I would like to come if I'm invited back and I can bring MacGyver (Garry) too.

I'll keep all of us in my prayers. Ridding a motorcycle is risky enough but when medical issues arise that's where we need help. Knee-mail sent.

Very sad indeed. Never met in person but I would be proud to call you a friend. Rest in peace my friend.

You can do everything right on a bike and still lose.

Looked at your Profile Cecdoo Services offered to members: Lodging, Camping, Tools, Local Guidance / Bike Storage Very nice to help out and the bike looks great.

All the best in your adventure. I can say your moving up in the company and down too. Sounds like a great product that will or is very much in demand. Now you were in Minnesota ? and didn't let anyone know! Sure would have like to have shaken hands. Maybe I'll have to come to your Maintenance Day event to do that. Again Congratulations. Bill & Crew

Sorry about your dogs Jeff & DJH3 it's a very hard thing to get through. I had to put my 5 yr old lab down in October and man was that hard . I have a daughter that I write letters to while she's at school and I told her that Ma asked me what I wanted for Christmas... A dog I said. Well there is Ruby my new best friend 11 week old Springer Spaniel. I have been with her for a week now and she's so sweet. My first Springer but I love them when they are the mellow kind. Both parents were at the farm where they got her. It was their first litter and we'll see how it goes. Again sorry about both of your friends. Bill & Crew

Justin that makes me smile too. Have the best Christmas ever.

Great to hear the everyone is doing better . You are welcome to swing by and stay a while too. Merry Christmas from us.

Kneemail sent. Rest in Peace

Got 40 + years of reloading mostly shotgun for trap . The last 15 yrs. I've been reloading hand gun and rifle rounds. If you're going to shoot more than 5 boxes it pays to reload. When I'm loading match rounds I weight each throw and really concentrate on the task at hand. I would never let someone else shoot my 7mm rounds or I would never shoot someone's reloads. the only exception to this is if I'm right there watching . My friend and I have all the calibers we shoot covered , that helps with the cost to. Reloading is a hobby and the fruit of my hobby is "BULLETS!!" can't lose.

Hang in there Justin. I had know idea it was a hassle that it is. We're rooting for you and your family. Bill

Thanks for the video . I noticed that back then getting your picture was as important as the subject. The men had their good clothes on with ties . this is my great grandfather George Rasmussen he was a rural mail carrier in Emmons Minnesota and he got dressed up for the photo. When motorcycles first came out he got rid of the horse team and used motorcycles from then on. I think this is a 1906 Wagner bike and in 1972 they had an estate sale and sold two old Indians . I thought the rabbit gloves were cooler than them old bikes.

I was advised that if you were going to shoot more than 5 boxes of any ammo get a reloader. So I did and there is great satisfaction and independence doing this. I have shot trap for 40 yrs. and I can buy shells for less than reloading them but I still save the hulls just in case. I'm putting together my first AR 15 defensive weapon today ( all my parts are here) and my next purchases .223 die set .

I like it a lot. If Honda could improve on their design I would like to test drive one of these. The 85 venture Royal I had was the best bike I ever had but the age and maintenance required was above my comfort zone. Then I bought a 02 wing and was surprised how well it fit me (short and chubby )and the get up and go ( it should for 6 cylinders ). I like the Goldwing and this group too.

Hope all is well and getting better in Viroqua. Still praying for you and Sharon .All the best . Bill & Crew

Prayer for my friends in Wisconsin.

Congrats to you both , it's a team effort . And I'll have a knee mail sent for next week . Bill & Crew

Bubber you and your friend sitting on your lap really hit it off Tom how many of those cookies did you eat ? The all Canadian crew .It's so fun to learn about another country and practice their native language. Just the greatest from the north. Tom auctioning off the last cookie . Tom bid and won a Minnesota Vikings #4 Brett Favre jersey ( He doesn't even know who he was ) The group bring items to auction off and raise funds for next years P.I.P . We pay more than they are worth and some even buy back the things they brought . What a great bunch of Family.

Back safe & sound. Thanks for another great time and good to see all of you again.

Sorry to hear this, Prayers up .

Be safe out there Justin , we have more cigars to smoke. Glad to meet you and I want to see more of ya. Glad it missed .

Thanks you guys Orlin & Sharon and everyone else for making the International Rally a great success and a ton of fun. This was a big Bon Fire. Justin had the best of the best working on his electrical issue. The views were spectacular, beautiful country . Bill ,Gary I think she wants her Ice Cream back .

Don't sweat it Orlin we are all adaptable and and I could help you do things when I get there . I'm sure a lot of us could make short order of things. Thanks for putting this on "Again" at you place . Bill
