Had been out of my truck pumping diesel fuel today when I missed a call from Billy Morini who had left a brief message expressing concern about my well being.
It’s nice to be noticed!
I quickly called him back and we enjoyed a fun conversation. I promised him to check in with youse guys…
When I logged in I saw my last log-in was back in June, wow!
It’s been a super busy year with about eight cross country trips and some good adventures.
The Vegas2Reno race was everything I had dreamed of. My exploration of western Colorado and Nevada has been absolute blast.
I’m home for the next couple weeks after I wrap up this last delivery, so I will plan to put together a detailed update then!

Re: Rumors of my demise: much exaggerated…
I was becoming a bit concerned about you, seeing as you went from one of the frequent and elaborate regular contributors to the forum, to no login since late June! Especially after you said that by July you would have an update on those clutch actuator levers, and you never got back to us on that....
I feared you perhaps had a horrific crash on the bike or other accident... I hope you don't mind I dug up your cell number from our inbox communications as Billie was also interested in trying to get some of those clutch release arms manufactured.
