Please send your prayers, your strength,

I'd also like to meet more of you - it seems the past couple tries to meet with Sue and Dan from VT met with failures to connect.
I'm thinking of going to the MOA in Wisconsin next year, but I don't think I could stay scrunched up on my R65LS that long... so it
may have to be aboard the Kawi.   On the other hand, I've noticed a pretty clean, low mileage 81 R100RT and 81 R100RS for sale in my area,
but the wife will definitely flip if I have (3) bikes in the garage. Hmmm.  Maybe its time to finish cleaning out the barn and turning
it into my own Vroom closet. (thanks, Sue !)

Or, you could put the wife and her car in the barn, and have space for 3 more bikes in the garage!  

(...just kiddin', just kiddin'....... )

All of our cars sit outside and we have 4 bikes in the garage!  

As far as a get-together, this might be a good excuse for everybody that is so inclined to try and make the "unofficial" boxerworks rally in Big Cedar, OK, next spring.  It's in the middle of May, about in the center of the continent, and in the middle of some of the best "twisties" in the country.

Yep, we have 4 motorcycles in the garages and our cars sit outside.    You guys just need to get your wives riding, too!

As far as the "unofficial" boxerworks rally in Big Cedar, OK, next spring, I think that's the ticket!!  Keep us informed on dates, location as it gets closer, Justin.  Probably at least a couple od days ride for me, so a little planning is involved.

I, too, want to make it to Chief Joseph.  Heck it's only maybe 3 hours away from me!  I never go anywhere.  

I know how you feel, Ed.  I feel guilty whenever I leave my cat for more that overnight.  :-/

Ken's in Oklahoma was fun last spring.  I tried my darndest to get to the fall rally, but "my spirit was taking a midnight creep", as it were.  
I think that job was affecting me in more ways than I thought.

[size=16]I RODE TO WORK TONIGHT!!![/size]

It was 52 F and sunny when I got up at 1:30 this afternoon.  As soon as the weather came up on the computer I knew - I was going riding!  (It is 43 and clear, no wind as I write this at 3 AM...) Even though my commute has been shortened by half (15 minutes), I didn't mind getting dressed for such a short ride!  While working at the state, I probably only rode maybe 10 times this year.  I also had to park two blocks from where the computer room was.  Now my heart is free as I learn this delightfully quaint computer system, in a nice old building...it is what I have been searching for since my first "real" job at the home office of Danners, Inc., a family owned business of about 100 5&10¢ & department stores throughout Indiana, and it was just so cool!.  But the old man eventually died, and the kids ruined it.  I lasted 8 years, 1978-1986.  

I feel like I am back there, again, and I am young, and I can ride all year!



I predict the mother co. will outsource it within 2 years.

I recommend you spend some time on the forum and get a feel of the place.

The very first page has a list of characters and a map of where they are coming from.

I am not on the list/map, because I have a bad habit of not showing, and it is embarrassing for me.  

This is the link to the thread on the rally:

I am already making arrangements with my new employer for the long (Thurs-Tues) weekend off.
I asked sloth if I could crash at his place (south of Tulsa) on the way down.  He thought that sounded fine!

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
