Thanks for sharing this somber news Bob. Lots of familiar usernames in this thread, lots of memories. So sad to read.

Ride In Peace, Pat.

Phil,

One again your slideshow provides the perfect keepsake, thank your for the time and effort I know it takes to do that.

Another super shindig goes down in the history books. Phenomenal turnout, 18 or more, anyone know an exact number? There were about 16 of us that camped.
I only took this one picture all weekend:

Saturday at Dinner

JB, I think this is a "Ner-a-car".

The picture in the wikipedia entry isn't good, but an image search produces a lot of results.

Cool stuff, Phil. I had heard about Mountain Dew but did not know the other.

Also, Vann I didn't mean to kill your Flogging "Molly" reference. And iwoabeakster, HM is close enough to WV that the Young Dubliners won't be a problem.

Info for attendees: Saturday, August 20th is another "Back of the Dragon" Day. So, there will be plenty of southbound bikes on 16 in the morning and northbound in the afternoon. For any undecideds, do not let this deter you. We will probably be gone before and get back after the crowds. Pl...

I'll bring a little Flogging Molly and a lot of Young Dubliners!

Here's a little something for everyone:

I'll bet it has a 45 degree 800 cc v-twin...

It would be great to hear that you were back on an R. Keep us posted with pics WHEN it happens

Standardized controls are a good thing. I don't have a problem moving from my Beemer to the Morphous which has this type of signal switchgear. I do have a signal minder on my R so that I can cancel with same switch that started the blinking. I bet you hardly think about it when you jump on your KLR ...

Brian----I 'spect that's cause you're a big boy!

Well, maybe...but I'm not as big as I used to be.

boxermania, but will the Harley guys wave at someone riding a scooter? :D ... Don I can tell you yes they do, but it helps if you wave first (doesn't it always?). Boxermania, These scooters are one of the best kept two wheel secrets. It's the macho factor, hard to overcome, but when you're on one y...

Here is the thread bmwr1150rbmw is talking about:

Hanguard Install

Vann, you're not confused, Fungus53 is now all AC/DC.

John, probably is the same Meatmen given their DC area background. It doesn't say much here but lists some names of former members: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meatmen

I can't stand it! Every day at lunch I listen to the special programs on XM's now gone punk channel, Fungus53. Not only that, but I listened to it most of the day. Tuesday's cover song show called "Duped" was just fantastic. Epic stupidity on Mr. Jon Zellner's part. Horrible decision in my...
