I am very sorry to hear that happen to your brother.
But looking forward to hopefully a happy ending of his story and recovering completely.
I am telling you, you should write a book with your life experience.........:flag: :2thumbs:

Ray, I'm really glad you got a scanner! Some of this is kinda like "ridin' with you"! But I think I'll pass on the long submersions under the ice (don't think that would be my thing.
I remember MTV. I was working in Montana in the '80s and loved watching the music vids. Recently I came a across some of those oldies: Paula Abdul (with the little animated characters and Rober Palmers sexy vids, Addicted to Love and Simply Irristable).
Sturgis must have been a real kick back then, but a "coin toss" if you would get there and back with the bike reliability issue. The Chip definitely looked different this summer, huh?!
Only part of your story that I didn't like was the last one of your brothers accident. Really sorry that happened and hope the story turns out OK.

Robert Palmer vids were real good. Too bad MTV went to shit. We do have VH1 now but it's nothing like MTV was back in the early days. Too much Rap shit and other stuff for me now.
The Chip was definaltely small back then but at the same time is was a great party and you felt like you were with family. Still the same today just you don't meet all as there are so many today.
My brother almost died but is doing more than well today and better than most considering his handicap. I'll get into that in the future but he is doing very good and hopefully (after 5 yrs) have his Big Bear Chopper up this spring.
Glad you're enjoying the story/history.
Thanks,
Ray

No journal, just reflecting back when I pull these old pictures out and scan them to the computer...Wow ..not how I thought the next segment would go, I have a question, do you have a journal or some sort of diary ?

Been following this great epic adventure and just makes me realize that no matter how shitty times get, somewhere along the way your life has some meaning even if its only for the privileged few. Wow did that just come from me? I must be getting old too:lol: Keep the adventure rolling because this is way better than "books on tape" Nice job Ray
You're to funny!! :roll:
