I’ve had the most amazing day…

OMG!
OMG!
Oh My F’ing God!

I do not have words to describe how I feel about you all today – I vacillate back n forth between “I’m gonna kill em – I love em all to death”…I’m even shocked so damn speechless I didn’t full on cry till I got in the car and started to drive home…and then I had to pull over cos I couldn’t see the road!

I swear when I pulled into that parking lot expecting to see Bee n Bryan and possibly Gator and Suzie and was faced with (did anybody count?) what looked like 50 bikes…my heart started to pound and so did my head….

I can’t believe you all…you got me this time – yup you did…

Bee n Bryan – yer soooo dead! Bryan – yer head looks lovely and thank you so much for the donation…I have no words – Bee tell Linda thanks again for me will ya…I am farklempt!

Laurie n Buzz and Gator n Suz…yer all on my list as well – dead I tell ya…dead yer all dead!
Jenn…I swear I’m gonna get you and I’m gonna staple yer lips shut!…

LIARS…I AM SURROUNDED BY F’ing LIARS! even Roadie and Zeek n Gizmo lied to me at “breakdown corner”!

and I love every damn one of you!

and then – the look on Bryan’s face when he pulled up on the Pickle – and don’t she sound purty? and she looks even prettier!! – I am absolutely flabergasted! I had come to expect safe from my conversations with Iceman – but pretty too? all that and a cushy seat? it’s a big ole chunk o heaven.

Doug Coval – there simply are no words to say what I need to say to you my brother – simply no words…so….Doug Coval, Doug Ryhorchuk and Jeff Mutley – I can not begin to thank you for the work you men have done on my behalf – suffice it to say that every single time I get on the Pickle from now to eternity I will have a vision of my very own “3 SCRC musketeers”

And I know that you won’t believe this but I will take all the wisdome that you will so generously impart upon me to heart (even if I whine when ya give it) – Yes Iceman I’ll get the damn oil changed just like we talked about! – I’ve even had the kindly donation of a “pink” kneeling pad from the VOD so as to be able to get down on my knees to thank you all…

I know that I’ve missed mentioning so many of you – at this point I can only thank you all for being there – and thank you all for making this day probably the best in my life…

and thank you all for making the VOD feel so welcome – Kiebler thanks for starting the into’s I was soo shocked I forgot she was there for a bit- and she was just tickled to meet you all!
I love you all…

….somehow “Thank you” doesn’t seem big enough – but it’s all I’ve got so Thank You All

the end result of which is the following:the list as I remember it…and keep in mind here that I know nothing about nuttin technical….

I have a new clutch, and a new motor (like brand new right outta the Christmas wrapping only got 0 KM’s on it), new speakers, new speaker covers, new running lights on the hubs, new HD mirrors, new upholstery front and back – new electrics wiring and ignition and stuff – something about the old stuff being half 6V and half 12V….signal lights that work – and brand new black exhaust…the roll bars and all the rusty chrome stuff (like the box latches and the supports etc under the trunk and the signal light housings have all been painted in some handy dandy, one step below powder coating….black…shiny and brand new….

I’m sure that I’ve forgotten something – but our new PO is bound to remind me :o)
once they’re all done – I think that the fiberglass body and the transmission is original…everything else has been “fixed up”

can you believe it? I can just barely…..

wanna see pix? how bout even more pix?

As a mark of respect, I dedicate this day to the memory of Samuel.

I met Samuel as a member of an MSN Group called Harley Tech Talk…those of us who have been there for a few years know who this man was, one of the original HTT members and a manager until his passing one year ago (07/27). I feel it is appropriate to mention the anniversary of his passing.

He was a very gifted man in more ways then one, a biker in the true sense of the word in that he loved riding to the extent that in his last few days he even strapped a portable Oxygen tank ( he called R2D2 ) to his bike in order to ride and meet friends.

He was also a gifted mechanic that had the ability to not only fix things but also explain in every day language how its done.

He was a proud veteran who served his country well with never a complaint.With kindness he helped literally 1000’s on here whenever he could, he was also a gifted Philosopher and a true Visionary and last but not least a true FRIEND to one and all.

He may be gone but NEVER forgotten by his family nor his good friends. For all of you who did not have the pleasure of knowing this man you should strive to be a small % of who he was and how he lived his life, the world would be a much better place in which to live.

He had a true RESPECT for one and all .

RIP ( Ride in Peace ) Sam.

A Measure of Samuel: From: Samuel Sent: 1/24/2003 3:59 PM A very wise man once told me that there was only one true route to immortality. And that route was through the sharing of knowledge. He said that you could save all the money in the world, be the very best, but no one would remember anything but the money.

I am fully aware that when I leave this earth that I will be missed about as long as a hole remains in a bucket of water when you pull your hand out, for that is the way of things. But I would hope that what little knowledge that I might pass on during my trip would live for just a little while and benefit a few along the way. To just live is a one way street, but to live and help another along the way creates an endless orbit around this sun called life.

From: Samuel Sent: 1/24/2003 4:05 PM I forgot to add my humble thank you for the privilege of meeting all of you along this invisible river called cyberspace. And to the few that I have been able to assist, you are completely welcome. I only wish I knew more to pass on. Samuel
