So Long, Friend

by JzyNails

The gypsy wind,

it called your name,

No time to say good-bye.

You left us here alone, friend,

To take your final ride.

The world it couldn't tame your soul,

You lived your life with pride.

Now you soar free - like the crow,

You're on your final ride.

Your memory won't fade, old friend,

We'll hold you deep inside.

We'd come with you if, we only could,

Upon your final ride.

It's time to say so long, friend,

As you take your final ride.

We'll keep you with us in our hearts,

If not riding by our side.

~Jeff Pritchett~

Morning Wisdome....

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there. - Monica Baldwin

Wise Poetry...

THE REASON

You sit behind the handlebars,

while the engine plays it's tune,

you ride by soul, more than touch,

as if guided by some acient rune.

You think, as we all have,

you look within as you ride,

without thinking about it,

without thought for pride,

for true bikers dont ride for glory,

or for the rewards of men,

but for the simple joy of riding,

That's not a what, it's a when.

Like the tale of man an machine,

growing together old,

Something not understood,

by those not of our fold.

Or the joy of building,

a new ride and friend,

that will be ridden,

until the end,

of life or of the road,

for in this life we chose,

there is not a lot of difference,

between the two of those.

Preacher, 5/2004

Motorcycle Wisdom...

Life's greatest pleasures are the simple ones, like seeing the driver who cut ahead of you on the freeway pulled over by the police 3 miles down the road.

With respect...

Eric ...my missing brother...I spent the day yesterday riding in the mountains and remembering you...

you'd have loved it!

I spoke with some of our brother's and sisters of the road and we had a moment to remember "absent friends" in the morning before we left - we felt you there...in the mountains and the treesI thought about how much we miss your laughter, I thought about the way life has changed over the year since you've been gone...I thought about how often we reflect upon you and speak of you...

I thought about your children and YHe's -

Know that we are all well brother - just as I know that you watch over us when we are spending our days...

riding...

in the mountains...

thinking of you.

You gotta be smart enough to understand the rules of motorcycling, and dumb enough to think the games important.

Motorcycle Wisdom...

-If the countryside seems boring, stop, get off your bike, and go sit in the ditch long enough to appreciate what was here before the asphalt came.

Famous Author Wisdome

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - Mark Twain

I'm Tickled Pickle!

the VOD drove me up to Qualicum today to Doug n Mary Rhyorchuk's to pick up the Pickle - upon arriving I was met by our PO Doug who'd decided to ride around the block with 9 or 30 times to make sure all the kinks were out....

as I was gearing up for the first time since the July long weekend - I pulled a total Karen and suggested that I might need gas to which the PO announced that I shouldn't as he'd filled it up prior to taking it over to Doug R's house...so we geared up and headed out - I'm having fun with the new clutch - it's one o them on or off and no in between - but I'll get used to it :o)

We went up to Coombs and Doug stopped at the Army Surplus to buy something and surprise surprise were joined by 468 for a brief chin wag before Doug and I headed to Nanaimo for lunch

just as we were about to turn off the highway to go into town the Pickle stalled dead and wouldn't go no how - I coasted over to the side of the road and Doug and I commenced to figurin what it could be....we puzzled for a bit and then low and behold Doug exclaims..."I think yer outta gas"...and I was....Doug slapped his forehead as he remembered that Doug H has put 1000 kms on the motor to break it in - so of course it needs gas...and me -- I'm such a freakin girl - I didn't even look (you'd have think I learned that lesson last fall when that kid said "sure...yer oil's fine lady)

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time - and while I was laughing 180 pulled in for a visit - so they waited for me while Doug went for gas....while we were waiting Little Quicky and Slyboy stopped for a hug on their way up island for a romantic brunch for their Anniversary (HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LYNN AND LEN!) and then Rake stopped by for a hug n a chin wag too!

Doug came back with gas and then he and I and Jeff (Muttly) went for lunch and a chin wag - when we were done we rode with Doug to Ladysmith where he stopped for a visit and Muttly to Mill Bay where he stopped for a visit and then on home over the Hat...just like an adult - all by my own self

I cannot tell you how good it felt!!!!

the only down side for the day was hitting that paving on Helmecken at 50k and my new fender snapped off. Apparently that trike just doesn't want a fender...and that's it....but hell - I'll worry about that when the rain comes :o)

Once again I need to thank Doug Coval - instigator extraordinaire, Doug Rhyorchuk mechanic extraordinaire (who popped a wheelie on the Pickle and scared himself silly!) and Muttly painting dude extraordinaire! Words cannot express my heartfelt thanks.

YAAAAAAAAAFREAKINHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Lookout Princeton - here we come!!!!!!!!!
