Yeah, those are the antiques. I got one of the newer solar-powered ones.

Funny you should say...
I was reading this article on how few people understand probability:
When given the choice between having a 10% chance at winning $100 million, or having a 99% chance at winning $1 million, most people choose the 99% chance, even though the return is much greater with choice B.

Lamonster: May 25th Rolling Thunder Washington DC. Any possiblities the banner could make it? Great photos to be taken by the Vietnam War Memorial. Have a group meeting at the Lincoln Memorial from Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Fully understand what you are conveying here. I would like to remind you there will be many group pictures taken over the weekend and with friends and veterans. A group of Spyder Ryders at this Memorial having a picture taken with a banner is far from disrespectful. Being there and honoring the fallen and showing support for those that served and still do is why I will be there.

It's amazing the creature comforts that a Bushteck allows.

These are awesome, Mike--Thanks!!
I know I'm posting alot tonight (avoiding work) but I have to say thanks again to everybody for this memory.
One more:
I checked my answering machine messages from Sunday (yes--today, Tuesday) and my daughter says, "Oh, I think one of the guys you were supposed to meet called to check on you."
I had sent a text message to HDXBONES to whine about the weather and that we were still moving toward our destination.
Sure enough, later while Barb and I were messing with the snow and had not arrived at the diner yet, HDX had called home just to see if we were still alive.
Thanks, bro. :thumbup:
I wonder if recluze, or re-clueless now realizes that you can't stereotype people like that.
If "bikers" are people like HDX and Lamont, and the group that met in Brattleboro, I would be happy, nay, proud to herd with them, wear dead animals, and flatulate.
:yes:
Ouch, I thought this thread was about the banner run. :dontknow: Its taken a tact that isn't normally seen on this forum.
