Paul_Burkett Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 What a great ride and great support. I just found this and couldn't stop reading until I reached the end. Good going Richard, now you know more fully how far you can push your own limits. Link to comment
skyking44 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Marty, is there going to be a dinner/lunch/breakfast for Richard in Atlanta? Let those in Atlanta know. Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I will see him tonight/will post if something is up. Link to comment
StretchMark Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 OK, finally chatted with Richard. I know this is last minute, but how about Sunday Breakfast at 9:00 at Cracker Barrel (GA 400, just East on Windward Parkway. Christine and I are planning a little ride up to the mountains afterwards if anyone cares to join us. Richard will be heading back to South GA after breakfast.

steve404 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Good Going. Wish I had hooked up with this event while you were riding, but I skipped over the thread as I really didn't want to know why you would want cheerleaders after acquiring a little 50 c.c.moped or whatever. Congratulations. Link to comment
skinny_tom (aka boney) Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hey! I'm finally home from 3 days of work, half a "family day" at the station and the afternoon at the Motorcycle show. Whew. Congratulations. 44 hours. Who'da thunk it, eh? Link to comment

aTennesseebmw22 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hi Richard, I have just finished reading all of the pages of your new book. That was AWSOME! 26 pages of Love my friend!! I am sorry I didn't get to be in on this in real time. After reading all of the post I feel like I have just ridden across America myself-with your butt . I had no idea you were doing this. Great Job. This place is amazing, what a supportive group. Are you going to make it to Tennessee. Let me know. Stay safe, David Link to comment
Rocket_Cowboy Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I've done that ride myself. I remember pulling into San Diego at something like 10pm . . . . When I did the ride again this year . . . . Funny, I don't remember getting a call! But I didn't know ya'll yet! Link to comment
Todd_Z1 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Wow Richard, one minute your a communications officer in the Union and the next thing I know your off on and adventure in a parallel universe. It's great to be you right now! Stay safe and look me up for lunch when you get back. Cheers! Link to comment
Firefight911 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Wow Richard, one minute your a communications officer in the Union and the next thing I know your off on and adventure in a parallel universe. It's great to be you right now! Stay safe and look me up for lunch when you get back. Cheers! Hey, I think he has been officially made the comm officer for this DB. We did our best to blow up his phone keeping him on schedule, talking to him, etc.!! You know how long he takes to get rollin'. With Whip as the ambassador and Richard as the comm. officer, let's see, Killer can be the official photographer, and Bakerzdozen the camp doctor. Yea, yea, that's the ticket!!!! Link to comment

BeniciaRT_GT Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 I'm home!!! Left Tom's and drove straight through to home and arrived about 01:00 last night. LA traffic was bad enough, but the roads are the worst in the country! I got the crap beat out of me on those #$@#$!#!#$ing !$#@$$#%%$ roads. I was down to 40 when traffic wasn't a factor because I was convinced my cargo that I went to all this trouble to haul home would be a load of firewood and and kindling! Only one small incident when furniture dolly got partially loose and tried to beat up and mug a table. I caught it in time before it did too much damage. I hope I can find the time to write up my side of the story over the next few days, but it is Christmas, so other duties do take priority, even if Y'all have made it crystal clear you are also family to me. Merry Christmas to everyone and thanks so much for all the "love" I have felt on my trip!!! Link to comment
norah Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Hey Richard (and all the rest), Congrats again and right back at you with a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all!! Link to comment

g_nuse Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Richard, those seat belts are to keep you from hitting your head on the roof of the cab. Merry Christmas...........I hear Santa wants your help this evening, now that you are 50CC qualified. Link to comment

Not really, he got carried somewhere...You missed it!!! But not to worry Bob, I'll extract my revenge at my next Torrey on you, Calender Boy!!! Link to comment
Todd_Z1 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Wait a minute! Just what were you hauling on the back of the GT? A furniture dolly? Table? Did I miss something here? Just some food for thought Rich, the rougher the road the faster you go! Hee, hee! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Cheers! Link to comment
Bob Palin Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 did the slacker go somewhere? Not really, he got carried somewhere...You missed it!!! The only way Richard could have done a 50cc is if he slept with his gloves on, even if he wore mittens we'd all be in the next state before he was ready... (ti od em edam pihw) Link to comment

(ti od em edam pihw) Whip didn't make you do it!!! And I have different gloves now!!! It did not go unnoticed that I got several calls from your compatriots IN BRITAIN but didn't hear your voice harrassing me. It isn't an excuse that you were busy, and didn't even know about it. Cold, the revenge will be served cold... Link to comment

I just got it off the truck and returned the truck...It is all over, except for a house full of stuff that has no room in it for the extra stuff!!! the 5 lb. sack already had 8 lbs. in it...

Huzband Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Glad you had a safe trip. It was a pleasure to meet you, & have you as our guest( as opposed to what Whip said about you). Hope you're having a very Merry Christmas. PS, When we do our 50cc, we'll have to come up to NorCal & barge in on you & Phil. Link to comment
BeniciaRT_GT Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 The pleasure was truly mine! And... Phil says come on up anytime!!!He seems to be pretty jealous that I stayed there and kind of obsessed with you It is awesome how adamant he is that you come up and stay at his place whatever time of night or day. What a great guy!!! Link to comment
