R65 dot org patches are HOT!

[Joan]

[size=12] 8-) These are THE cool guy thing for the R65 rider, good quality and they look so nice, they will last!
THANK YOU Melena for doing all the work to get them!  [smiley=clap.gif] [smiley=clap.gif] [smiley=clap.gif]

When I've got one attached to my gear somewhere, I'll post a pic. If I remember how. 



Now then, the R65 Tatt Day 2/24 is still on... any other committed R65 riders? Besides me?

...  ?  

....? ..... ?

Hey, I NEED this tatt, for therapy reasons! Yes! Because I finally went to the doc yesterday for a nagging pang in my left shoulder, all crunchy from the KLR get-off last August and not getting any better, making it harder and harder to push pull Gram in and out of the car... and I knew what the doc was gonna say.  

So in case you didn't know, the scritchy scratchy, temporary ouchie of a tattoo will entirely take your mind off any other owies you have, including stoopid six month old mc crash fractures that won't heal.

So ya'll come on up to Seattle on 2/24, I got wifi, guest room, bikes to ride, beer, antique cats, and the Fenix Tattoo downtown.   [smiley=thumbsup.gif]  [/size]

   YES!  Melena is aces for getting those made - with her own money, to boot!


So what did the doc say about the nagging pang?  I would like to get rid of mine...  

I am also curious what the doc had to say about your prospective "pain relief"?  You did tell him what you planned to do, didn't you?

I have a BMW tattoo mixed in with all the others on my arms don't think I need a R65 tat though as my other beemers might get jealous.

Hmmm.... what size is that BMW tatt? And where is it? Is like the standard blue/white propeller black circle and "B M W" logo up there in the corner or maybe like Wild Bill's outta this world eyeball? Hmm..hmm.. (deep thought)...

Now you've got me all in a dither! Argh! Thanks a LOT.

I think my massage therapist can fix just about anything.  Sadly he no longer takes new patients, lives most of the year where I support him in luxury in HI, and they (M. T.) are definitely not all created equal.  I think lots of times nagging injuries have, in fact, healed all they are going to, but left scar tissue which will continue to irritate and inflame the surrounding tissue.

Getting some of this stuff fixed, for me, has definitely hurt worse than the initial injury, but when he was done it was obviously fixed.  Very dramatic.

I don't need any tattoos, but I would love to make it up there some time.  Are they ever going to suspend the speed limit on that crummy I5?

When she saw the films I brought back from the nice radiology lady, I got a good scolding, but so what? They have no PT slots for SIX WEEKS.  [smiley=wall.gif] And I thought no riding for the past three weeks was bad... PMS SUCKS CANAL WATER.

And no, Rob, I got smarter then and didn't mention the planned whisky and tattoo palliatives.

Oh yah, I've got an MT like that, Bevin K, a couple blocks from the office, but the fracture needs more time (still??) to heal before I can start a good Rolfing session.

Anyhow, come on up, Ed! I don't need any tattoos either! Only 2.5 leisurely hours on I-5 from Portland! Fenix Tattoo on 1st Avenue is open Saturdays 12pm to 2am. I'll drop by there sometime next week to show the tattoo guy the 1"x 2" R65 outline and ask for estimate$.

And no thanks to The [smiley=evil.gif] Lowen, now thinking about adding a Wild Bill Eye Ball to the design!

My BMW tat is a speedometer pegged at 100mph with a ton up spade logo in the center of the speedo and BMW blue and white as the back ground looks good with my 59 club logo right next to it.

[Justin B.]

Well, maybe go the Von Dutch route and put wings on Bills eyeball!

Way to go Lowen!  Can you post a pic of that, or is it just a design so far?  Sadly my BMW speedo pegs at 85, so it just wouldn't be the same.  Too bad I can't peg the Bonnies 150 mph speedo.    I always like those ton up guys' web site, tho the rockabilly music blairing always startles the heck out of me.   No chapters around here that I know of.

Not a very good pic but hey I just took it with my phone. My 84 R65 came with a 120mph speedometer but it died and now I have one the 85mph jobs.

...I don't see any picture.  What is the rabbit?  (I clicked on your www link and saw you in the chat room!)

All I see a small red ex box thing. Poo!

Say... I think I've heard of the 59's, but where I heard about them is another question. And I've been to DFW, like, a couple weeks ago! Yes! Plus I'll be at Howard and Jill's wedding next month, just outside DFW. Ya'll going to the wedding? Howard's got a couple cute little R80's.

If the pretty R65.org patch weren't so durn LARGE I'd get a tatt just like it, butt... I'm still leaning toward the simple "R65 outline". And Jeeez, I'd better hurry up and get the design finished!

[Lowen]

How about now?

[Joan]

How about now?

"How do you like me now?" (massive giggles) W000t!

I bow down to The  [smiley=evil.gif] Rocker Mod Known As Lowen! That's genius use of the propeller logo. Subtle, classy, excellent.

My single "R65" is looking kind of plain to me now. Mostly because of the extra stuff there with the speedo.

Hmmmm... now I'm thinking:   flaming R65 WildBill eyeball tatt? Yeah... um, appropo considering my grenaded motor.  

That's really cool upper arm art! I know I wouldn't be able to sit still for much of that, so you are TOUGH!
