Greetings and Salutations to all Patcholders, Prospects, Support, and curious souls looking for a home.
All is well with us here during this interesting time. Most of the idleness is filled with collecting Intel that may influence this AO and the broader reaches we visit or abide in.
No politics as I don't need to tell you all what's happening- but we're ready and steady come what may.
Support Stephanie (Baby Girl) and I have been sticking to the back roads getting her some seat time to practice for her DOL mandated endorsement classes this weekend. She's a natural and enjoys any time spent in the wind on HER bike! (Paid off)
My bike still needs a front tire, it's in my mechanic's shop until he gets the time. I keep the bike under 100 mph until I get the new rubber- Lol!
Because of this virus thingy, there's not much else to report except everyone on this end is feeling just capital!
Thomas Paine say's it best about the character of or club, "I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection"
We are all that and more!
I wish all good health, measured wealth, and on the patrolled highways- stealth!
Virtual hugs for all-

Greetings and Salutations to all
On our anniversary I went in to to see Ellen,had flowers sent to her and wanted to check them out,well got off the scooter went in and some lady who walked right by my scooter backed into Pearl.
Thought I would shit but Ellen kept me under control and we really could not find a scratch.Front brake handle and mirror were in need of adjustment but all in all Pearl was okay.
Tomorrow heading up to get part for side x side trying to get a few miles on Pearl so I can get her serviced before EAST run and Patch-in.
Felling good hope Doctors give me a release so I can
be back in school with my 400 kids.
Just seen on TV that in Missouri at Southeast Hospital they have the only 4 Doctors in Missouri that can do a new hip replacement surgery with a new device.Suppose to be the Cadillac of replacement devices.
Okay ride them iron horses like u stole it.

Hello Boss Skinner & Grumpy, Patched Members, Prospects & Support! All is well here in the hills of Southern IN. The messages I have been reading leads me to think that everyone is doing pretty good. Busy right now butchering Cornish Cross chickens. Got the leather bibs put on the fenders & gas tank of the trike. It looks really good & is protected now from gravel chips, etc. Also had it Ziebarted. I have 3 or 4 things to do to the 1988 SoftTail then it will be road-ready. I traded the Yamaha Bobber for 2 new rifles. I have a chopper being built that may be ready for the Missouri trip in September.
For anyone who has Medicare with Part B & Tricare (I think) HUMANA has a deal where you can get a partial rebate of your Part B every month in your Social Security check ($50 I think but your insurance guy can confirm the amount; also they have a $45 per quarter benefit for over-the-counter health & wellness products). There is no cost to you for this benefit. The health products benefit carries forward until you use it. They have a web page at HumanaPharmacy.com.
If anyone needs a free Service Dog, they help you train it, see the Working Dogs for Vets page on FaceBook. Training is done in Tennessee & at your home.
Just hoping the Virus goes away soon!
I will see some of you in Beckley 8/22 & others in Missouri the end of September.

looking forward to both.
Good Morning boss Skinner, patched members, fellow prospects & support, It's been awhile, so I thought I'd check in. While cruising down I-75, Thunder and I. We were passing an 18 wheeler, when I saw that smokey had some poor soul pulled over on the left shoulder of the road. Well, Ohio has a move Over Law. So I complied with the law to the best of my ability which wasn't good enough for the trooper. I now have a trial date set for next Monday. Wish me Luck.Other than that everything is fine in the Buckeye state. Anxious to see everyone in West Virginia. Till then, stay safe. Thumper Out.

sorry to hear about your encounter with smokey, I think most states have the move over slow down law now.See ya soon God willing and the creeks don't rise.
Greetings officers, Patch Holders, Support and Guests.
2020 sucks, ( in case you didn't know) No Spring Region Run, no National, Fall Region run is most likely like toast as well.
Brothers Radio and Cluch dared to get out and visit me for a few days, so appreciate getting with my Brothers. Radio went on to visit Brother Top and visit family far and wide. ( good on ya Brother)
Had a couple of non Club friends from Virgina call and were to be in Idaho Falls. So you guessed it Herky went there (750 miles rt) sadly the best so far this year.
Shooting to get up into Washington in Sept when its cooler and get some face time with our NW Brothers.
Many of us been dealing with illness and such. Continued prayers for soon healing.
Ride long ride safe.
God Bless.

