Touring the Information Highway by Don Nelson

[Prairiehammer]

Howie over at the MTA site is digitizing the various publications that the Old Venture Touring Society and later the Motorcycle Touring Association produced.

I was browsing recently and encountered this funny story by our own Don Nelson (Freebird).

LOL....I think I still see stars from that one. I can tell you though, that bike is a LOT easier to get out from under you that a RSV is...but that was another story.

[Prairiehammer]

Of course it's easier to get off ya...EILEEN DID IT!!!

[Freebird]

Yes..but she has a MUCH harder time lifting the RSV....I know that for a fact.

[tcoop]

Did you jump the RSV over the pond ????

[BOO]

Hell he can't even get the RSV out of the garage without it crawling all over him.....

Good to see the stuff from the VTS group, when I was looking for some pictures the other day I found some pictures of one of the meets I attended in Springfield, Mo. When I get them scanned I'll post them on this site.

BOO

Did you jump the RSV over the pond ????

 

Just say the word "POND" and he will jump.........

[BuckShot]

I keep hearing about problems with the pond-----In a couple of years,Don will fill it in and we will have more camping space for MD.

Going by the pics I've seen of the pond monster...it will give him somewhere to park the front wheel of his bike :rotf:

[Dano]

So Don, what you're saying is that you invented the "Stoppie"?!

 

Congratulations, never knew that one of our own came up with that!!

Might have been better had he landed in the pond like he usually does.LOL

[Freebird]

I don't know if I invented the stoppie or the slammy.

 

and YES....the pond would have been MUCH easier on the head and ribs.

An audience and no protection is a dangerous combination...
