Carl, I just want to know if my high-speed wobble-filled hellride with you, Pete and "Crazy" Joe in, and around, the general area of Maggie Valley, NC this year earned me HBRR status. Please consult with OTIS and advise. If not, I would be honored if you would at least please refer to me as "numnuts" now and then.
Looking forward to riding with you and the newly refurbished "Ol Maudie" in the new year!

Man, that was one of those rides we'll be talking about in the Rockin' Chair, huh Brian? When you went into that wobble, I remember thinkin', "I can crowd over to that guardrail, jump off, and keep this big Black Bi*ch from stompin' me."

Yeah, sure, jump off at 100 MPH! Thank God there were no 4-wheelers in the right-hand lane. That would have been BIG, to say the least! Seemed wierd to me because we had been runnin' harder and faster than that, and I hadn't seen you wobble. Must have had something to do with that long, sweeping left-hand curve. And Joe, ready to backhand that idiot on the bicycle! And then, doin' a burnout right in front of "The Man!" In all my years in the saddle, I have never riden as hard, and as long, as that day. I'd even venture to say that that day of abuse was a major factor in Ol' Maudie "giving her milk", a short time after. The Gods were definitely Ridin' with us that day! I'll see OTIS, today. He's got some new high-tech toy he wants me buy. Hope to see you in Maggie Valley, or before.

Merry Christmas!

Later--HUBBARD
