SilvrT Posted April 15, 2018 #1 Posted April 15, 2018 Y'all ... I'll not be renewing my membership here. It's a simple matter of econmics although some might think the few extra $$$ is nothing but frankly, the CAD/US exchange rate right now is ridiculously high and now that we're retired, corners have to be shaved everywhere. Our 6 & 1/2 month "adventure" in the USA with our 5th wheel blew the budget. We're not broke but that trip left us with wayyyy less savings than we ever anticipated all because of the exchange rate. Y'all can still communicate with us on facebook or my personal email which is rickyerex at gmail dot com
Marcarl Posted April 15, 2018 #2 Posted April 15, 2018 I can understand the downsizing thing, it's an age thing I think, maybe it's got to do with bald heads and grey hairs. Gonna miss ya though.

BlueSky Posted April 15, 2018 #6 Posted April 15, 2018 We'll be happy to see you return if you settle down and buy another bike. Heck we'll be happy to see you return if you don't buy another bike. Best Wishes!
Yammer Dan Posted April 15, 2018 #7 Posted April 15, 2018 Golden Years??? BULL!! Stay in touch Rick!! I can understand. I may even sell a few parts or a Scoot..... Medical has totaled us. I would really like a Trike but don't think it can happen now.
BlueSky Posted April 16, 2018 #8 Posted April 16, 2018 If you hadn't traded trucks, would you have still busted your budget?
SilvrT Posted April 16, 2018 Author #9 Posted April 16, 2018 If you hadn't traded trucks, would you have still busted your budget? Actually, if I had stayed with the F350, it would have cost us more as I can sell this diesel for almost what I paid for it.
SilvrT Posted April 16, 2018 Author #10 Posted April 16, 2018 Well I couldn't do it ... I'm friggin addicted to y'all so I paid my dues!
Yammer Dan Posted April 16, 2018 #11 Posted April 16, 2018 Well I couldn't do it ... I'm friggin addicted to y'all so I paid my dues! I know all about that! I was so ticked at that Trike I didn't get that I wanted out!!! Then I thought of all the good people here!!! And Puc would git lonely in the Corner!!!
camos Posted April 16, 2018 #12 Posted April 16, 2018 Well I couldn't do it ... I'm friggin addicted to y'all so I paid my dues!Good choice Rick. About $15 a year is not going to impact your financial situation in any appreciable way. Besides you would miss us.
SilvrT Posted April 16, 2018 Author #13 Posted April 16, 2018 Good choice Rick. About $15 a year is not going to impact your financial situation in any appreciable way. Besides you would miss us. ya, guess I'll just have to cut back on my alcohol consumption !
Flyinfool Posted April 16, 2018 #14 Posted April 16, 2018 ya, guess I'll just have to cut back on my alcohol consumption ! OUCH!!! Glad you are staying. Maybe cut back on the wife's alcohol consumption instead...........
camos Posted April 16, 2018 #15 Posted April 16, 2018 ya, guess I'll just have to cut back on my alcohol consumption ! Ya, I bet if you cut your drinking habit by 1% you would probably easily cover our club dues. Does that mean we are a 1% motorcycle club?
Condor Posted April 16, 2018 #16 Posted April 16, 2018 Glad to see you changed your mind Rick... I'd miss Nina.. :-) Imagine..if you hadn't picked up the tab for lunch at Guisti's during VW6 you wouldn't have had to make that first post.. for the next 5 years.. :-) Heck I was even going to pay your dues... but that's off the table now..
SilvrT Posted April 16, 2018 Author #17 Posted April 16, 2018 I'd miss Nina.. :-) But you wouldn't miss ME??? I’m devastated! That’s it buddy, no more free lunches for you! :Laugh:
SilvrT Posted April 16, 2018 Author #18 Posted April 16, 2018 OUCH!!! Maybe cut back on the wife's alcohol consumption instead........... Not a chance in h3LL that will ever happen ( unless I want to be single again)
Venturous Randy Posted April 16, 2018 #19 Posted April 16, 2018 Well, I just paid mine and I have not been on a bike in going on three years now. Randy
Condor Posted April 16, 2018 #20 Posted April 16, 2018 But you wouldn't miss ME??? I’m devastated! Well? Now that I've thought about it a bit....... :think:....Maybe?????
Guest divey Posted April 16, 2018 #21 Posted April 16, 2018 It was a bit late for an April Fool’s joke Rick😀. Sorry to hear your travel experience was a bit pricey but I’m sure the memories were worth it. Glad to see you’re back in the fold. Look forward to catching up with you and Nina sometime when you’re settled. Doug
