It's all your fault..........

I just remembered my brother shot some video on our Ozarks ride last year the week before the Rocket ride happened. Here's the clip he shot and edited while riding my Thunderbird Storm. I was riding trail on my Rocket GT.

Just joined the forum so I could track this thread!

I'll be joining my father-in-law @atomsplitter for the upcoming Arkansas ride. I will be bringing my 2010 Triumph Speed Triple Special Anniversary Edition for the ride. Looking forward to some great rides and hopefully much cooler weather than what we're currently experiencing in Texas!

I also own a 2020 Triumph Bobber Black, and have recently been scouting out R3 for sale ads.........just don't tell my wife!

The R3 is definitely a Hooligan Bike. I purchased my R3 just south of Ft Worth.

Pistola Grande, do you know that half of the forum members show up to RAAs riding everything but a Rocket? What can one expect from them while on the phone or computer?

Nice bikes!!! Cant wait to see them in person, and welcome to the mad house!

Well.........I just got back from the hematoligist, still batteling a rare blood disorder called ITP. Causes your immune system to destroy your own blood platelets. I've been trying to find a way to manage it for 6 years and it just gets worse with every visit. I've tried over a dozen drugs, infusions and chemo treatments all to no avail. I was told by my DR. today that this is the worse case he has ever seen. He is going to try and get me into a clinical trial here in OKC. He also told in no uncertian terms not to go on a 4 day motorcycle ride!

So, to make a long story short, I'm not going to be able to make it this year. I'm sure that most any of you guys can do the routing as well as me, the 4 routes I recommended should be great, and just about anywhere around there is good as most of you know.

Phil, let me know if no one ends up using our room and I will send you the $$$ for my share.

I'm so sorry for having to bail, I was so looking forward to this trip, even bought and refurbished an Iron Horse wide body trailer that will fit Mindy's Can Am and my bike.

Hope you guys & Gals have a great time, I'll be watching for updates.

Lonzol that qualifies as a true bummer. Hope your guinea pig treatment works gangbusters, we like having you around. I'll be sure to quaff one in honor of all those that couldn't make it (shouldn't take more than a couple full kegs). Get better sooner than you hope.

Oh, no! Man, don’t even worry about the money, you just work on getting yourself healthy!

Hope you get better Lonnie, health is more important than a bike ride.
