Watch your purses boys and girls.

See where over in Arlington that ole gal hung on to her's while the snatchee
pulled her along.
I think that, together, some of you could help stop this season related
crime. Please post your mastercard # here, and maybe on craigslist.
Might email it directly to Redshad.

I think I know what is causing his clutch slipping.
...well he hasn't posted lately..... you get Walker on the back of that
650 and encounter a won't turn'er looser you exceed the Yamaha engineered
design

...louie

 

Its unbelieveable what crimminals are willing to do to steal from the common
person. Snatching purses from women has got to be the lowest form of crime.

If any of you e-mail me your credit card numbers, please include the 3 digit
code on the back of the card.

I garentee we exceeded anything Yamaha even thought that little 650 would be
doing. I think Bill should pay to fix that motorcycle since he tore it up.
Its all his fault.

Redshad

 

Our friend Redshad has already exceeded the engineering design of that
V-Star.. That sucker has run with all the big boys.. Regards

Bill Walker

 

My cup runneth over.. Get that clutch work done and git'er back on the road,
soon..

Its work in progress as we speak.

Nope, not ALL of the "big boys"!

He hasn't ran that VStar with me, yet! He might just need more than a
new clutch...

Brian, Red-Shad was the main man on that October Mena ride. Did you not
get to ride along with 'em?
Did'ju fer'get?
But, none the less, Red-Shad can keep up with you on any trip? Maybe not
out run you, but he'll be on yo' ass, on a regular trip ride. He rode to
Arizona with your Pop, and Bill said Red-Shad's VStar was there, every
mile, every curve, strong.

See there, Bjay! If you'd actually been able to make it more than 20
miles past your house, you might've known the scoop on it!

 

Yup.. you are right. Redshad and that V-Star didn't miss a beat.. Of
course, you
have to consider, we weren't competing or trying to outdo each other.. The
secret
to a successful and enjoyable ride, is to ride with respect to the fellow
riders that
are running with you..

Seems to me, there is an assumption here that what was offered in humor is
being
mistaken for a challenge of some sort..

I've ridden with Brian Walker for years.. We've ridden thousands of miles
together..
Brian is an impatient rider that resents stopping for gas.. He's quick to
respond to
any challenge that he perceives.. That makes him formiddable as a rival on
the
highway.. He's also good company on a ride and an asset to most any group
that
is on a run.. The motorcycle he rides is one of a kind and it was put
together by
Brian over a long period of trial and error.. That sucker is built to run
and it gets
the job done. That old Shadow will outperform any motorcycle in it's class,
that
I've ever seen.. Even many bikes that are rated above the class of the
Shadow..
That includes many of the sport bikes .. And, Brian rides that old Shadow
like
he just stole it..

Now then, I've also ridden quite a lot with Redshad.. There again, Redshad
is
a good asset for any group ride.. His V-Star is sorta like this Old Green
Vulcan
that I ride.. The V-Star and Vulcan were not meant to outrun or race with
anyone.
Those motorcycles are medium class cruisers.. As with Brian's Shadow, we've
pretty well enhanced our motorcycles to adapt them with the capabilities of
long distant touring.. Both my Green Vulcan and Redshad's V-Star will out
perform most of the motorcycles in that class.. but, won't handle Brian's
Shadow
competitively.. That would be extremely foolish to even consider..

Both of these good bikers are accomplished in their own right.. and they are
both
very good company on a run.. I'd sure not like to have them involved in some
kind of competitive position against each other.. That's not what the intent
of
either of them have indicated.. I'd especially not like to see them thrust
into a
competitive posture by a humorous comment and prodding by a third party..

I've seen both bikers, ride "down" to the level of the least qualified rider
in a
group, or ride "down" to the level of the weakest motorcycle in a group..
That's
what riding with a group is all about.. taking care of each other with
respect..

Start the ride together and finish the ride together, and the ride is over
when
the last man gets back home safely..

So you have not had the privaledge to ride along side that goodlooking,
nice running, VStar, eh? Well, I did, for a few miles. And I could tell
right away, Red-Shad can keep up with the big boys, as mentioned by
Bill, awright!
I'm sure your 1100Shadow is, indeed one of the big boys, and one that
Bill would consider a big'un.
Skunk rides a 1100Shadow.
I'm quite aware of how that Bike runs.

I know Brian was messing around with =what and how= you said that about
Red-Shad's VStar.
But, he sounded like he had never rode in a group with Red-Shad. I
thought he did up in Mena?
Bill, I agree with what you say above about ''Riding with buddies''.
I rode a 600Shadow for a year and half and enjoyed riding with the
soCalled big boys, as you described.
I rode 2Up, most every mile too.
We'd get behind in the curves, but not for long, I'd catch up, with
their help, of course. So, it is the rider, mainly, not the scooter.
That little Bike would cruise at 70, real nice. On trips, we didnt
average much more thatn 70-75. Even now on the big Valk, I still average
70-75.
(I'm speaking of average, here)
Oh sure, I like to ''gun'' er, just like the others like to gun theirs.
One big difference, now I dont loose site of anyone, anymore.
Especially, it is fun to ''gun' it running long-side my SonNlaws
goodlooking purple and black Heritage.
And ole' Skunk, on his 1100 is right in the ''mix'' of thangs, yesSir.

There again, you jumped in on something you know nothing about. There
again, you don't know who I've rode with and who I haven't rode with.
There again, you've been invited to tag along and you've declined.

What I said was in jest and humor. It wasn't meant as some sort of
challenge and didn't have any other intent to suggest I have/haven't
rode with Redshad.

You sure aren't very good at this "Bowie County Prosecutor" thing, are
you? Next thing we'll see is someone calling you a Canadian pussy or
the "N" word!

 

But, I've had the "privaledge" of giving him a BIG THUMBS UP!

 

So you have not had the privaledge to ride along side that goodlooking,

Did I ride with him in October in Mena? I don't seem to recall that. I
recall there were a bunch of motorcycles that I rode with, but I don't
recall whether Redshad was among them.

Maybe you should go back to "paraphrasing" and leave the remembering to
us who actually rode the ride...

<Big Thumbs Up!>

Yes, you did. You rode with him, Big Ed, Big Eds son, and louie, along
with your father.
Man, you need to get some rest.
You been working too hard.
Your recollection membrane seems to be pretty fuzzy for a young feller.

I seem to recall many others on that ride, but I still don't seem to
recall riding with Redshad on that one...nor do I recall Bjay being
there....

 

That ride we didnt get to ride together. I recall you showed up late at
night and Bill was already in bed. I dont remember but I think I had to work
Sunday so I left that next morning or something like that. I do know I didnt
ride home with you guys. Isnt that when Big Eds son hit the deer? We did
however ride together to Elgin, Tx for one of the TMRAII Distric Advisors
meetings a year or so ago.

And P.S....I wouldnt even try to keep up with Brians motorcycle. Thats one
fast ass "N" word.

Redshad

 

<chuckle> I'd forgotten about that little run.. Yeah, you did make that
ride..
That was while you were still riding that V-Star nekkid, as I recall.. Good
ride .. you sure hung in there, under some pretty severe conditions ..
That's
the difference between a biker and the wannabe's.. LOL.. Regards
