David, it was nice seeing you again. Hopefully, you can make it to bike night a few more times before I head to South America on Sept 21st. Nice bike by the way!
I mentioned that I would post the invitation to Chuck's and mine going away get together on Sunday, so here it is:
--------------------------------
At some point I finally realized that this is going to happen. We are packing the bikes for shipping on September 4th and we have flight reservations on September 21st to Cartagena. We decided that it might be a good thing to give everyone an opportunity to wish us farewell. Or perhaps laugh at us or call us crazy is more accurate. So, we have scheduled a going away celebration on September 2nd from 2pm to 5pm at a little Mexican restaurant (
Mr Sombreros) that Lori and I frequent. We have known the owners (who are from Mexico), for a number of years and have watched their kids grow up. He just shakes his head when I talk about traveling by motorcycle through Mexico. I hope to have the bikes there as well, so those who ride can tell us what we have messed up and those who don’t can ask questions for which we have no answers.
These bikes will be our homes for at least six months.
Some of you may be out of town for the holiday weekend or do not live here in Houston, no worries, I just wanted to extend the offer and let you know what was happening. Please bring anyone along you like and feel free to forward this invitation to anyone you think may be interested. It will be an order off the menu type deal, after all we are retired with no visible means of income. We will try to keep our blog updated here (
linky).
Warm Regards,
Joe Fink
