Long time no see

**Idaho** · 03-24-2020, 09:44 PM

Greetings, You can tell from my membership number that I found this site just after it started and I made a lot of great friends on here. Met many at a few rallies over the years. I finally got the Nomad out of my system and sold it this summer, it had 87,000 miles on the fun meter.

Now, I have a few things left over for sale. I've posted a couple of them in the classifieds. Leather jacket, Nomad backrest with the chrome frame pieces, chrome luggage rack, I also have a maintenance manual for the 1600s and a few misc parts.

I had a great time while I was on here. Time to move on.

Did you buy another bike ?

When its time to move on we all know it Bud.
Its not time for me yet. FYI, my VBA number is 9

No, I did not. I bought a 2018 F150 and love it.

Somebody had to lead the way. Says a lot that you are still here.

**Top Cat** · 03-25-2020, 11:36 AM

I don't know about leading the way but I am still here because I am old school and stubborn as hell

Speaking of old school.

I assume that F-150 has an onboard GPS system so you don't have to rely on your paper maps.

It works through my phone. Never used a gps device before and it proved to be rather interesting at times. Like when I drove into the Twilight Zone while trying to find Maggie Valley. I swear I heard banjos.

That is what I was thinking of when I posted about the maps.
Those were some fun times Bud.

Well in this case a 5 is more impressive than a 9.

schoeney told you to go to bed

obviously he doesn't know you have no time for that with all the traveling you and Marie are doing since you retired.

I miss you guys. TC, I don't think I've laughed as hard as we did since Maggie Valley.

Yeah I think of that often Bud. You and I were the only ones that stayed up late that night, well late for me anyway. It was a riot watching you fill your pockets with crackers for the trip home

Chuck A. · 03-26-2020, 09:09 PM

Don't stop now guys. We all love a good story.

Was I drunk? 'Cause I don't remember that part.
