RIP Mr Buck
« on: November 23, 2018, 03:28:55 PM »
Just to let you good folks here know, Ms Buck, aka Aida Chappell, lost her husband Graham last night. Aida has been a member on this board since the very beginning, and she and Graham were long active in the Airhead community, and great friends to everyone they met. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers during the coming days  :'(

Just to let you guys know that just maybe Aida & I may ride together next summer...I am very hopeful. Aida  says she may find it good therapy...I sure hope we can make it happen...Willville...BRP...maybe to National rally in TN. I really have wonderful memories & love for gentle Graham. We ride together still....

That's a great idea Sue, I'll bet you and Aida would have a wonderful time on a good road trip. If you want some company, please holler, I'd love to catch up with y'all somewhere out there, and could probably get SCJJohn to ride along too!

I am also going to try to get the time off in June to do some sort of ride through there. And now with Monte's passing, it reminds one of of the importance of making the most of our time with friends while we can..

Looks like we could have a nice little group to meet up this summer. I am so looking forward to some motorcycle therapy. It's been a long time since I've done any long distance riding, so I'm a bit nervous, but determined! Life is too short to say, maybe tomorrow. I know that all too well now.  :'( Let's do this!!

Now NC Steve, you need to recover well, so you can be a part of this. Been thinking about you a lot these last couple of weeks.
