Great weather for this time of year. Looking forward to even warmer weather soon, although that means a lot of work around the yard for a few weeks. Once it’s done I’ll be happy. I’ve been doing some work to get ahead of the game. Now there calling for snow Thursday into Friday, ugh! I hope it’s the last. Not much else going on here in the burg. So for now stay safe, ride when u can. See you all soon.

thanks for the post glad you all got together for some wind.
GREETINGS Brothers, Supports, Prospects and others!!
Well finally getting some miles on the Indian. Rode down to Bristol VA. Really good dealership there. And WOW, is Indian stuff affordable compared to HD. Way less than a Hundred Dollars for a complete fluids change. I also get a set of foot pegs, sure those were spendy, but they match my handgrips.
Also found out a Stage 3 upgrade is about half what HD charges for one.
So ya, I'm very happy with the Injun.
Did get bad news on the bumblebee. Seems the oil filter failed which led to a massive failure of the balancer. I hated to do it, but it just wasn't economically reasonable to put even more money into it. My mechanic gave me a decent offer for it, so I took it. Doesn't mean I'm happy about it, but I accept it, also the selling Black Betty. But I've got a wicked cool bike that could be the last bike I buy.
Singer is getting some time on her new to her trike. Doubt she'll be ready this year for either Iron Mountain or Needle Highway, but she should be okay for regular riding.
All's good here in my AO, or at least it seems to be. We're both looking forward to National. Oh, Boss Skinner, we may need a cabin spot. Pretty much looks like the RV is not dead, but clearly dying. :-O Don't mean nothin'

Great morning Boss Skinner, Reg. Pres, brothers, Prospects, & support
Well finally a day to ride, gonna be 68 & sunny. I'll be hooking up with prospect Rascal for a ride and lunch, heading out to a biker bar for some good food. we're going to wear our colors proudly today..
All is good in our AO, had a nasty cold last week, all good now. I was rejected for my disability by the V.A. for neuropathy, said I didn't report it within 1 year of leaving Nam, bullshit, I didn't report prostate cancer within a year of leaving and I was approved 100%, and that will be my main complaint. other than that all is well with me and D9 back here in Pittsburgh.
so until my next entry, be safe, stay healthy, and peace be with you all.
RTO..........................................out
Picked up some new bar yesterday, pre-wired so no hassling with running wires through bars and sharp elbows, I'll get these installed sometime this week. Next I have to get the TPS fix, it stopped working last riding season. H.D = $100.00

same weather here weekend looks better.
Good morning to all Patch holders ,prospects and support
I hope that what I see on the boob tube about people still being locked down is being blown out of proportion. If not, I really feel for those Brothers still locked down. I could not see my self surviving all that . I thank god I live in Texas ,where we are free to get back to our life's. Well enough bitching . Cant wait to see my brothers and meet the new ones.

Thanks for the post glad to hear all is well in TEXAS.Again and again THANKS for your and Dutch's work on the shirts.
Good morning to Boss Skinner, all Regional Presidents, the Patched Members, all current Prospects, and Support. Well hear it is almost midnight had to get up the dog had to go out and pee. I thought I should check in it’s been a while. Boy have we had some nice weather for almost a week. Sunshine and a hot day 31 deg. to high of 45-54 for a hour then back to the 30’s. Went and had breakfast with Radio a week ago Saturday. Went to get on the trike and the seat was frozen. Who would have guessed 7:30 in the morning and 31 deg. Thank god for heated seats, and heated riding gear. I road down over the hill for lunch last Saturday to one of our local watering holes. Sun out and so are the MC riders. Most of them had some affiliation with veterans. They were all in groups of 5 or more. One group of 10 or 12 was one that I belonged to some time ago, ( combat vets ). Their patch says vets helping vets. I was there about 2 hr. and during that time not a single person said welcome home or anything. When I left I turned around and loudly said “ to all you veterans I would like to say welcome home “ turned back around and left. You kind of get used to having civilians not say anything, but not your piers. Well enough bitching for one night. Everyone stay safe KILO

