My riding for the year will be over soon

[muffinman]

I will be able to do Maint day,The Skid in and Ashville but as of right this moment I will be leaving for Iraq on the 15th of July. Sledgehammer has agreed to let me store 3 of the bikes in his barn and ADC is going to come by the house and ride the SS bike for me.Mini may or may not be good on the web site.

I am going to say I am sorry for all the pot stirring she is going to do while I am gone for the year.

I will miss everyone while I am gone but ya gotta do what you gotta do so I am going over to work on as they are saying at the moment H60s for the Army and Airforce.

I will check in as often as possible while I am over in the sand box.

I will have Mini keep everone informed of my status while I am away and I am sure that she will set up a meet and eat for when I get home.

Dont worry she will still make it to some of the meet and eats while I am gone she already started making arangments to get some riding in with a few of our members.

Are you gonna teach Tim everything you know before you leave, so he can fix our bikes while you're gone:yikes: Everyone is gonna miss you around here, but like you said, "you gotta do what you gotta do" hope it all works out for ya, and the year goes quick and you get back safe. Good luck and I'll see ya before you leave, Thanks for the warning about Mini LOL Craig

[SaltyDawg]

Sorry to hear you are heading over. Hopefully the money will make up for the lost time. If you guys need anything at all, don't hesitate to call.

 

We need to do deadwood a time or two before you split.

 

Take care.

Jeff-

 

Good luck on your stint in Iraq - be safe. Your help will be missed during your time away. Thanks to your instruction, I was able to change the valve cover gaskets yesterday.

 

Enjoy your time left!!

 

Ride hard.

[autopilot]

Well, darn.......That was about a 9.5 on my "didn't see that comin-ometer". Ya gotta do what ya gotta do, though....Good luck in advance and keep a low profile. We'll say prayers and keep a light on for ya!

[1BigDog]

Nope, didnt see that coming either. Sure hope we can hook up before you go. Be safe there Little Brother........

[Squidley]

I'm the 3rd with not seeing that coming, but I'm sure the pay will be good. I dont envy you Jeff, I spent 9 months over in the middle east. Let Mini know that if she needs something to let us know and if you need something over there you do the same, good luck my friend and we'll look forward to seeing you at Skids.

[DragonRider]

Well I knew something was up when Mini said they wouldnt be making Vogel this year..........but I thought it was a vac. issue............

Jeff I know you had mentioned the possibility about going over before, but I thought that had passed.............I hate to see anybody go over there, especially civilians.........Take care of your self over there, and like I keep telling Clay, Dont forget to Duck.......hope you dont have too...........

 

I will see you at M/D and Skids...........dang I guess doing 2nd gear is out for a while...........oh well.........it will be there when you get back............

 

 

[Yammer Dan]

Good luck Jeff. Hard to answer this one before I'm awake!!

[Riderduke]

We need to do deadwood a time or two before you split.

 

Take care.

[halfwitt]

Be safe over there! We will miss you. We'll try to keep Mini in line.

[Freebird]

Dang it Jeff, I am happy for you if it is what you want but sad that you will be away. I know that things have gotten much better over there but there is still plenty of danger. PLEASE take care of yourself and watch your back. We will truly miss you.

 

Maybe you could send Mini instead?

[stardbog]

Bro, as you stated "do wat you have to do", Lina and me will miss you and keep you in our toughts.

Love you mr. Muffin.

[JoeFab]

Be Safe!

[Venturous Randy]

Wow Jeff, I am sure they could use your help over there, but this will be a tough one. I just hope the troup reduction is not going to make it worse on everyone that's there.

We will be looking forward to seeing you at Asheville.

Hey Jeff, take good care of yourself and may the good Lord watch over you there. A year will fly by, we will look forward to your emails when you can. Hope to see you and mini at maintance day. Later-James & Charlene

[Monty]

Enjoy every day here while you can, and good luck over there. I know a guy here who maintains the birds at Ft. Campbell, and he has done some 1 year stints over there. I turned down a job with Raytheon, working on the optics, because I don't want to be over there all the time.

 

I hope you have a safe trip. Be careful.

[sarges46]

Wow....you take care over there. Gonna miss meeting you this go around.

[Eck]

Jeff,

Looks like we will have to share a cold one at MD. Maybe a couple..

If you two need anything just lest us know.

 

Oh and take your height measurement now and then again when you return..

 

Most when they return are much shorter..they spend so much time pulling their head in like a turtle their neck becomes shorter...but where your going should be a lot safer ....than being on the front lines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Terry Richardson]

WOW Jeff chalk one more up for didnt see that coming. Hey bro I appreciate all the info you have given me since signing up with VR these last couple years. You have been instrumental in keeping my old ventures alive. God bless you my friend and you will be in our prayers. Like the rest... if there is anything I can do for the man that has done so much for others... please let me know.

[Sleeperhawks Mechanic]

Hey Jeff, we know you need to do what you need to do, so take care of yourself and if there is anything we can do from here, just let us know. Just stay safe!

[Jrichard]

[mini-muffin]

Well I knew something was up when Mini said they wouldnt be making Vogel this year..........but I thought it was a vac. issue............

Actually that was the reason at first. The new company that picked up the contract terminated everyone's vacation time for the year. Only allowed a day here and a day there.