Greetings boss Skinner, patched members, fellow prospects & support,
Hi everyone, I so enjoy reading every ones comments, it's enlightening to know how we all have adjusted to our current situation, life is good and God is great.
D9 and I have been doing a ton of riding this year so far, from just a little 200 mile adventure up river to a 20 mile local ride, the new CVO Limited is running great, put hi-rise bars and Vance & Hines slip-ons, had 36K on it back in March and now I'm around 8K.
looking forward to the end of August and not trying to rush summer, to meet some of the members down in Beckley, WV, I love riding down in that area, the roads are so awesome and riding through the mountains is so life lengthening, wish I had a camp there or even lived there for that matter.
I got a new member in my household, a 7 weeks old kitten, she is such a joy to have around, she reminds me of life back when I was young.
well just wanted to let all know all is great in my AO.
peace be with you all, and Doc Gonzo and who ever is headed out west at the end of this week, be safe, stay healthy, and enjoy every second of your life like it's your last.

AS THE SAY RIDE LIKE YOU STOLE IT.
Greetings Brothers, Supports, Prospects & well-wishers!!
Well here it is August. On the one hand this year has seemed to fly by; on the other many are praying for it to end hopeful 2021 will be much better. I too am hopeful for a better 2021, without riots, without plagues and without so much hate and discontent.
Singer and I are setting out for Sturgis. It will be her first time and it's going to be GREAT. My Brother Kenny, whom some of you met in 2018, will be there and we'll be sharing a camping space with our ladies.
After Sturgis, visiting other friends in Wyoming & Colorado, back home and the Fall combined regional. I still need to hear from a couple of Brothers if you'll be able to make it. I'm hoping you will.
Best to all, ride 'em like you stole 'em. I know I will be finally.

WOW CONGRATS AGAIN.
Patchholders, Support, Prospects and well wisher.
The last time I wrote an entry we were headed to see the great grandson race.
Here are to results a fourth and a fifth. During practice he had a nasty crash and I think he was still feeling it during the races. We had him practicing the next morning. He was doing good on his home turf.
Love and respect.

I was not aware that the NAMVETS has a membership of around 500, "cause that's about the number of congratulations I got when my membership was finalized. I truly thank you, it means a lot, especially on the personal side.
I'm outta' here, Hands...

Greetings Brothers, Prospects and Support.
Just returned home from tour of the Northwest Region. Great get together in Idaho and Wyoming. 4200 miles of rain, wind, heat and road construction. Nothing beats being a Nam Vets Nomad. Rode in all four compass directions and for some unknown reason never found a tail wind. Alls well!!
Respect to all

Greetings Boss, patched, prospects, support. I'm not only patched in, I patched on, thanks to the AZ Steamer! He trucked my stuff (patches & Certificate) 500 miles to Palm Springs CA., where I met him, as we broke bread together. I spent 20 years in the Crotch (that's USMC) over a 24 year period of time. There is no band of brothers like GI's, and it feels good again! The poor timid souls that neither know victory nor defeat, will never know, feel and have, what you and have!
Greetings Boss, patched, prospects, support. Mouse and I have you in our thoughts that blood draw shows you are clear Boss. And thoughts to all those on the mend. Feeling great today, Finally found another Springer, ( 2000 FLSTS ). Always had a soft spot for carbureted Twin. Upgraded cam shoes are done , Next is 96 jugs. But that can wait, Tomorrow doing a 60 mile highway run just to burn some of the old carbon out. Have two stops planned for sports water, cause going to be hot. Glad to see other brothers getting wind also. All for now, Ride safe all. Gearbox. LLRBF NVFFNV
