Indeed Ernie, we really got our hands full this year,, back in 86 the main road north of the Muskegon River where we shot those pics was washed completely out - this one is wayyyyy worse than that was!!! The Governor has declared state of emergency for the whole Muskegon River Valley,,, terrible situation.. I am somewhat familiar with Vassar,, being from Caledonia my wife is even more so.. Hey,,, ever been to the Gilmore Museum? They have an AWESOME old bike show there every year,, have bought and sold bikes/parts there lots.. Really fun place.. Yea Buddy,, got really great kids,, got a good mix of my crazyness and their moms smarts,, had a LOT of fun raising em and, cause of those brains,, their all still alive!! Wish ya lived closer too,, we could go mopeding together,,,,,,,, noo ya dad burn twister-not on the same bike:rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:

Might be wrong here but isnt that found in the "edit signature" area of the User CP?? Been a long time,, gonna do a little diggin here

Get some colored markers and,,,,, never mind,, sooner or later I am gonna get kicked off this site.....

Your welcome Randy.. I know being a Vet and a brother gear head, you of all people will appreciate this little part of the story.. The fellow I aquired the bike from, just like his father before him, was also a Vet.. Nicest, kindest, God fearing, most thoughtful person you would ever want to meet - his wife too.. His name is George.. He was Special Forces in Nam, started his tour in 66, in 69 he had a Huey shot out from under him, spent a year getting back on his feet, came out being able to walk!! He is now in pretty rough shape from those injuries, agent orange stuff and getting old.. He and wife were executors of his deceased fathers estate.. The bike was the last of his fathers belongings to go,, he struggled emtionally with the bike sale part of the whole process,, his dad served in Army Air Force in the European Theater from 43 till wars end.. Got home, aquired the bike in 48ish and was his baby ever since.. Cher and I spent the better part of 4 hours with the son and his wife going over stuff.. AMAZING story!! He has promised to send me video of his Dad riding the bike, old pictures (I have one of his dad riding it that he ran off on a printer for my garage wall) and a complete "memory" text of his dads service and info about the bike.. His dad rode the bike for the last time 4 weeks before he passed! Concerning Karma,,, we found out a VERY interesting thing in talking face to face with this lovely couple.. They had actually sold the bike a couple months ago to a bottom feeding scammer on Ebay.. Guy sent him one of these fake checks,, fortunately they hadn't released the bike before the bank contacted them - whew.. They pulled it from Ebay, their daughter posted it on Craigs for them and offered to be a buffer between them and the scammers.. They said they could sense immediately upon reading my response to their ad a real sincerity about respecting the history of the bike.. We left there as VERY good friends, had laughed and cried together.. Unreal buddy!! They all but gave the bike to us, said it wasnt about money, it was more about getting into the hands of someone who would make sure that where ever it ends up - it continues to end up in hands that have a sense of dignity and honor for what it represents.. WOW,, what an honor.. I told them about the blessings in my life that I have found meeting people on Craigs (I have met a LOT of folks - LOTS of scammers but LOTS of really great folks out there too) and a couple of short stories about people like you that, for some reason,, I end up having the blessing of becoming aquainted with.. Yea Randy,, I, like you and many others on this site and in the world around are truley blessed or Karmalized... Your ol buddy Puc

Dan O',, dont cha meerember your parents, sunday school teachers, school teachers, neighbors, mentors, police officers, bar tenders, drill instructors and probably even the "warden" telling ya over and over again,,,, "ya gotta be careful who you associate with"?? Oh well,, dont feel bad brother,, I got whooped over and over again for harrassing my 5 sisters and 1 brother,,, I still became me too:backinmyday:

You are very very fortunate the other rider was paying attention and watching where he was going,, that could have been a one of a kind bad accident,,, I can see the evening news headlines now,,,,,, "Rider collides with himself, destroys two bikes and must pay x2 for citations issued by twin cops covering the incident.. In further news,, the Victory Motorcycle division of Polaris Industries was indited today for allegedly selling motorcycles with matching VIN numbers

why bump?

