I for one remember the MFG days and probably am in a minority saying I miss his involvement, but not at the expense of the drama so I can accept his leaving. Many have left this website or lost interest, some that come to mind: MFG, Glave, Buffy,  Cannibus_Mann, Doctor Evil-DJW, SHRADER, kng103,  I know some of these people still visit with not posting but I still miss there involvement and I know there are others I have forgot.

Since my involvement here on this website witch has been a while, I have had just a few occasions where someone has bashed or commented in a very ignorant way to a post I've made. I have responded to these in a lenient manor taking what I believe to be the high road. I honestly don't think it's worth my abrasively defending my being right or trying to force my opinion on anyone. I truly enjoy the fact that there is quite a bit of communication here not having much friction or negative comments, I believe the moderators are doing the very best job they can and I appreciate that. I have been on other forums where it's so abrasive its not much fun at all.

I have got so much from this site in the info I've received for my bikes and the friends I've obtained it makes coming here a total joy, I actually miss not being able to come here sometimes. Lets face it you can get help here from fixing your bike to refinishing your hardwood floors. I have had some great rides due to this website. I've made some very good friends I've had help and support in difficult times.

I have to tell you, I sometimes will re frame from arguing with my wife even when I believe I'm right, I have found I honestly can learn more from letting it go. I guess its one of those things that makes life more interesting and certainly more fun in having the ability to listen instead of talking.

Thanks all for all the contributions here, you guys give me so much to think about every day. A couple people here have pointed out some invaluable information here in that no one should get too serious. I remember leaving jobs in the past thinking that they couldn't get the job done without me and I found out that they survived just fine, if I let myself I can learn every day. You guys are the best.....thx.

REO, MFG did bring some interesting facts to the board, that's for sure.  However, if you remember, he had an uncanny knack for quoting tech. articles and all kinds of scientific motorcycle mechanics and engineering and then he'd sign his name to the bottom of each of those posts (as though it came directly from him).  Of course, we had some members that were naive' enough about Harleys to believe that he did write it all.......until his covers were pulled.

As Andy indicated above, he could get offended real easy by anybody who questioned him or chllenged him.  He was certainly an interesting guy however, I don't miss all his drama.

Rednectum......yes, they have commercials out here about how happy the cows are, here in Cali.  They're really spoofs and funny as hell.  To give you an idea, I'll try to recite one of them for you however, know that I may not describe it near as well as it comes across on the tube. 

Two cows standing in a sunny, green pasture.....the younger one tells the older one "hey, check out the babe coming this way".  The older one tells the younger one "yea, she's a looker......I'll handle this one".  As the cow approaches, the older of the two says in one of those voices "hey baby, you work out?" as the cow walks on by, ignorring the two standing there.  The little guy says to the big guy "oh sure......you're so suave and sophisticated".

Then they have another one where a cow is going to leave sunny Calif. and go back to Wisconsin.  The cows in Calif. are sun bathing while the cows in Wis. are stuck in a snow storm and can't even move.

Funny commercials.........guess you gotta see them for yourself. :nixweiss:

Glad to see you home and up and about with any type of improvement and any degree of feeling better.  There is no such thing as minor surgery Roy; unless it's surgery done to someone else.
