josh (can't remember his handle), spends half his life in asia.
he is probably actually a cia spy or a highly paid assassin.

mort is on a list of mine too.
...for different reasons.
you probably have that list also.

LOL... that would be Yinzer and he's back in the US from what I can remember (not much these days...).

I don't know if Mort is still alive... have not been riding much in these areas since... May.

if so, do i get a bonus point for having the now-wife as a blind date at a TC ride?
great first date: no talking or awkward lapses, plus you CAN sorta feel and/or "notice things" without getting slapped
if you don't count the occasional screams of terror from behind, i found it to be quite a pleasant day for me.

I am still surprised THAT she married you after that...

The ride and the folks you hang out with would have normally been more than enough to scare away even the toughest of the tough...

I will never forget poor girl's face when she walked up in that garage. Blind first date and met 20 celebrating motorcycle pelicans! Whata gal! That was soooo funny!

yes, it's been a bit of an eye opener...and continues. we're having a big "monsters of motocross" reunion on halloween and i've been trying to prep the girl.

she's seen a friend in a wheelchair pick a fight with a security guy. she thinks steve stackable is the most normal, since he only jumps off cliffs with hang gliders and such. she's starting to see that if you break a collarbone or ankle on sunday, it's no excuse to skip your monday morning meeting. she thought hannah was normal (since his cute little plane was called a "Scout") until she saw video of him skimming the tires while flying down (on?) a river.

we were at a race recently, sitting in a friend's new motorhome having a serious technical discussion about the proper technique to do an e-brake 180 spin in a motorhome with a Tag dual rear axle.

i noticed in that meeting that she's stopped shaking her head. the disbelief has disappeared and now the assumption is that all those guys (and their mechanics) are just plain crazy.
this new attitude is a real time saver for me. lots less explaining to do.

You have to say 'Triple Crown' reservation when you call. So far its all good except for one small (big actually) problem. Its a room quantity issue. I'll figure it out somehow . . . and will post when I do.
