Some stuff you probably don't care to know

But if your ever at a party and at a loss for words: In one month this site has been visited by
Canada, Mexico, Brazil, S. Africa, Niger, Morocco, Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands, the U.K., Germany, The United Arab Emirates, Romania, Poland, Tajikistan, Thailand, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Russia.

I kind of think thats pretty cool (but then remember I also like putting 9 volt batteries to my tounge while watching the weather channel. Oh! You didn't read that post did you?) And I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth (well who knows, depends on how many 9 volt batteries I've had) But ya know, you gots to wonder “Tajikistan?”. Are they having Motorcycle rights problems over there? Well hell, send a ticket and rent me a Harley (unless you want to pay to ship my bike)and we will raise some hell over there. If you can't afford it holler at one of them dudes from the United Arab Emirates, they sure can. In fact I'm gonna put pay pal on here and if they want to read this stuff they can use some of that oil money to do it.

But this is what really pisses me off. I'm Irish. My Mom was Irish and my dad was Irish Well at least that what me ma said). I'm thinkin that makes me Irish too (don't believe it? ask anyone what has been in me dungeon, I mean tattoo shop. I got's the cane from a Leprechaun I damn near caught hangin on me wall). So what I want to know is how come not one damn hit from Ireland. So look here dudes or dudettes from the U.K. Do me a favor, take a little hop over there and drag some of them Irish folk out of the bar/pub/tavern and show em what a damn computer looks like.

And heres a real kicker. Not one damn hit from Mississippi. I can't get ticked over this though. I've been to Mississippi. I understand.

HEY, it can't all be serious can it? rcAdd to Technorati Favorites

Paying respects

Yesterday evening about 12 of us headed from Tally to Bainbridge for the annual Vietnam Vets ceremony. Unfortunately we were a little late (or they were a little early) and it was in progress when we got there. No matter. We showed. And thats what counts. I was a little disappointed considering the numbers of "bikers" partying at the festival (Bainbridge Bikefest) that there wasn't a larger turn out. Oh well I guess everybody has priorities. For some it's partying. For some it's paying respects due the ones that fought for ones freedom to party I reckon. Still it is sad . And will be sadder still when we wake up some morning to hear our freedoms are gone. Thats not far fetched. We lose more daily.

Today it was up early to hit the road again. This time it was two of us leaving Tally for Bonifay where we met up with contingents from Panama City and Dothan, Ala. (and few from points in between), to pay our respects as Mr. James McNeil, a 22 year Navy Veteran and avid Harley rider who was put to rest with honors in Westville, Florida.

I never know how to answer people from other areas when they ask what can be done to get the Tallahassee riders more involved. Other than having Funerals at Hooters I just can't seem to put my finger on it. But see, that too does not matter once you hear the gratitude in the voices of a fallen warriors loved ones when they see that there are those who recognize that it was more than just "another number" that was placed in grave.

The Vietnam Vets suffered much in an ill conceived war and more from an ungrateful country.
My prayer is that this country will learn that warriors creed of honor, duty, respect applies to civilians too. For pics click here. Ride Free and never forget why you can........rcAdd to Technorati Favorites
