    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Hmm...I think I only just missed out on meeting 'Flyin' (Sam right?)...but his name cropped up alot during my apprentice-ship. Rode over with the crew last year though.

    Jeez two years already! Remember the day it happened like it was yesterday. Always think of Sam when passing that corner.

    I think about Sam every time I go round *that* corner. And also quite often while sitting in the sun at the Fush's courtyard. He was a great kid.

    Wow! 2 years already. A lot has happened since then aye.

    Thanks for the reminder Jim, it's always good to reflect.
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

    Thanks for the reminder Jim. I've prostrated myself in front of the CDFO and received a passout. I'll be there.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    I will see if I can make it Jim. Although I never knew Flying I have read his posts, he sounded like a great guy.... very sad.

    Will probably meet you all in Martinborough.

    Sorry, can't make it now. I double booked myself and have just realised.

    Can somebody enlighten the rest of us who weren't around two years ago but might like to join a memorial ride?

    It might become The Cruisy Sunday Morning Ride for this week.
