Well this being my 1000th post I figure I might as well sum up my time on this site. First I will say that riding for me is a big part of my life and my HD is like a part of me an extension of my very soul. These to me are the reasons why I think we all get along around here,albeit the few bumps in the road we may have had with other members or moderators. Those bumps make up the fabric of individuality that draw us to peer into this screen and read into someone elses thoughts. We agree,disagree or it doesn't matter to us either way, but we post.We trade personal stories of the trials and tribulations of our lives. We try to steer others away from the traps we ourselves fell victim to. We laugh we cry we feel emotion for one another even though we have never met face to face.We sit behind the screen and type til our fingers bleed black and orange,and to some they think "Why are you spending so much time on that computer posting on some silly message board?".My reply is "It's not only a message board to me,Its my family." Like I said I may not know you on a face to face level but I still know you.One of my first expierences of this site goes back to when I was a newbie and was travelling to Biketoberfest and one of our Floridian members out of nowhere PM'ed me his cell phone number and offered to give me a tour of areas outside Daytona where the locals ride. He offered himself to me ,not even knowing a thing about me, just some guy with a CVO going to Daytona. That member was Harry(Unbalanced).That meant alot to me that he would do that,looking back now I'm sorry I never hooked up with him down there.Then he goes down and I feel for him and his family like a good friend I wished I could be there for him and help him out in his time of need. Slowly as we get into the riding season I plan on meeting as many members as i can.That is why I decided to do Maggie Valley this year,I think with the growth of the site and the bonds I've made it will be like a 20 state family reunion.When I get old and I can't ride anymore these are the things I will look back on as being the best times of my life and all of you are a part of that.One person in particular I am glad to have met is Big B. He is kinda like a mentor to me on the level that he's been a biker for a long time.We talk on the phone twice a week and talk about bikes,family friends just Brother to Brother BS. If you all got to speak to him like I have you would know that he is a straight up Bro and would be by your side no matter what.Brian thanks for being you Bro. And to Neal,he is the first voice I heard from the site.I thank him for putting this together for us to enjoy.I don't think even he could have expected in the years of this site that this is where it would go.I chat with thim often,met face to face with him and he as well is a solid Bro.Thanks Neal for everything.And the others I've met, Bill(WFP),Mark(MYCVO),Glenn(Ghaz) and Steve, Neals brother, you guys are the reason this site is great and why I think that we are family.These guys will put themselves out for you with no question asked.I'm pretty sure most of us here would do it aswell. A few more names I'd like to mention: FIREDOOD,HDDUDE,TWOLANE,JCZ,V-GIRL,103THUNDER,BLM777,ERNIEZAP,HUBBARD,ISELBULLS,WILLIED,DCFIREMANN,JOCK,GROVER,OTIS,RJOB749,MRSWECVO and to those who I have not mentioned I have writers block at this time and as they come back to memory I will post you up.oh and 1 more name Screamin Beagle Be good Matt watch over our Bro. In conclusion Thank You, all of you who contribute to me ,this site and to the lifestyle we love.Now go out and get some riding in [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]Frankenserks Rule! Elvis is dead! Later,Q
