Good Times, But Gotta Move On..Thanks

mrfuni · 03-15-2013, 04:53 PM

Some of you I've had the opportunity to meet and ride with, others I regret our paths didn't cross. From my first trip up from Naples to ride with Coach and The Taminator, the SENOR rally to West Virginia, the national ride in South Dakota, I'm going to miss it all. You all have welcomed me like an old friend, and I appreciate the good times and adventures riding together.

Health reasons have forced my to hang up the chaps and let my little girl go. I have her listed in the for sale section if you are interested in adopting her. If anyone on this forum is interested I can make you a very good deal, she's garage kept, pristine, and for an '07 she only has 14,250 miles on her. I'd like to keep her in the family and she needs to be ridden if you know what I mean.

I wish everyone safe travels. It's crazy out there, especially here in South Florida where half the drivers can't see over the steering wheel, let alone see a motorcycle. Be careful, respect the road and enjoy the adventures ahead. Thanks for the good times.

You can yak with us on the forum. And if any of us are in your area we could buy you coffee. Hang around. =)

mrfuni · 03-15-2013, 05:24 PM

Yes, I'll be checking in on you ladies and gents from time to time, thanks. Everyone knows if you are passing through on your way to The Keys give me a shout.

Sorry to hear you have to give up riding.
Tough decision but health comes first.

**ringadingh** · 03-15-2013, 06:13 PM

Thats unfortunate news but you have to do whats best. Best of luck to you!

**goose** · 03-15-2013, 08:42 PM

Joe, the pleasure is all ours. Your a 1st class dude, and we'll miss riding with you..

Don't be a stranger.. Goose

Sorry to hear it's time to give it up. That day is coming for me too, just don't know when it will arrive.

Here's hoping for the best for you.

**crazygene49** · 03-15-2013, 08:47 PM

Wishing you the best life has to offer.

**Kawhead** · 03-15-2013, 10:06 PM

Well Joe, I hate to hear this, but there comes a time when you have to give it up. Beside checking in on the site, AS SO MANY MEMBERS ON HERE HAVE SOOO BLATANTLY DEMONSTRATED, you don't have to own a NOMAD to attend the Rallies.

No standards here what so ever!

We even let this guy in.

We'll do lunch wine next time I'm through. Maybe I can twist Coach and Tammys arm to come along.

**Idaho** · 03-15-2013, 10:13 PM

Sorry to hear that health issues have sidelined your riding career. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

usranger74 · 03-16-2013, 12:55 PM

Here is wishing you be best.

Netnorske · 03-16-2013, 02:33 PM

That time is coming for all of us....we just never know when. Best of luck with your health. Tough call but probably the right one....cheers to you...

Joe (or as my son called him 'the internet mass murderer') it has not been the same without you around to share a box of wine and a s'more at the campfire. I know this is a decision that you have not made lightly but having ridden in your area, it is one that I'd even have to take into consideration.

You know that Taminator and I will be stopping by when we head south for sure. You and Terri are always welcome to join us, even on 4 wheels.

Best regards.

Oh yeah. I awmost forgot!

I thought it was Ax Murderer, but we shan't split our remaining follicles here.

On the bright side, now we don't have to sleep with one eye open anymore.

It's a silver lining around a cloud sort of thing going on here.

Hate to hear this Joe, but stick around. I really enjoyed meeting you and your wife when I was working in Clearwater back in 2009.
