I'm loosing my memory so I'm not much help on details. But, generally speaking, before the crash it was a very active site with probably 300 active members, and maybe several hundred less active members ( those who would start a thread for a particular situation, and who were not making...

Mighty fine photography...Well done...Thanks for the memories...

I'll miss both of you! I don't see another trip north to visit you, but, you never know. Marty and I still remember your last visit down here Mike. Seems like it was in another life....it was that long ago! And, I appreciate you keeping the interest up in the lighthouses...They aren't building...

Is in progress from now through March 13th. Any Rockers going this year? Please try to connect with me if you are. I'll be staying at the JAX Ramada Inn south of JAX off of I295, 3130Hartley Rd, Wednesday night (March 9 thru Friday night March 12) at the annual Iron Butt Ride-In and Party. I...

Page 12 of the mag has a nice pic of Mike's m/c in the foreground with both of the Cape Spear lighthouses in the background. Thanks Mike.

What they all said.....plus 2, from Marty and Chuck in sunny Florida, where right now the temperature is 74 degrees F I'm remembering IT Steve and my time with him at his home before visiting the Rock the first time, when I met many other RTR's over the years, some down here and many others up...

Here's the link to the "60 in 17 days". As you can see, it is necessary to go beyond the Rock to reach the 60 lighthouses, but it can be done in a minimum amount of time. I'm pretty sure that if you document your ride to the IBA standards, and therefore qualify for the ride award...you will be...

I made some wonderful friends on my trips to the Rock and have some great memories. Rereading this thread today brought them back to life. I noted that the link to my lighthouse rides in the Iron Butt memo did not go anywhere; so here's an update for those ride sites: Chuck Berry, Gold Extreme -...

I watched another review of the flight 91 crash last night on the Smithsonian channel. I think it brought out some new facts that I had not heard of before. Very worth watching if it comes up again. Very sad.

I'm regular.....Like my minister said years ago, Christmas & Easter

Anybody coming down for Bike Week Daytona this year? (March 4-14)

Congratulations! You've just gained an all new circle of friends. The cost of membership will be small compared to the help you may need to get while away from home port. It's the BMW Anonymous list of members by state. I got a tow from Bemidji, MN, about 200 miles to to a BMW dealer for...

I think the border is still closed between Canada and the USA due to COVIS. If it is not opened soon the 2021 tourist season will surely take a big hit. I do not presently have any long distance travel plans. I have a healthy respect for helos and won't walk near one which is running its rotor...

Doug: I'm very glad to hear from you, and to know that Decker is doing. well. To be in an over water crash and be the only survivor would be more than I could live with! Please contact me if you are coming down this winter....the last visit was too long ago. Mike: I know I've had a standing...

Thanks for the well wishes. I'm fine. Bike's been mostly in the garage since COVID, and I'm rethinking the risk v/s reward. My bones are getting more brittle as the bike gets heavier, but I'd sure like to make another trip to the Rock before checking out. If I could talk my wife into an...

Glad you were not on board Mike! The sole survivor, who was interviewed on the film, is a gent named Robert Decker. Does anyone know of his current condition?

When my wife and I did the "Great Loop" on our 32' Nordic Tug we actually went over that rig. On that 9 month cruise the other 'Lock' we found fascinating was the one that looks like 2 oven pans rigged as a teeter-totter where one goes up while the other one goes down and your boat is floating...

On my TV there was a recent Smithsonian Channel show under "Air Disasters" and "Atlantic Ditching" which reviewed this terrible tragety. I remember the discussion on this web site at the time. This show opens up old wounds but, to me, appears to truthfully deliver a factual review of the crash...

I'm glad you're going Mike, and sad that I won't be there this year to support you giving your talks. I know they will be outstanding! I have submarine crew reunions which are sucking off my travel money and time this year.

Jim, Your rides will be more meaningful if you include goals. And, the goals will help focus your thoughts on how to obtain each goal in the most efficient manor. That's why I joined the IBA...additionally, they will certify your ride and provide a nice certificate as proof of completion. My...
