Where's Lou?
« on: December 16, 2012, 08:42:29 PM »
Has anyone heard from Lucky Lou since the old gunslinger set off to explore Colorado, in late November (or did I miss it)? I know this forum is for "Announcements", so consider this...an interrogative announcement.

Burt, Lou had to postpone his trip to The Colonies, but he's still dishing out advice and his personal brand of wit n' wisdom here in the R65 asylum.

We haven't heard much from you lately either. What n' where you riding these days?

Still here on the "wrong" side of the pond, sadly no medical reprieve so no insurance...... hoping for a better result next year (June) fingers crossed.

Still riding, Gertie is mothballed untill easter Willie (the K) is my winter hack .....heated grips i must be getting soft in my old age.
Thanks for asking, a better question may be "wheres Trolle"

I miss Trolle and his weather reports.  Hope he's OK.

Good to know that Lucky Lou's not at the bottom of some Colorado ravine, waiting for someone to respond to his Tracker SOS....

Older and creakier... Still riding my R65, but I have no riding partners here in the Houston area, so travel a lot less.
I've been reminscing about my early trail-riding days, so bought an 89 Honda NX250 that has now been "functionally refurbished"-- hope to pick it up in DFW in the near future. Also acquiring a 75 Yamaha DT175B untitled "rolling basket case": The not-so-grand plan calls for the Christmas-day (surprise) launch of a bonding project with 20-year-old grandson, who's gotten the bug.

All of your plans Tx_Burt sound exciting to me. Just the kind of bikes I like!! Esp. the Yamaha!
1983 R65LS - LRB still my favourite!? 1988 Honda NX250, "Toodles Too" and a Suzuki DR650, "Calypso." All stored in the "Brrrmmm Closet".
