Default Hey Guys

Sorry for being MIA. Unfortunately it wasn't for the right reasons. My Dad passed away a couple weeks ago and I spent alot of time in CT to help take care of him prior to his passing. Anyway, I've missed alot of riding and would like to get some seat time in. I'll be checking back in for some local rides. Although I know some of you (911c2) don't like the cold. Looking forward to getting together.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your father. We still ride on Sundays as long as the weather is suitable for riding, even if it is a little cold. (Right Steve? LOL) Maybe we'll catch ya next week Mike.

I know what you're going through, Mike. I lost my Mom to a cerebral anuerism back in '91. She was only 44. I still miss her to this day. I have my Dad and my sister, but they live 400 miles away in Virginia and I only see them about once a year.

Thanks, I don't pay any more alimony so I bought a brand new ride.

Mike, I know all too well about this situation. Lost my mom last Sept the day I was leaving for the Roar, so I totally understand. Very sorry for your loss just know that he is in a much better place than this place right now! My prayers go out to you and your family!
Ride safe my friend!

Aron just showed me the thread. Really sorry to hear about your Dad Mike. If there is anything you need, let us know.

I was out with Glen this weekend at Hoboken MC and we said we had a really nice group but we hadn't heard from Pres in a while. Well, I guess now we know why.

BTW, it's not that I didn't like the cold, until I got divorced, well, I didn't have clearance to buy any clothes. Got the papers, bought myself a new leather jacket, rode Saturday night till about midnight, Sunday till 8 or 9...

Hey Mike sorry about your dad. I know the drill as well... Hang in there and we'll see you when we can. As Steve mentioned I thought of you the other day and said where the ^&LL has Pres been. Actually it was on the way to meet up with Steve on Sunday, passing through Lincroft.
