Xtra xtra,, read all about it, VentureWest survival techniques finally proven!

[cowpuc]

WOW, REALLY REALLY,, WOW!

we did it that Tippy and I! After hours of debate while camping near Sonora Pass a couple weeks ago about just how much we thought we could trust those west coast gangstas, Tippy convinced me that we should go.. I had read somewhere that batterys, seats, footpegs, tires and even half eaten plates of french fries with gravey were known to disappear during this Venturewest thingy so I was very very nervous about attending such a questionable activity..

well,, it turns out that only part of those rumors are true!

First off, about the only thing in danger at said event would be a persons sanity and definitly fries and gravey!

Anyway,, back to survival techniques.... bluntly,, truthfully,,,,,, honestly,,,, camp with BikerJohn (aka HERO), the Shuttlebugs (that will be Mr. and Mrs. Shuttlebug to you), CMCoffey (aka Tech Sargent Coffey to some, but he did answer to COFF too) Tippy and myself and you probably will survive...

Its that easy..

We are safe and out of danger from corruption, starvation, foul biker smells, over eating malities, fatique from sorting truth from half truth, teaching others proper etiquette, learning how to speak Canadian and surprizingly enough,, pretty much intact!

Looks like camping near Bend Oregon is in order for two of us tonight.. WOW,,, WHAT RALLY!

Wow coff,, THAT is awesome! It was anhonor to meet bob, the state park host. Anyone passing thru the dalles area on a motorcycle and looking for a place to bivouac could not findaa more bike friendly host to bump into, take it to the bank!

THANK YOU Sarge for doing that! Any chance you could put, from exodus to tweeks, on the bottom? She, tweeks, fell in love with exodus during nice easy ride to mt. St. Helens and misses him greatly! I KNOW it would settle her heart greatly! Oh yea, tweeks also wants to know if exoduses front fender is healing ok after getting those stitches?

found the most gorgeous nation forest to camp in last night, in Sunrise oregon! Bout 2 miles in, DEAD quiet and the smell of ponderosa pine FILLED the tent, good thing too cause forgot to shower before I left.., WOW did we sleep!

Safe, dry, warm and fun traveling to you coff and to ALL our friends traveling home from the rally!

Oh yea, HEY VENTUREFAR, TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE THE WHIP ENDED UP! had it up front and tippy complained bout it slapping her leg.. I kinda wonder though,, ask Sargent coffey what tips rain gera says on it, after you hear about that you will realize the REAL reason why the WHIP is now in its permanent location on Tweeks! Thanks again Neil, PERFECT!

PUC N TIP!

Your more than welcome annie! Indeed, that King Vic, Lone Eagle is an amazing person! We had soooo much fun with him,, what a guy.. he led a bunch of us on a wild goose chase up to mt hood where people were snow sking! And showed us this old lodge called timberline,, really really neat place built many years ago.. it was beautiful up there.. vic an his new harley looked really neat with a bunch of yammies trailing behind LOL. goodthing we didnt bump into any hard core hd guys or we might have had to defend our king or something!

annie,, an interesting side note on the rally and my Austrailian sticker. Almost everytime we stop I get people staring at the stickers on tweeks from the places we have been.. most of the time I get questions asking if we have been to your homeland and that leads into a discussion about my family down under..

I noticed right away that NOT ONE PERSON ade that comment,, instead it was always something like,, awe I miss Aussie Annie and Quickstep or WOW, you got a sticker from Annie or I cannot wait to meet those guys!

no confusion with that bunch!

got LOTS of great pics of the man but not on this tablet, gonna be an interesting ride report coming up this winter with a bunch of pic an vids that you might wanna watch for.. I know some of these hammerheads on the site get bored with these tales but you and a few others are like me,, cant get enough of the stuff!

good ta hear from ya sista, tell that likeable chap your married to HOWDY for me!

Your friend

I could not find any good Nellis AFB stickers, but I saw this tab and thought it would be perfect for Tweeks.

[CMCOFFEY]

And I finished the Oregon State Parks sticker.

Love that "Pull Before Flight". That is cool!

 

Great idea!

[CMCOFFEY]

yeah, Tweeks is running low on places to put stickers, so I figured I will add to the stuff hanging off of Tweeks.

[cowpuc]

Absolutley positively PERFECT tech sargent coffey! I really appreciate the effort! That trip across nellis, aka area 51 was unreal! Thank you for having my back on the stickers Chris, both the nellis and the campground!

Gotta run,, headed for bodego bay to breath some ocean air.......

[Lone Eagle]

:dancefool:Bodega is awesome - you and Tippy (and Tweeks) going to enjoy it over there, Puc.

[EasyRider]

Better bring extra tent pegs for tweeks as well Windy and sandy. Head out to the state campground with a day pass and you can climb the rocks to see sea urchins, star fish, seal the clam chowder bread bowls are awesome too. Usually take my sleeping bag and chair out on the beach before dawn and watch the sunrise (if I haven't fallen back asleep. Usually wake up to the sound of the waves, sea gulls overhead calling out for breakfast and my kids shouting "DAD WHERE ARE YOU!!! Enjoy!
