JUST WANTED TO SAY HI.... I HAVE A GREAT STORY ON HOW I FOUND THIS FORUM, AND WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IT. MY WIFE AND I WERE ON A ROAD TRIP IN JULY WHEN ***POP*** WE HAD A BLOW OUT ON ROUTE 491/666 IN NEW MEXICO. THANKFULLY THE BIKE STAYED STRAIGHT AND WE STOPPED WITH OUT A PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH, WE WERE 60 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP WE HAD JUST LEFT, AND WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INDIAN RESERVATION IN THE DESERT. FIRST I CALLED HOG ROADSIDE AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD GET ME A LIFT BACK TO TOWN. DURING THAT TIME, A FEW CARS PULLED OVER TO SEE IF WE NEEDED ANY HELP AND TOLD US TO BE CAREFUL IN THIS AREA. THEN A COUPLE OF BIKERS PASSED BY. A MOMENT LATE ONE TURNED AROUND AS THE OTHER STAYED AHEAD ABOUT 1/4 MILE. HE, BILL, PULLED OVER AND ASKED WHAT HAPPENED. WE STARTED TALKING AND BEFORE LONG HIS WIFE ALSO SWUNG HER BIKE AROUND AND JOINED US. BILL TRIED TO REACH A FRIEND IN THE AREA, BUT HE HAD LEFT FOR VACATION. SO THESE FELLOW BIKERS STAYED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CHATTED WITH US IN THE 105 DEGREE SUN FOR OVER AN HOUR. I WANTED TO THANK BILL AND HIS WIFE FOR DOING THAT. BILL IS THE ONE WHO TOLD ME ABOUT THIS FORUM AND HOW MUCH FUN HE HAD IN HERE. SO NOW THAT I AM BACK TO WORK I FIGURED I WOULD SAY THANKS...
BY THE WAY, MY WIFE AND I STOOD ON THE HIGHWAY FOR 2 1/2 MORE HOURS AFTER BILL LEFT.

Welcome Home Scott! Sounds like you met up with our own Bill Nourse. He's a here isn't he? Enjoy the forum, we're glad to have you.

 

Glad you got squared away. You have to be talking about Bill Nourse, he and his wife live in Northern New Mexico and both ride. I believe he was moving the mascot when you ran into him. I've had the honor of tlaking with him on the phone, he and his wife seem like terrific people, and aren't afraid to ride.

Post a pic of that ride when you get the chance, and hope you stick around.

P.S. Check your caps lock, I think it's stuck! (considered shouting when in all Caps).

Howdy, welcome to the forum. Good story about a fellow rider stopping to help you out. Hopefully you'll have better luck on your next trip.

"I believe he was moving the mascot"

Mac,

Actually we were on the way to the Fire and Ice Rally in Grants. I wish I had known it was going to take so long for the wrecker. If so, I would have just gone back to the house and got a trailer.

Regards,

Bill

 

Great story. Welcome to the forums. There's a great bunch of people here and once I found the site, I was hooked for good. ENJOY!!! Oh yeah, let's see some pics of your bike.

 

Scott,

I agree with Ted. Let's see some pictures of your bike. I've had the pleasure of seeing it, so share with the rest.

Regards,

Bill

 

Lynne and I have gotten to know Bill and Arleen over the past several months and what he did comes as no surprise to me whatsoever. They are good folks!
