Default Not gonna make it

Dang it! The surgery I had 6 weeks ago has sure put me down and I had no idea that it would take me this long to heal. A new bike in the shop and can't even ride it.

I am cancelling my room reservations because I am just not physically able to go to the rally this year. I am so disappointed because this is the first one I ever missed and this is the only event I get to see some of my friends. Derek said he is going to come hang out and ride with some of you guys.

Hope you guys and gals have a good time! Pictures please!!!!!!!

Mike

Mannn... That sucks. I was hoping you were going to be able to make it. Wish there was something I could do to help. I understand how you feel. I remember being in the hospital a couple of years ago.

"Dang it" is right, Mike.
I've made 4 in a row, going for 5 this weekend. For those like you, who can't make it this year, we must take steps to insure that this will NOT be the LAST Ocala Rally. As far as the FLCrew goes, I'm guilty of being "Missing In Action" for most of this year. I've done plenty of riding, just not in an organized manner. And even though we're all spread out across the state, the Rally has always brought us together (at least for a few days). I hope we continue the tradition, for as long as there is 93 octane fuel!
So Mike, GET WELL. And when you are ready to ride again, we will RIDE!

Thanks every one!

I agree Steevo! We need to get this Crew back in the saddles again.

Nothing wrong with the bike Pat. I am just physically unable to ride it at the moment.

Hey MJ, sorry to here you can't make the rally, so it sounds like we need to bring the Crew to you. Sounds like a good reason to ride south after the rally, crew ride to lightsey's!! I've been working way to much, taking time off for the rally. David
