Birthday Wishes

vulcans2 · 01-30-2011, 09:56 AM

Today one of the members of our UMCI motorcycle group is celebrating his 89th birthday. Stoney still rides, although he has gone from riding big cruisers to a Burgman 400 scooter. Yet he still rides. Stoney served in the Marines in WWII as a fighter pilot, and again in Korea as a jet fighter pilot. After that he had a long career as an airline pilot.

So, here's to a true American hero! He served his country with hone and distinction, and since he doesn't fly anymore hie still rides, and riding a motorcycle is the closest thing there is to flying an airplane. We're having a little birthday party for him at the Boise Town Center mall during our weekly "old bikers" coffee get together on Wednesday. Stoney is still sharp, although he's getting a bit frail, but he's entitled to it at 89 years old.

Good for him.

I hope I get to 89 AND that I'm still riding!

Happy Birthday, Stoney! If you're not living on the edge, you're not living. ;)

My best birthday wishes goes out to Stoney, and my gratitude for his service to our country. And like I tell all the HD riders, "It's not what you ride that matters, it's the fact that you ride! period"
Congratulations Stoney!!!!!!!!!!!!!
