Just walked in the door 368 miles The Flag is officially in Lisman Kentucky
I want to say Thanks Guys it was great meeting you

The ride up was was awesome we didnt get the turn out of riders I had hoped but my Buddy
Jimmy made the trek from Evansville up on his Moto Guzzi my girls photographer daughter
bailed at the last minute but no biggie Kawiman80 drove up in hid Suv as a support
vehicle

Now the bad 30 miles from the house lost my header collector my bracket broke I heard it
but was in the 70mph zone and by the time we got up to the exit turned around never
found the collector. but all in all it was a successful trip now to find a collector
before next weekend Will post some pics in the album when I warm up Allot of riding and
not too many photo ops.

I shouldve followed you a little further huh,lol. I would've been able to pick it up for ya. Sorry to hear about that At least you were almost home. Other than knowing that,I enjoyed coming along,even though I wasn't able to ride along. It was good to meet new people and putting some faces with names. It was a good day.

Had some bike-related issues, still working on root cause, but made it home.
Great to meet everyone, and ride on.

Quick update guys I have a megaphone on the way Brian has bailed me out again. Thanks Brian You are the man.

I have a Horrible Kirker if it doesnt get here in time I will have to weld multiple holes up
and its so rusty just chasing my tail mostly. but either way I will have a pipe

now for the BAD I had an MRI last week and got the results today it wasnt good and they want to do surgery immediately or treatments if the oncologist reccommends chemo before. I am trying to get everything put off til next week so bear with me

Kinda messed me up too lol I wa litterally expecting him to schedule me an outpatient sameday surgery
in a few weeks no big deal sit in the recliner and complain about not being able to ride til my stitches were out.

have had 1000 emotions run through my head in the last few hours. But my faith is strong and this will pass.

Ram,

Sorry to hear this. JR is right don't put treatment off if the docs are insistent that you start immediately. Good luck.

Do what you have to do and do it now, don't put it off! Take care of yourself first, the flag can wait or we'll figure something else out! You have our thanks for what you have done up to now so don't think you have to do the second part as it isn't worth you getting any sicker.

Wishing the best for you!

Wow ram, what they said, and need to do what doc says now. Hope the best for you.
You've done well with the pick up, so hand it to the next guy if you need to. Health is much more important dude.
