Topic: Still Alive...

[GroovieGhoulie]

Hey all... Just checking in.

Enjoying the land of sand and sun, even though the weather is mild and it's kinda rainy.

Been put on a Military Transition Team, where we work with the Iraqi Army to train them to take over for when we leave.  (Think the SF "Advisers" in Vietnam.)  I predict we'll have about the same success they did. Vietnamization Iraqization just ain't gonna work for the long term.

Anyway, I've got a while to go here yet, and I can't wait to get back home and start riding again.  I miss my bikes so bad.

Anyway, I'll try and stop in when I can, but the schedule is hectic, so we'll see.

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe on the roads out there.

Laters...

Keep your eyes open and your head down guy. Maybe you can get a "scooter" or something to ride around the compound!

Hope you get back to the homeland safely.
Much thanks for your service to our country.

Keep your head down! Glad to hear all is going ok for you over there...and thanks as always!!

Hi Groovie, if it starts getting to you over there start thinking "K0", or "CBX" etc etc. You know you want one! Keep safe.

[Sam Green Racing]

At least, you're not snowed up

Stay safe Groovie

Sam.

Watch out and stay safe buddy. I was envious when I saw your bikes, but believe me, I won't trade jobs with you for a million bucks!

[Rocking-M]

Keep it safe GG. Do you need someone to look after that Boxer for you? 

[gerhed]

Groove,

Certainly appreciate your efforts.
Sometimes just thinking about busting down the highway back home
on your bike can be comforting.

Stay strong over there. Don't let the shiit around you to get inside your head. Hopefully the next Prez will get you kids out of there.

I used to believe that the USA was saving the world from itself. That an F15 on full re-heat was "The Sound of Freedom"...These days I'm not so sure. Maybe Ron Paul is asking the right questions.

All I know is that there are too many young men going back to the USA via Germany and the hospitals there. For what?  And I mean no disrespect to Groovie.

Maybe a new president will remove the boys from Iraq. 

Look at Vietnam...what a F*ck-up, but today it's moving along fine. Maybe if the USA gets the hell out of Iraq, the situation will take care of itself, the same way it did in Vietnam. I'm not talking appeasment to the Islamic fundametalist madmen, but a strategic withdrawal, if there is such a thing.

Anyway, if the USA hadn't come down to the South Pacific in '43 I would probably by now be working for a couple of Yen a day and speaking Japansese as a virtual slave under a militaristic regime based in Tokyo. Too harsh you think. Well think again!

So, as they say, God Bless America.

[GroovieGhoulie]

Thanks for the well-wishes guys. 

TC: I'm pretty well with you, so no disrespect taken.  Ron Paul for Prez!!!!!

Yeah, I'm planning on some toys when I get back.  Was wanting a Kwacker triple two-stroke, but now I'm thinking of getting a plane and learning to fly.  My dad's a pilot and I LOVE flying.  Combine that with a hatred of the TSA and all the police-state BS you go through to fly commercial these days and the cheap price of small planes, I'll just fly myself, thanks.

Gonna invest some money, then come back and look at something like a Piper Cherokee or something.  They can be had very reasonable.

We'll see.

Stay safe out there GG and if you miss the bike too much perhaps you could ask this guy for a loan http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-Gz625B2ZVI

Hey GG there are these things called bullets. Dont catch one! You have bikes that miss you as much as you miss them. And you got a whole group of guys here that do not want to see a post with bad news about you!

I have a mission for you should you choose to accept it. Your mission is to get back here and die of old age and be buried with your bike. Are you up to the challenge?

[BobbyR]

Maybe a new president will remove the boys from Iraq. 

So, as they say, God Bless America.

God Bless the Men and Women
