Anybody have a #?

There was a similar thread not to long ago, and I called him and left a VM. He returned my call and left me a VM and said he was having some family health issues. I can't remember exactly when it was. I have his number I'll try to give him another call and let everyone know what's going on.

Ride Safe,

Yea, yea. I know what it will take to get me in the HBRR's and hopefully it will happen this summer.

Thanks for making this post as I suffer from CRS and had forgotten about giving Spyder a call. Just got back from picking kid up from college and that is always fun moving in/out of a dorm. Anyway I gave him a call and left a VM again and hopefully he'll return the call.

Ride Safe,

Got a call back from Spyder tonight. He's still dealing w/family situation and thanked me for checking on him. He said he hasn't had time to do any riding and hopes to get back in the saddle and on the site soon.

Ride Safe,

Well, it's been a 'every-day' deal with my Mother since the Christmas night.....and I haven't had time to attend to much else.....no scooter activites, or the emotional strength to do much else. I buried my Mother yesterday with great relief after the struggle she's had. So, now maybe I can put some miles on one of these hogs and get my head clear one more time. This site had changed, and it's gonna take this ole road-dog awhile to figure out how to navigate it, but, I'm looking forward to 'catching up'.

Very sorry to read of your mother's passing Spyder. The toll can be more than you realize at the time. So the time to recover yourself is warranted and necessary my friend. Be well. Ride. Feel better. Welcome back.

Spyder,
My thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to you and your family on the lost of your Mother. I could tell from the sound in your voice when you returned my calls that this has been weighing heavy on you.

As for getting used to the site it'll be easy as getting on one of your bikes and getting back in the wind. Neal just added some more bling, HP, and TQ.

Glad to have you back, you've been missed.

Ride Safe,
Fired00d

I am happy to hear from you , but sorry for your loss. The notion of clearing you head with some miles on the bike(s) is a good one. Drop us a line now and again and let us know how you're doing. It's been too long since we've enjoyed your wit, humor and wisdom.

I'm already feeling better....tomorrow, I'm gonna ride down to Oriental,NC (on the sound) and check on my ole sailboat....I reckon I still know how to counter-steer to miss those cages!

thanks for the condolances, guys......she had a good life of 89 yrs.....rode harleys, flew airplanes, and always looked good, right to the end. Her mind was good but the heart finally wore out and she's in a better place now. I'm gonna miss her, but glad she's free of the suffering. I'm gonna enjoy a much needed putt on the screamin' eagle tomorrow. Gonna be 80 degrees and all sun!

My sincere condolences on your Mother, Spyder. Been there and done that back in 2002, myself. I tell folks to be glad to have had those fine people in your life for as long as they were. It took me longer than I would have thought to tie up all the "loose ends" but just be patient and allow some time for yourself.

Understood, buddy.

Bootsy and I will be in the MV area for a few days over the July 4th time period and would love to see you, even if just for lunch or something.

As far as catching up, unless you've got a few months to read, just go ahead and block all of Hoist's posts, 'cause there ain't no way you're going to be able to read all his!! We're all getting a week long break from his WFO fingers

Enjoy the hiatus while you can.

Thoughts and prayers are with you Spyd.

Our Western GTG is in Nelson in July, the link is in my signature. Great turn out too, over 70 people are signed up.

I think we all understand the need to catch up on the new site navigation, Neal really added some stuff to it with the new changes.

Hope your ride was great and gave some time to blow out the cobwebs a bit.

My good friend, both Jamey and I send you condolences and many wishes for you finding your own version of peace. We've each lost one of our parents and it is not easy. We have truly missed you. Re catching up on the board? With an average of 400 posts a day, I can't keep up if I visit daily, so don't know how one catches up on all, but ya gotta know that Don has a whole new powdercoated, diamond cut engine with a tan ostrich seat and a million other due dads. Terry has new wheels. Q has a whole new bike. Chip has a new chopper, a bunch of folks have added bigger cams, a lot of the new 110 engines are blowing up and a lot of the 2006 bad paints have been replaced. A bunch of great new members have joined and seem to be finding a way to pull up a chair and fit right in and all is great. If you hit the "Mark All Messages As Read" button, you will be able to follow the newest posts by the Show unread posts since last visit.

right at the top of the board, and reserver the crawling through old stuff when you are real board this winter.

Spydy, so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. I understand "relief" because it was truly a blessing when my mother passed because of her struggle. It's hard to accept, it does take a lot of emotional strength, but it is part of the passage of our lives.

Take care, and we look forward to seeing you back on the site and hopefully in person.

Happy and Safe Trails,

Bootsy

I lost my Mother a couple of years ago to lung cancer - she was in Aberdeen and I was in South of England

the 1000 mile round trips were no picnic and even though I visited as often as I could and stayed for as long as I could, I still managed to be on the way when she finally passed

Thank God she did not suffer and her palliative care was second to none - thank you McMillan and Marie Curie nurses

Cheers

Did me a world of good to ride the SEEG thru all the twisty's I could find in the Blue Ridge Mtns. Just got home and trying to come back to all the 'reality' that I've escaped for a week.