My daughter is a Kindergarten teacher out in Sacramento, she had her kids make paper dolls - name them, write a story about each doll and then sent them to us for spring break. We are baby sitting these paper dolls here in Michigan, taking all kinds of pictures of them helping out with chores, going on little outings, experiencing the climate differences.. Here shortly "the kids" gotta go back to California,, back to their young aged parents.. Tippy and I are gonna miss em and wish we could be there when our daughter shares the pictures and tells them alll the stuff their paper children got into while they were gone... Live large and stay young ya'll.... More crazy stuff from the world of.. Puc

Dannnnn,,, you just unsalted one of my friends,,, better nock it off... Indeed Buddy,, I was just setting a trap for YammerDan to come along and fall into,, Hope I aint on the other side of Karma again,, I hate when that happens:whistling:

Ohhh,,, now I get it,,, the Skidster pulls out leaving us to watch over YammerDan:detective:,,, heads to warmer climate to sip Margereeters, we stay here and swat da skeeters,, he's surrounded by warm water and sand,, I am stuck here wid a wrench in my hand,, gotta lotta guts that Skid of ours,,, God keep em safe while he plays under the stars.... HOPE YOU HAVE A BLAST SKID,,, CALL DAN IF YOU NEED TO GET BAILED OUT DOWN THERE - HE KNOWS THAT SIDE OF THE LAW BETTER THAN YOU :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:

You nailed it Pete!! Its a totally different feeling inside,, not that "bad to the bone" stuff that I am accustomed to feeling from a bike,, more of a renewed childish feeling that a gear headed 10 year old would feel inside,, strange but true.... Thanks for the compliments you guys~ Puc

Fat Boy,,, hmmmmm,, I am totally lost here again,, I thought you were back on a Midnight Yam there Buddy,,, oh wellll,, certainly not the 1st time one of you yahoo's has pulled the wool over my eyes... Word of advice there my friend,, depending on the year of your Fat Boy your gonna wanna keep a close eye on the cam chain tensioners.. Well worth the time if ya ask me,,, I love them ol Fat Boys,, one of the coolest bikes HD ever made in my opinion... Hey Dan,, glad everything is headed in the right direction down yonder,, save some fried chicken for me will ya... Puc

Indeed Skid,, have a safe and wonderful journey!! Wish I could join ya brother but its still freezing cold up here... By the way,,, where the heck ya goin padna??

Been spending quite a bit of time playing with this gorgeous piece of World War 2 History... Its a true honor for me to even touch one of these things (guess I am just a sensitive ol Puc) much less ride and play on it.. I know to a lot of people its just another bike,, and a very old one that makes funny noises, is slow (between a 1st Gen Venture and a 1200 Wing,,, bout like a 2nd Gen I guess :rotf:) - putts along about 45 really really nice.. I am finding that it has a way of taking me right back to my early child hood in re-learning to ride.. The foot clutch/hand shift is taking time but ol Pucster is gaining on it... Her new name is Olivia.. Olivia and I would like to invite you to come go for a quick ride with us.. Ohhh come on,,, take a second and have some fun...

My kinda guy Mr. DragonSlayer,, that is foooo shooo... Pretty cool cause most ah dem dare Boss Hossin dudes are pretty hard to get to gawk at anything that dont have a 500 horse V-8 in it,,, once again,, our Dragon Slayer found a way :rotf: Actually Bob,, we have been thinkin bout it for a couple years now,, appreciate the idea and I KNOW you and I would be greeeeeaaaat friends (an trouble) BUT we are probably gonna end up somewhere out in the dry, warm, desert region - this arthritis is killing me,, besides,, kids are in Sacremento,,, cant say ol Cowpuc is ready to put up I-5 traffic BUT, on the other side of the mountains,,, Nevada/Utah - ohhhhh yea.... :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf: Thats AWESOME Bluestreak,, your daughter has some REAL talent...

Sounds like my kinda people,, HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILDHAIR!!!!!!!

i knew that was coming....

Hey Bob,, here ya go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubdyZ9VP7qE, ya might get a kick out of this one too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9dMc2d9lMU,, and speaking of old beater bikes,, couple years ago we heard about the "Cannon Ball Run" while out at Sturgis - pre 1930's bikes going from NYC to Frisco.. We beat foot it homeward to find em and ride with em,, Tippy asked why I wanted to do that, I said cause sooner or later one of them ol bikes is gonna break down and there is always a chance I might get to work on one.. IT HAPPENED!!! I actually fixed a 29 JD for a guy!! Check this out.. Hi Money,, WELCOME!! I love your comment about passing up on the ride cause of conditions,, I have had the scenario happen you mentioned and learned some valuable biking tips from it,, never trust the weather man and if what they say is true, just ride around it,,, who cares if its a few States out of the way:rotf: Please tell your wife that "Tippy" (my wife) just started riding serious cross country with me 3 years ago, before that she stayed home and watched 3 kids while I drove off and took a 4th one touring for a month during the summer.. Kids are growed and gone now so its her turn.. Tell her that Tippy said the best way to find out is start with short rides and work your way up.. Get her on something comfy Money, take lots of breaks along the trail,, ride for the enjoyment of just being together while doing the funnest thing known to man - chasing your shadow on a motorcycle!! Best wishes! Puc

Prayers Up, Blessings Down,, nite neverland.. Puc
