2008 - the (riding) year in review

[Guest BluesLover]

Hey folks - tradition has it that around this time of the year, I pull together a bunch of pictures from the previous riding season, draw out some songs from my music collection, and put together a "riding year in review" video.

 

This year's video is dedicated in memory of our friend, Stephen Buck. I may have got a little carried away with this year's exercise, and so I've had to split the video up into 4 parts so that it could be posted to YouTube.

 

Here is the link to the various parts:

 

Part 1 - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28CxiZjbBXU]YouTube - 2008 rides_Part 1.wmv[/ame]

Enjoy!

Lou, thank you for sharing. That was really enjoyable to watch and listen too. The American 911 ride photo's looked good. Your daughter can take almost as good a photo as Vicki.

 

Thank you for the tribute to Stephen. The pictures show that you are leading as blessed a life as he did. Have a great winter.

The Moonshine store at the start of the 1st video is the area in Illinois where I grew up!

My Aunt had a farm just 1 mile west of there and I used to go there for lunch when I was a little kid.

 

I have not been there for 30+ years and I almost fell out of my chair when I saw it.

 

Great pictures.

Hey Jim - that Saturday in early April, Helen (the owner of the Moonshine General Store) sold 700+ burgers to a bunch of bikers as part of the Moonshine Lunch Run. Since then, a bunch of geocacheing folks have set the new record of 800+, so this coming April we will attempt to break that record once again!

 

Cheers,
