Time to say So-long! :(

caper · 07-10-2012, 08:01 AM

I have given up riding and My Nomad is a wright-off. So its the end of the road for me. I just wanted to say Good bye to all I have meet through KawaNow and VBA. I think this is an awesome sight as well as the people I have met here, some of which have become valued friends.

Sorry to hear that Donnie,you have to do what is right for you. You can still hang around here if you want.Keep in touch and it was nice getting the opportunity to meet you a couple times. Hopefully someday again.

Hang around, some one has to keep this bunch in check.
Heal quickly, Stay healthy!

Hey Donnie, No reason you can't pop in from time to time. Maybe since your off bikes it is time to get back into sailing.

Take care Bud.

Hi Donnie, pleasure was mine!
Do stop in from time to time. You will be missed at the rallies.
Wife & I will be in St-Peters, Cape Breton Island the last 2 weeks in August. I will give you a call & stop in to say hi.

Cheers bud!

Time will heal all wounds. Talk all the time you need and we will be there when you decide to get back in the saddle..... Great to have met you and wish you a speedy recovery. Hope to see you soon.

Hi Donnie, I hope you will stick around the site. You have been around the Nomad for a few years and still have some knowledge about the Nomad that you can share with those of us who haven't had a Nomad for long. I should be down in Cape Breton later this summer. I will give you a shout and go grab a coffee.

macmac · 07-10-2012, 06:23 PM

Sorry to see ya go Donnie. Consider stayin' in touch. mac

Good luck in what ever new endeavors you choose.

Monkeyman · 07-11-2012, 01:28 AM

Why is your bike a write off? Too bad you aren't able to enjoy riding any longer. Best of luck in whatever your future brings you.

AlabamaNomadRider · 07-11-2012, 04:39 AM

Chris, Donnie had a wreck a while back.

Take care Donnie I have enjoyed reading your posts on here. Wish we could have met, maybe someday we will. Take care and stop by every now and then.

Monkeyman · 07-11-2012, 04:46 AM

Damn. I guess I missed that.

Sorry to hear about the wreck, Donnie (even if it is a bit late). I hope you've mended.

AlabamaNomadRider · 07-11-2012, 04:47 AM

I can't remember for sure but he may have hit a large animal.

Hit a deer at speed, six broken ribs and a punctured lung. Luckly he wears all the gear and a full coverage helmet.

**Kawhead** · 07-11-2012, 12:18 PM

I've hit two of them stupid things,and fortunately never had any serious medical problems other than a cracked heal bone, and shattered nerves. The only reason I'm back on one, was because my wife was raising heel about it.

I enjoy riding Motorcycles a lot. It takes a lot of nerve to get back on one, because your constantly thinking there's a deer behind every tree and bush, or maybe they just pop up in front of you like the wooden targets in shooting matches.

I've cut back on my riding a lot lately because the stupid deer are so thick here in NC. I feel like I've done my share of thinning the heard.

I hate to hear this Caper. You gotta do what you gotta do.

We still want you to hang around and attend the rallies, you still own a Nomad, nobody says you have to ride it.
