Well boy howdy! Hello all Brothers; Supports; Prospects; and well wishers!!
Finally back from my Summer gallivanting. Posted photos on FaceBook if you're interested. No NOT all of them, only 65. LOL, I took more than 750. YIKES
Shout out and a HUGE THANK YOU to Skinner, Ellen; LAAM, Donna; Grumpy, Geraldine (HAVE A GREAT Ireland trip Brother) for your hospitality.
Final total miles was 6,954 to and from my AOR.
The only glitch was bike developed electrical issues after California which I failed to recognise till I was well into Indiana. Luckily my Daughter's roomie is an automotive electrician and fixed everything up right. And I didn't even have to buy him dinner. I would have, but he had a date.
I'm glad to be back in my AO. I got Black Betty back from the shop yesterday. Man she runs like a scalded dog. Looked down at one point today and the needle was north of 90. A guy will get greetings from the Governor doing that sort of thing.
Looking forward to my next trip, short one this time. Down to Florida with my Brother Kenny whom some of you met at Sturgis. We're going down to meet our Sister whom we've never met.
Good times!!
Anyway, Brothers I've rambled on long enough

glad it was a safe trip I 'am sure we all envy u in some way for the ability to do what ya did.
Well Brothers I haven't been on here for awhile. Thought I had let you know I am still here! I am planning on making the fall run so I will see as many of you that show up! I do understand if you can't attend. I had so much crap going on in my life this summer I can relate! That is why I missed the national. It was good crap either! I hope it is finally squared away but time will tell. Looking forward to seeing you on the fall run! As always,peace and respect to you all!

Just got back from fishing with granddaughter. No fish but we had a blast. We were in Flagstaff, Az. where it about 25* cooler. Road the bike today 104* its still like a blow torch. Really enjoyed the meeting in Sturges, I keep thinking about all the brothers I got to visit with, and learn about the club.
I can't wait till next year. I feel like I'm home now.

Hello my MILITARY Brothers,
This post is for Military only. I have been thinking about time in Service. Some volunteered some were drafted. I myself volunteered for service. My Dad was a WW2 and Korea Veteran. When I asked my Dad should I go in Service he said do you love your country, I said yes! I went straight away to recruiting and was asked what do you want! I said I want to make sure the commies don't come here and change our way of life. Went to basic training at Ft. Jackson, S.C. holy crap what a trip, went to Ft Sill Oklahoma for Artillery training, then to Ft. Bliss TX for Red-eye missile training. Hoping for duty in Vietnam as I requested I was routed to Korea with duty in the 2nd Inf Division. Well my Dad said at least you will be safer in Korea than Vietnam having been there! I believed him as every son believed his father! All was well until a fire mission was called in the Uijongbu Corridor just shy of the DMZ! Went across the Imjin River to Fire base 4PAPA1 and commenced Fire Mission operations! The Fire base was only 2 clicks South of the DMZ. 5 minutes into the fire mission 5 North Korean infiltrators were detected in the wire and dealt with most ricketic! Things in Korea were not much different than things in Vietnam just not as hot! Not comparing duty in either place but hoping Korea will not be the Forgotten War as it has been for ages. Please don't forget all Korea Veterans!! Love, loyalty and respect!

Testing, testing, 1...2..3. Pfft, pfft, is this thing on?
Greetings and Salutations to all Brothers, Supporters, Family, Friends, and the observers from far and wide!
Hoping all are in good spirits, riding, laughing, and living the life.
The days of summer are waning, but that shouldn't slow us down or idle our rides.
We still have a lot to do, see, and represent the club everywhere we go- even in the winter months.
Keep your heads on a swivel, don't sweat the nightly news drivel, and let the naysayers snivel!

Been wanting to pay respects to the Nam Vets MC. Saw a group wearing your patch in South Dakota last June as I was headed home to Iowa.

South Dakota treated us well .... Welcome Home Butch.
All's well in PNW. Finally got a little rain. Don't usually hope for rain but it was needed. Staining the house. If you ever want to be left alone--just break out the ladders and brushes. Best wishes to all.

Hey everybody! We made it back to sunny Texas, that means I have to finish setting up my house by the lake. UGH! I really enjoyed my first National meeting and hope to get to know y'all better in the future! Later!

Hello from sunny (damn hot) Southern California!!
Didn't think I could post from my phone so didn't try. My bad!
National was a BLAST and I'd like to add my personal THANK YOU to all who assisted in putting it together!!
I'm elated everyone made it to, during and home without serious incident.
I'm still on the left coast but will leave well before dawn Sunday to make a high speed run across the California Mojave and most of the way across Arizona.
My plan is to leave early every morning so I'm riding in the hottest part of the day.

I'm back!
I forgot to mention that my wife is my biggest supporter. She in 26 years has never let me down! When I go on a downward spiral she stands fast for me and helps me through the trials of PTSD! She has been good for me as I have'nt been back in the hospital for PTSD treatment since 2011! That's saying something about my wife having my "6" ! True support is a grand thing when a vet needs it most. I hope all of my Brothers that needs support gets it. Love you all, call me when you need to talk! LL&R

Hey,
Still waiting on some Brothers to step up and make a entry.
Things in Missouri good but like others we need some rain.Weather is great for riding but lawn and garden are suffering big time.
Looking forward to ride in Sept. and seeing my Brothers again.I have done a couple of short rides.
Leaving this week for some training and then back to the school duty.Oh well keeps a guy busy.
Hope all are in a good place ride hard and stay safe.
Almost forgot Ellen has been my bride for 46yrs this weekend and we will be doing a little celebrating at the same place we did our honeymoon and its all going to be paid for.Now that's a wonderful thing.

Hello my Brothers and Support,
Been home for a while and can't seem to shake the call of the road! Been a whole lot of places in my time and still have a lot more to see. Every time we get together I wish we lived closer so I could ride over and have a sit down and shoot the breeze, or ! Staying in one place has allways been a burden on my wanderlust! Had a great time our last gathering and riding home I wished it lasted longer. I love each and every one of my Brothers and hope all the best for you!
Not much happening here till Fall so I have to make my own good times with a visit with Mr. Beam once and a while and a boat ride when it's not to hot!
Looking forward to being with East Brothers in September and will be thinking of West Brothers wishing you all were there.
Respects to all ! Bear out !

I see we got a Brother on the road in California, bet West Virginia is look'n pretty good right now Doc. Brother Seattle is look'n forward to next years National, would be good to get both Beman Bros. to that one. Twin and Steamer are fry'n eggs on the sidewalk down there in Texas & Arizona.
I have been get'n out early on my rides, try'n to beat the heat of low 90's. Seen recent pic's of the Northwest Club House in Idaho, and it's look'n pretty nice. The Boss & Grumpy rode over to make sure Brother Brelon is on the mend, and that's always good news.
Am think'n about going over and ride the Going To The Sun Hwy. in Glacier Park, along with 2 million other tourists, but that will be a reminder of what Doc must be going through with riding in California.
Guess I will go close up the tiny cabin, get ready for the afternoon heat, hope all Brothers are safe & well. Have been watching some pretty severe storms going on down there in Missouri-Illinois-Iowa areas, so no complaints from up here.
Love & Respect to you all !
