OK Folks, here is the Thanksgiving list so far. I sure hope so more people and even families decide to go. John Irvine Las Cruces, New Mexico (505) 522-3157 John Frazer San Fransisco, California (415) 332-6967 Ron Criswell Dallas, Texas (972) 243-8058 Jim Sherlock Austin, Texas (512) 280-4682 Come on folks, sign up for this little holiday get together. Bring the family, bring the kids. At least on of the guys is bringing a RV and is planning on cooking a Turkey. Hey, you Houston riders, get hold of me through e-mail or squawk line. We want to reserve a group site and that will require a minimum number of people. I'm not sure how many yet, but I am looking into it. Come one, come all. I predict it will be a blast. Right now, my family is following in the Taurus while I ride the bike. Then again, we only live in Austin. A good days ride should get us to Big Bend. Hope you decide to join us. If you would like to join just send me an e-mail with your name, City and State location, and a telephone number where you can be reached. Also, in light of what recently happened with our lost brothers, it may be prudent to file at least a generic flight plan in case someone no shows. Hope you'll join us. Jim KLR650Pilot

KLR, DR, XT, Tiger, Cagiva,BMW, and KTM riders, we are trying to put together an event in Big Bend, Texas. We are hoping to enlist entire families to come out and ride, socialize, and eat Turkey. One or two of the listers are bringing RV's as well. We would like to reserve the larger group campsite so if you would like to attend, please contact me off list. The dates are 11/21 through 11/25. We realize that everybody may not be able to take that much time away from home or work, so if you can just make it for a couple days, that would be great. I have never been to Big Bend but I hear it is beautiful with different types of riding available. Street riding, and dirt road riding. This outing should be a blast. Lots of friends getting together for some Holiday cheer. Also, would the lister that is bringing the RV and first Turkey contact me off list. I have some questions and I would like to discuss them with you. Thanks AMA585601

For those of you that I have chosen to share the details of my current disability, I received some bad news the other day..... In my apology letter I mentioned some hard times. To give you an idea of the way my luck has been running. Yesterday I was told by a surgeon that I was going to have to live in pain the rest of my life. Then I went out to remove the dash bezel on my Blazer, since the thieves broke it. I could not get the LED light out of the dash. So, I figured, break it the rest of the way. One swing of the ball peen hammer and the head flies off the handle and smacks my windshield which creates a starburst crack about 11 inches in diameter right in front of the drivers seat. This just hasn't been my best year at all. Oh well, it can only get better. Jim AMA585601