love it, good to hear from you and hope weather keeps improving,
Greetings Boss, Patched, Prospects , support , etc. All is good this AO. Well RP ED Stanley got his wish LOL we had a good rainfall for couple days past week, But we did need it. Now we are in 60's and high 70's through next week, But up about 80 miles north of us ( high country ) they are snowed in ! weird. Mouse and puppy are doing fine, Bought all kinds of toys for it and instead she would rather destroy our slippers and play with empty plastic water bottles ( go figure lol ). Can finally schedule covid shot, Had to wait cause of shingles shot, Dr said had to wait one month or would interact or weaken covid shot. Positive thoughts and prayers to all on mend. Hope all our NVMC family start getting some wind weather soon. All for now. Be safe all. ML&R NVFFNV

Greetings Brothers, Supports, Prospects, lookey-loos and well-wishers!!
FINALLY got some wind therapy, not as far as I would've liked, but far enough to clear some of the muck outta my head. So that's the good news.
On the other front, had to sell the bumblebee today. It just wasn't economically feasible to keep her. The balancer and oil pump had pretty much eaten themselves. There was no cheap option for repair.
My mechanic stepped up and offered to trade me labor for her, which, though I hated it, seemed like the best option. Don't mean nothin', it's just a machine.
Okay, more GREAT news; Singer got on her trike today and got some familiar with it. We were both happy she managed to get into third gear. Which is really quite an accomplishment for her. She had a really bad crash back in the 1980s that left her more than a little skittish about riding solo again. I'm hopeful by the time National comes around, she'll be able to ride with us.
We're headed out on vacation, (We're both retired isn't that vacation enough?) Saturday, got our 'rona tests back, we're both negative, got both our entry visas approved, so progress has occurred.

Hello to all Patch members and Prospects from Texas. I had two Nerve ending burn treatments on both sides of my neck so hopefully it will be better, still stiff from the right side last week. Going to get my Texas State Inspection on my Bike this week or next and looking forward to riding with Twin some and gearing up for the June National, might ride out to Western N.C. in April to visit the few Relatives I have left. May the Lord Bless each of you. Ride safe. Prospect RevMrBlack

glad to hear your getting ready to ride hope the neck gets well.
Greetings Brothers, Prospects and Support,
Had two days of dry weather in a row. Another day or two and the puddles will start to dry up. Must be Spring teaser.
Replaced back tire last week. You would think with all our technology someone could provide a tire with a bit more mileage.
Spent a few days tending my back. Just the normal Spring yard work strains and pains. Took a few short rides, still a little chilly in the mornings. Ready for Spring run.
Stay safe, warm and dry.

HANG TOUGH BROTHER WE GOT YOUR BACK.......
Greetings, Boss Skinner, Regional Presidents, Patched Members, Prospects, and Supports.
Sorry for the late response. Spent the day at the VA.
It seems my prostate has enlarged to the size of a small ball and slowed the flow from the bladder. Good News is the Cancer didn't come back.
They increased my meds and hopefully I won't have to go under the knife to remove the prostate. The problem being, that my heart might not be strong enough to handle an operation.
On the HIGH side, the weather is warming the roads are clear and baby girl and I are riding the wind. My AO is looking good. Hoping to see everyone at National's
This is THUMPER,

Do not understand all I do not know about computer shit.Awhile back I could not view our GALLERY page on a regular basis by just clicking on the word at top of page like I always use to.Now it's back working so I guess the ghost of illogical computer shit has decided to leave.
Weather here is getting better and I shall pull PEARL out soon and take her for a ride.
Daughter is getting remarried this Friday and I'm doing the ceremony may bring my shotgun along for kicks.Josh is a great guy and even rides a HARLEY woohooo.
I have taken my second vaccine shot a few days ago.Side effects where a low grade fever for one day.Still doing good no green color or any odd growth so your choice do it or don't.
Sent out a packet today to a possible new prospect in Pennsylvania sounds very interested.
New BROTHERS and Support members are still out there looking for a CLUB and someone to ride with.I believe we will continue to grow because of how hard our CLUB works and how GREAT you all are,THANK YOU.
