I am a maybe. Depends on my wife's hair appointment.😎

I live close by so I should be able to make it.

Done Randy Thanks for the years of enjoyment. Don Husky Monument, X Plane Ride, Photo by Fakename. 2008.

Thanks for the BD wishes guys. But when you are on the down side to 80 you don't celebrate birthdays...you mourn them. Air cooled all the way! Don

Hi Chris I like your Honda collection. We really should get together to trade Honda info. As you know I have my share. I am back in Escondido until the end of the month then back up to Page to entertain guests. Hope your Grand Canyon trip went well. Don

Hi Paul Yup, I am still around but just just a passive spectator on it all.

XR400 is a great bike. My friend in Page Az owns the Honda dealership there and could ride any bike on his showroom floor. But his personal bike is an XR400.

Hi Cosmo Seems North County has a fair number of SDAR members. A good gathering should be the maintenance day this Saturday in Escondido. I will try to get back in time to attend. Always nice to see old friends struggle with their equipment over a beer. Zenosan

I will be in Escondido Monday through Thursday. Heading back to Page on Friday. Send me a PM with your phone number. I will send you a text.

Hi Chris Welcome back to the Honda XL. You know my collection of XL's. I think I currently have 9, XL185 through XL600. Let me know if you need any manuals or parts. I have plenty. I even have some NOS parts, speedometer, Super Trapp etc.. Don Esclante Grand Staircase near Page AZ.

I did have a beard once back in the seventies Dave when Wolfman Jack's beard was the fashion of the day. But I gave it up when I couldn't do it justice or look like Wolfman Jack. My blond hair and careless eating habits made it look ridiculous. That was when I I decided to no longer be a slave to fashion in Beards or Boots since I haven't come across any real improvement over the a good pair of leather Alpinestars .

This is my brother on one of our Vintage Huskys wearing the same boots on a desert Hare and Hound.

These are my Malcolm Smith's for dressy rides.

By the way, real leather boots are always black.

As the resident Luddite I am still wearing these same leather Alpinestars I wore in 1979. Probably the same dirty sox and under ware too.

I know the answer to your last question Dave. Because of hijinks, mischief, mayhem and outright treachery, none of us would make it to the top.

Hi Paul You are still Fakename to me. I always liked that one.

Hi Tom Great memories of you and I sneaking in hard copies of relief maps into Chris Crawdaddy's GPS only Husky monument ride. At least we didn't get lost! Trophy was on that ride. See if you can tear him away from his PW birthday event for a short time. Heard from Bikeslut Bob or Fakename Paul? Would like to run into them again. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Hi Guys Been a while since I have been on the board but I just turned 75 last week and decided to check out some of my old haunts. This event is just a few miles from my place. I will try to stop by for a beer or two and annoy a few people. Don

Hi Bob Nice to hear from you again. Tisha says hi. My wolf pup has turned into a year old formidable beast. Check your PM for photo. Don

Hi Paul Yup, still around. Just haven't ridden much lately. Busy aging, raising my wolf pup and recovering from life's tragedies. Hope to get back into it in the near future. Hope all is well with you and your nemesis Bikeslut. Don

At my age I can't remember if I paid in Feb like I usually do. So, I am paying again just to make sure. Good cause folks. Well worth the money.

My wife doesn't ride hers anymore, how big a one do you want? Hers is a Suzuki 165, very low hours.

Hi Tom What do mean by "Old vs New", my bikes are state of the art Vintage Huskys from the 70's. Can't get much newer than that. They are all well maintained and is great condition. No "beat up old Huskys" here. That is new enough for me. Looking forward to getting together for a Vintage ride this fall. Don

Hi Tracy I am like you...old and obsolete and we ride the same areas Ocotillo Wells. But I have been TLCing my vintage Huskys and was thinking of you as a possible riding partner in OW this fall. All my old riding partners are gone. I can provide the Huskys. Don
