OE it sounds like your last trip to a bike week was in 72. Was there more going on then smoking and drinking? I dont drink and drive, and I dont feel comfortable to drink or smoke socialy. From the pictures they look like a lot of bike polishing going on.

Those were the days my friend, I thought they'd never end..... FORTUNATELY they did or I might not be here today. lol

ps: I wasn't drunk or stoned, just a little high.

I went to motorcycle week each year from 1966 to 1972. Back then all you needed to do was claim your spot along the highway, pitch a tent and party for the week. After the Hells Angels incident they banned all roadside camping, I never went back, kind of took the fun away for me.

In another thread I told about my arrest and jail time in Laconia. I was smoking a joint and drinking a beer while on my bike... just having fun.

The last time I went to bike week in Laconia was on my honymoon back in 1972 and we both spent the night in jail. Had a 1949 suicide clutch panhead fully chopped.

Pic was taken at Laconia 1970

Just went out back and picked a mess of fiddleheads. MMMMM sure are good eat'n.

One of the reasons I stayed in TWI was because of the fine friends that I made and still are close to today. I keep coming back here for the same reason.

((((((happy birthday)))))

My wife has asked me many times why I post at GS. She says I never got involved with TWI and didn't like the people or the program so why do I spend so much time here?

During the WayDale time my bio said I post because I wanted to hastle TWI and Ex-TWIers. Satorii called me out on that.

I really don't belong here as I never believed, although I did go WOW for my wife's sake. I went along for the ride.

Maybe that is why I am here.... Just for the ride.

My wife informed me that the shirt I mentioned above is over 20 years old. LLBean cost a little more but they sure last.

Right now I am wearing an LL Bean shirt that I bought 15 years ago. It still fits so why throw it away and buy a new one? I can honestly say that 90% of my clothing are at least 10 years old. Each year I ask for stockings, under shorts and T-shirts for fathers day. What more does a man need?

Go to the hardware store and buy some "HEMP" rope and burn a little of it for atmosphere.

I now look forward to being able to get a 'senior discount' (free coffee) at McDonalds when I turn 55; THEN my life will be complete.

Right on Shellon

Every time I hear a statement like " gawds word says" I want to puke.

Still looking.

I also have a ring that Julie Doop left for me to repair that I had originally made for her 25 years ago.

At 56, what I use to do all night now takes all night to do.

Congrats Shell. My daughter is 28 and no grandchild in site yet.

Gosh, I'll bet lots of us would LOVE to read that book, TheEvan! Do you know if it is still in print?

I have 6 copies of the book. What do you bid?

I think I did it too fast I went back and thought about it and came up with "48% Yankee"

Me a romantic?? I don't think so.

Thanks everyone. It was sort of a sad day, my daughter left for Japan on my birthday. She will be attending college in Oita Japan to get her masters in "Asian Affairs".

....and I dont know what you mean by Patriotic, we must have different definitions of Patriotism because I don't see anything patriotic about this man or his company. They are capitalists and profiteers, patriotism doesn't enter into the mix.

Masters of War - Bob Dylan

Come you masters of war

You that build all the guns

You that build the death planes

You that build the big bombs

You that hide behind walls

You that hide behind desks

I just want you to know

I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'

But build to destroy

You play with my world

Like it's your little toy

You put a gun in my hand

And you hide from my eyes

And you turn and run farther

When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old

You lie and deceive

A world war can be won

You want me to believe

But I see through your eyes

And I see through your brain

Like I see through the water

That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers

For the others to fire

Then you set back and watch

When the death count gets higher

You hide in your mansion

As young people's blood

Flows out of their bodies

And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear

That can ever be hurled

Fear to bring children

Into the world

For threatening my baby

Unborn and unnamed

You ain't worth the blood

That runs in your veins

How much do I know

To talk out of turn

You might say that I'm young

You might say I'm unlearned

But there's one thing I know

Though I'm younger than you

Even Jesus would never

Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question

Is your money that good

Will it buy you forgiveness

Do you think that it could

I think you will find

When your death takes its toll

All the money you made

Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die

And your death'll come soon

I will follow your casket

In the pale afternoon

And I'll watch while you're lowered

Down to your deathbed

And I'll stand o'er your grave

'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Yup, same wife for 29 years. It worked because she believed and I didn't.

Has Jimmy Doop posted somewhere on GS? I sure would like to see it. Jim performed the wedding cerimony for my wife and I back in 1976 and I have always had respect for him.

Happy Birthday Abigail.
