I'm sure I speak for many here on RMD when I say "Thank you" for coming back after the rather shitty reception you were given the first time you posted here. For the record, I think this link will work for those amazing old riding pics: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29723&perpage=15&pagenumber=1 All I can say is you've earned the right to ride whatever you want at whatever speed suits you. We're not worthy! Tim H

What a hoot!!! Wes mentioned they still ride as a family. Hope I'm so lucky as time goes by. |
