Hey Fred I'm sure your a nice guy and all that, but would mind in the future posting your where abouts. Just so I don't have any mishaps with your name on em.

Don't know who Li'l Abner is? You're kidding, right? Just when I thought I'd found an interesting bunch of sophisticates it turns out yer just a bunch of MOrons after all. So like in a fantasy world I get Daisy Mae, right.....

Joe Btfsplk, Kickapoo joy juice, and fried Shmoo! Al Capp certainly had a way of putting things, didn't he?

 

[33342]

Of course we're kidding!

We wrote "King of Dogpatch", didn't we? How else would we know that?

We are MOrons though, proud ones at that!

 

[Zakman]

Hi Fred,



Nice yarn and it's very nice to think of the folks in Dogpatch again. I hope you will keep the rest of us aware of your routes so that we might try and keep away or at least out of the danger zone. Maybe and licence plate warning would be in order. AVOID RIDING WITHIN 1000 FEET IN ANY DIRECTION! Have fun out there and good luck to everyone else.

I've got a buddy like you...

 

[Buzglyd]

Try riding with Dale sometime!

 

[mscuddy]

And don't put him on a new gixxer close to anyone riding a Ducati. Like a homing torpedo.

Man,if you are anywhere near the west,let me know.I,ll be going to Hawaii that week.

Maybe if Fred and I go for a ride sometime our clouds will dissipate. I'd be game and the World might be a better, safer, place.



AND You think I'll be safe to be around on the CR do you?



AND Buzz, why don't you go have the staff polish the Stable?



AND More good stuff as usual Fred/ MO.

I think the key here is that Our Hero is usually following. Ride with someone fast enough to be entertaining, then follow them. They're sorta like a Canary in a Coal Mine.....

It's unbelievable how much a part of our lives L'il Abner was. I miss them terribly, along with Pogo.

My old man was a Pogo and Lil Abner fan......every Christmas we were treated to the above song...he knew every verse. His nickname at work was "Rotten Ralphie" after the Lil Abner character;they thought it aggravated him,but he secretly loved it.

In response to all the requests -- this morning I am departing Staunton, VA, enroute to the famous TWO - Two Wheels Only Motorcycle Resort in Suches, GA. (Hey - MO - want a story on this place?)



For the next week I will be HQ'd at TWO, eating their legendary food at night, and spending the daylight hours riding Deal's Gap, Wolf Pen Gap, the Cherohala Skyway, the Blue Ridge Parkwy, and all those other great roads in the surrounding area.



Come join me in the non-riding evenings on the porch for some bench racing, if you dare.

Say "Howdy!" To Britt and GT for me!



Hope I can make it out there sometime this fall.



Don't tease The Frank!

 

[MykePagan]

Are you sure those were bad luck stories? Any of those incidents could have ended much, much worse, but instead the "unlucky" rider now has a story they can recount over and over again to fellow bikers. Maybe Fred was a good luck charm who turned a potentially horrible situation into an adventure?



Still, I'll remember not to plan any rides in CT when Fred has a group ride planned. I've done enough rain riding.

 

[obandoj]

Thanks for the stories Fred, they were actually good luck stories if you consider the alternatives, I have a bunch of them myself from the last 40 years of two wheel adventures.

Fred,

It's in Conn. that you live? Remind me not to go riding through on my way to see my daughter in Larchmont, NY.

Saw Al Capp speak once before he gave up on the RW BS and once after. Talk about a change, remarkable.

 

[Big_Gavinski]
