Christmas 2024
« on: December 24, 2024, 10:30:41 AM »
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I enjoyed wonderful adventures over the past year along with dissapointment at Bonneville and watched our oldest daughter recover from a skiing accident to a full recovery. Carol and I just arrived in Quartzite AZ after traveling with the RV from Pocatello to International Falls, MN, several places in WI, Between the Lakes in KY, Atlanta (visited Bill Benton), then to Palm Bay FL to help my Brother-in-law assemble a '53 Zundapp KS601 and a visit to the Man-Cup Finals at Valdosta.

 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. May our next year be filled with the kind of adventures Dennis described.

Melekalikimaka from Maui!!
We look forward to our year here, enjoying retirement.
24, while busy, has wrapped up well with our health intact.

I have paid for my 25 SOHC calendar and I'm looking forward to getting it, thanks to Steve M! Nice present to myself!

All the best to all of you on this forum, the best forum there is.

There was some Reunions several years ago now than many enjoyed, all who went or were able to make it had a good time. Maybe time to consider scheduling another get together or Godzilla, Lefty, PimpZilla tour to a destination or two in centralized locations in various regions...
Riding more than a day's ride away is more than many can deal with...superslab riding is no fun and areas with frost heave bumps it wears you out faster.

I hope you all had a
Merry Christmas...
