When I was riding I told everyone I didn't like it...
...I was fearful of becoming an organ donor!

But now I miss it...

I know that my dear husband will never own another...
...he just can't do it anymore!

Well, he could something like Thumper above, but not
Blue! However, he wouldn't be able to haul my fat...
...oh, wait I've lost over a...

i remember as a kid watching the angels on the freeway heading to a run,seemed like millions riding in formation that went on for miles seemed like nothing else but bikes on the road.

almost got my wife talked into another,showed her an old shovel in a showroom window plenty of room for her butt on the back nothing like the p-pad on my last one

Katie,

I believe it was in 2001 maybe 2 (hard to recall), it seems like all those runs run together now.
We had a little cabin next to a stream, it was beautiful. We were always there on Memorial
Day, for the big Memorial Day Rally!

My husband and I don't do COLD...

Berta,

When was the last time you were in Red River?

I love LOVE the pics of you! Those pictures look like some really fun times.

Red River...........that brings back some memories. When I was growing up we had a cabin in Angel Fire, but it was always so much fun to go across Bobcat Pass ( I think that was the name) and hang out in Red River.

I have some really really great memories of that place as my BEST friend and I went there alot during high school. He past away a year after high school graduation in a head on...

Thanks Logo!

I really had some better ideas for the pot rack...
...such as I would use chains from a used Harley
primary chain drive. I did this when my husband
was ill, and I had gobs of time on my hands...
...perhaps someday I will "modify" it!

I've never been to jail, but on the theory that
it's a trip bailing one out...here's some...

OMG - I love the pot rack and the pics of you are great! Thank you for sharing - you look like the kind of friend that matches the saying I got (from a great friend...)

A good friend
will bail you out of jail
A great friend
is sitting beside you saying

"WOW - that was fun!"

I never cared for that bike as much as I did Thumper, our 85 Softtail Custom....
After riding Thumper from Oklahoma to Red River, NM in a deluge (which was my Virgin Run),
we came back and sold poor Thumper and bought Blue (91 Electra Glide Classic)! I truly cried
when we sold Thumper.

We have some...

This is my dear husband in August 2004. He's headed out on his last run to Montana. It was a guys only run or we would have had the bike trailer hitched up with my hot rollers in it. He always hated me hauling my hot rollers on bike runs....

It's hard to believe within six months after this photo was taken, he laid dying in a hospital waiting on a liver and kidney transplant (which he...
