Jerry, you are now at the top of the reserve list for '07! Got home to find my i-connection down, so no pic's for a while. Good Buell news; not broken stud, just missing nut! Bad Buell news, vibration(?) fractured both mounting flanges on my Kooks muff, so... Bob , you out there? Funjimmy, you are so right about keeping us riding together, I ain't never had so much fun! Well, back to work... sooner, Galen |

no, she meant Eric Barrows, i.e. EBear. sheesh. tenth anniversary it is, and we need to lean on BRAG NOW if there's a chance to get that OTHER Eric Erik feller to show up. Loni, are you up for contacting BRAG and seeing if we could pull this off??? my last formal "leg work" for a BRAG ride went very, very well (day three of the California BRAG Touring Adventure a couple years back), but that was when Leslie (Prevish) Hudson was running the gig, and i don't have any face time with Peggy or Mary, the current honchas.

Can someone advise me of the changes this year for BORDER Raid? It has been about three years since I last attended. Thanks... Paul |

My pic for Best in Show, T-shirt catagorie, was Mr. SporyEric's entry. A picture of Mr. Bush, and a few of his henchmen, caption... 'The Bush F**k the World tour' har har. As soon as my web connection is back up, I will post some very flatering images of Kimberly. She tryd hard to dodge my lens, but to no availl!

FMJ, that's Eric D (Sportyeric) that probably NEEDS an invite for the next few SPLASHes. To offense intended to those who serve. Just to the boneheads that sent them there. I'll search up a Captain America T for the next one. |

While I know many folks don't have the highest regard for those in my line of work, I'm asking that if anyone is looking for a ride this Sunday, to please join me in a fundraising ride for Troutdale officer Mike Kellogg. Mike was diagnosed with Leukemia back in February and has been having to go through chemotherapy. He needs a bone marrow transplant. This Sunday there will be a fundraising motorcycle ride starting from Latus motors in Gladstone from 9 to 10am and ending with a bbq lunch hosted by Junki Yoshida (Yoshida Foods) in Troutdale. There will be prizes. Entry is $15 per persone. It's a 135 mile route through Hood River. I've known mike for several years and he's a great guy. For more info, and to read more about Mike and his family, you check out http://www.ci.troutdale.or.us/kellogg/. Hope some of you can join me. Cheers, Eric |

While I know many folks don't have the highest regard for those in my line of work... i think it's the other way around, Eric, i think MOST of us have the highest regard for those in your line of work. i know WE do. please keep us posted about Mike, and tell him that we're pulling for him.

Most of us do have a high regard for you and your colleagues. We just hope not to be caught when we're doing our Buelligan shenanigans. Can't make the ride but I am registered with the Red Cross as a bone marrow donor. (Requires that I give blood at least once a year so they can keep track of me.) Good luck. |

Galen, Thanks for the pics!!! Wish I could have made SPLASH this year. But life extends beyond my selfish desires to ride. I do miss my Buellin family and your pics make me feel virtually there with them. Thanks again for the pics, post more if you have them. (Message edited by spudman on July 27, 2005) |

HELP-HELP-HELP OK I recently got an e-mail from a prominet member of the BadWeb who is quite upset with me and the picture of the goofy upside down cross on Betty. Please if the folks that have seen it tell me what your feelings are. This person thinks I have horns, not that I'm just horny. sooner, Galen |

I’m back from the honeymoon and all married and stuff, good times. Sounds like SPLASH was great, sorry I missed it. Next year is the 10th anniversary of SPLASH? I am more than happy to do anything BRAG related to make this an event. I have much more time for BRAG stuff now. Did everyone remember the BRAG meeting last Tuesday? I decided not to call everyone from Mexico. This weekend is a Buell demo/promotional thing at Paradise, the first I heard of it was today. They are looking for Bueller’s to lead/chase demo rides both Saturday and Sunday. I am interested and I will get more information, it is compensated but I want to know about the liability protection. Demo rides are every hour or hour and a half, don’t know if the new bike will be there. S1H, Is your bike back together? Can I get my come-along back for a few days? It sounds like I need to put on a new tire for this weekend. |

No liability protection, guess they are going to find another way. Anyone plan on going for a demo? Want to meet up there? |
