| I heard something about Beetle having a serious crash with his G14. Does someone know how he is? | |

| Just read this to Kathi, whose response -- for someone she's never met except from my reading her posts and PM's here -- was tears! Keep us all posted, and she'll keep him (and Mike & others) in her prayers. Bill | |

Hi Mark, Do get well. Just a note, make sure that the knee is checked out, sometimes it doesn't get the attention it might need and things only become obvious later. best wishes Moby | |

| I winced hearing you'd taken a fall. Glad it's not worse. Give yourself time for old bones to bond properly.
So. What about the Orange beast ? | |

| I was thinking of you & your maps today; as I'm having fun out here in the Smoky mountain roads. Lots of curves after curves. Getting into a rythmn of set up, throttle off, throttle on. Trying to be smooth, trying to make it all flow. And cursing my own pennypinching ways for not getting one of your maps yet as the throttle response is so jerky ! And yes the TB's were balanced before the trip. | |
