Well I just Cant Help my self. Steve offered up free entry for a Tattoo! So I grabbed my Rally Flag From the 2011 3 day and headed for Epic Tattoo. It is just about 3 miles from the house.About 45 mins later I was a MERA fan for life. I never Realized I had so many freckles on my Shoulder. RJ wanted picks of "Hot Chicks" at the studio? Sorry John it was early on Thursday I was just there at the wrong time. Cant Wait Till I can Give Blood Again!!!!!

MERA 1088 3 day

I have not posted a report following the Utah-1088 you see we lost A friend during this Event.

Ken Morton was riding across Nebraska on his way back from Buffalo New York when he some how hit the center divider on I-80. There were really Bad storms in the area,we can only guess this had something to do with the accident.Ken was a Great rider and well respected in the LD community. I spent several hours with Ken stuck in traffic the day before. We had a good time Chatting about nothing in particular. Ken Smile and fun loving attitude will be missed.

Godspeed Ken

A Stop At A Friends

Well I have been without internet for the last 2 days. So here is a bit of an update. As you will notice in the picture there was a bit of an afternoon storm as I was nearing Denver on Friday afternoon. it rained hard bot not for long so we pressed on arriving at my friend Bobby's place in Mead Co. well before dinner time. We scarfed down some Poppa Murphey's Pizzas. And started the fire for the Massive BBQ Bobby had planed for Saturday.

It only took 1 box of matches before Bobby added a few jiggers of gasoline to the pile of Matchlight and hickory. That Got her going!!! After a n hour or so Bobby started Preparing the Meat. Ribs,Brisket,pork loin , pork butt,and sausage .

Saturday we had a party to celebrate Bobby's 50th birthday . He and his new Lady, Shelly had invited many of their friends over for the evening. We all ate till we were stuffed and had a wonderful time teasing bobby about joining the 1/2 century club. The next morning Bobby ,his son Jason and I jumped on the Bikes and headed for the moutains. But more on that in tomorrow's Blog.
