Greetings Boss, Patched Brothers, Prospects and Supporters.
I'm finally pretty much settled into my New AO.
Sadly, all is not well. The state of Tennessee has limited my driving capability and I now need a walker to get around.
I guess after years of self-abuse it finally caught up to me.
For those of my Brothers that are seeking 100% disability. Be careful what you wish for.
There's a reason the VA puts you at 100% and it's not good. It Hurts all over and my and my daily prayer is to have the Lord take me home.
For my Bros that still Ride, Ride hard, Ride often, Ride Proud and let Our Colors Shine.
I may not be there in body but my spirit will always RIDE WITH THE CLUB.
love, loyalty, Respect and Brotherhood Forever.
NVMCFFNVMC............................THUMPER.

Love to you BROTHER be confident that we pray for you daily THANK YOU for your continued support Respect and BROTHERHOOD.
Greetings Boss, Patched Brothers, Prospects and Supporters. Hotter then heck here 116 yesterday and I was out in it riding a memorial ride. One of our Legionairs "Major" died on a Motorcycle accident went off the rode fell about 150 feet off a mountain. He was a member of the Capitol City Riders MC in Madison WI. Riding home afterwards I checked the temp it was 116 out. It wasn't to bad I had long sleeves my face was covered had a rag on my head and a chemical cooling rag around my neck but that darn Milwaukee engine just about burned my right leg off and I had a home made heat deflector on my right leg. So it should be cooling down now to 100% which is nice with no humidity. So until later stay safe. Still working on next year's Nationals

Greetings Boss, Patched Brothers, Prospects and Supporters, unfortunately several health issues precludes me from going to Missouri, hopefully can get back to riding next week. Was looking forward to seeing Skinner and Rebel would have been fun. Safe travels to them and everyone else on the road. Scooter

Greetings to all. One week from today Scooter and myself will be riding to Springfield, MO to meet Skinner for our fall run. We will be riding in the Missouri wall run and will end up in Perryville, MO where they have an exact replica of the Vietnam Wall! It is an awesome sight to see and the have plenty of activities for two days celebrating veterans. It will be a lot of fun and even more so doing it together with a few of our brothers.
I hope everyone is doing good and preparing for next years Nationals.
Stay safe and ride often.

good job BROTHER and Sister
Greetings Boss, Patched Brothers, Prospects and Supporters. On the road this morning have Doctor appointment at the VA. Found out they canceled my appointment till next week now it isn't until the end of Oct. How is it that they cancel it and your the one that has to wait longer because they are booked up. Oh well. So far about 23 people are showing up for next year. Andria and I are looking at Ft Tuthill just south of Flag. Hope to have that firmed up this month. We are also looking at rides and some individual activities for those that want to do other things. If you have a Federal Park pass make sure to bring that. Until later be safe.

road a couple of hundred miles yesterday to pay respects to a old friend,AMEN.
Greetings Boss, Patched Members, Prospects and Supporters.
In July had a member of our American legion fall to his death along a twisty road I can only imagine that he took his eyes off the road hit the guard rail and fell over 100ft. He was a member of the CCR MC in Wisconsin. He put his life on the line for all of us. We are having a remembrance later this month. Take care while on the road brother one mistake is all it takes. Until later.

Yesterday I took a ride to Glacier Park, 142 miles.
On my way home, somewhere near Columbia Falls, I was stopped at a red light.
Had a car pull up on my right, could only see the front end.
Then I heard a voice say "excuse me sir", I looked over my right shoulder.There was a young man with his girlfriend/wife ?
He said " I appreciate your service, I needed to say that".
I looked at him and smiled, said "Thank You".
The light turned green and he was gone.
Sometimes when you find yourself wondering , things like this happen.
There is hope for this country !
The story above is my reason why this MC needs to continue ....
Our Patch can still make a statement.

we need to get together somewhere some how
Greetings Boss, Patched Members, Support and visitors. Been a busy week full of military programs. Took our Huey from the VVA to the Veterans home in Warrensburg, MO., along with the traveling Vietnam Wall spent 3 days there talking to the Vietnam veterans. This brought back lots of memories, good and bad to the veterans there. Over all it was good for everyone to get together. Also had 3 Honor Guard missions to complete, it’s sad to see so many of us leaving this earth, but it’s great to honor those who have served in the armed forces. Weather has also been cooperative with temps below “normal”, which made for very comfortable riding.
Good riding wishes to all, and be safe.

WOW u been busy
Greetings Brothers, prospects and support.
Not a lot to report from my area. Summer has been nice but too many projects. They get in the way of road miles. Made one trip to Minnesota and a few local rides. Otherwise all is well with my family and myself. Stay safe and ride whenever you can.

Glad to hear from you BROTHER .Three wheels for me also but what the hell still got the wind in our face.
Greetings Brothers, Prospects and Support. We had aloof 90 plus days here in the burg. Now it’s cooling off some, nicer riding weather, but I don’t mind the hot days. I had my 1000 mile service done not happy with the service at this Harley dealer. They could not have done all24 points they’re supposed to do, my bike was done in less than 2 hours. I questioned them, but I think he’s full of it. Well anyway been out getting that wing therapy. Was looking forward to an event called Rally on Main Street in Washington Pa. And my daughter planned a surprise birthday party for my wife and her retirement party all together that day. Oh well priorities I guess lol. I hope everyone is doing good! So that’s it take care ride often ride safe

Greetings Brothers,
Well another Sturgis Rally in the books. Man, this one wiped me out. Friday, we went to up Rushmore as many in my family had never been there. My one Sister Holly, yes I do have TWO Sisters Holly, both from same Mom. Isn't life interesting? Anyway, she offered me the rest of her ice cream. As soon as I took a bite I KNEW I was going to be sick. Sadly I was not wrong. It really hit HARD on Sunday, I couldn't get out of the bed and was totally a useless slug getting camp broken down, pack up and loaded.
Three of us had bought new bikes, even though all of us already had perfectly good ones. I was the only one who'd ridden, so it was a logistics nightmare getting everything home. But we managed. Of course, that's what we do.
The good news is, I'm pretty much on the mend right now. But still feeling not totally well.
And, to top it all off, Singer had some sort of "medical episode" a couple of days ago. We're not sure what it was but ever what it was, it's postponed, or cancelled for this year, my Beartooth Highway trip.
Other than that, I'm just glad to be home, in my own bed with access to hot showers.
