Here you go, the rest of the tale!  This museum is much more than a big building crammed full of old motorcycles ... what an amazing day we had!  -  #000.    

FROM LAST WEEK (below):
CHECK OUT THAT AWESOME T-SHIRT! 

     Good Morning / Afternoon Jack,

     Over the years I have enjoyed your club, even got to meet you a couple of times when you came to New England.
At this point, unfortunately I’m unable to justify your increased dues with the uncertainty in the country right now.

     So I guess this is goodbye and I wish you luck in the future and safe travels.

     Almost made it 30 years!!!

     Regards, Don & Beth Lundberg

     (REPLY) WOW, this is a heart-braker!  So sad to read this but so thankful that you two were able to be a part of FSSNOC for all those years, we had lots of smiles and good experiences, all not to be repeated ever again ... Gosh, I guess all I can say is THANK YOU, Don and Beth ... it was a good ride!  Should you change your mind (27 cents a day), we will happily put you back in the club, you know that, right?  Okay ... stay well, be happy, and breathe deep! - #000

     Hi Jack,
   In case you are keeping track, Thumper News #145 came in the mail Sat. Nov. 20. I'll put off reading until I start infusion treatments in a week. Need to keep busy while having to set in a chair for 4 hours. Vic Force, #3701, NC 

     (REPLY) THANK YOU, VIC ... yeah, we do like to know how the Thumper News mail out goes and from all over the USA.  We mailed the total mail-out of TN#145 in segments, different days and dates, to potentially avoid getting caught in some disaster that might displace the whole mail out.  We want everyone to get their Thumper News!

     Enjoy your read, Vic ... I enjoyed it very much, these FSSNOC members are an exciting bunch and can pass along a good account of their trip, etc.  We are a club, Thumper News is about us, it should be told by us ... as it has now for 35 years.  If you are reading this, dear member, please consider contributing an article, a poem, a roadtest, whatever, we'd love to hear from you all, it is an opportunity that will bear fruit for all involved.  Give it a shot, send us your story.  Deadline is the end of December for the next issue ... Good riding and writing, they do go well together! - #000.

     Hi Jack (000),

     I want to wish everyone a great Thumper Thanksgiving!

       For those that live in more mild weather, try to slip out from the family for a short ride.  Use any excuse to go back to the store to pick up something forgotten, well anything.

      For me the early mornings are cold but warms up fast for the rest of the day.

     (REPLY)  Thank You, Alan!  back at ya', my friend ... and good luck sneaking out for a ride on Thanksgiving Day!! - #000.

     Jack:
     Attached are my riding articles for the next Thumper News.  They are in one document.  The first is a review of the R.E. Meteor.  The second is my trip to the Gate, OK ThumperCafe.

     My mileage for the year is: 7347. 

     If I include my bicycling it is: 9291.  I include the bicycling miles because I spent two full weeks this past summer doing bicycle rides.  Also, all of the training miles to prep for the rides.

     Not up to Steve Oakman's mileage, "I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy." of 12594.1 miles, ha. Seriously, good job Steve.

     I hope all have/had a good Thanksgiving and wishing all an enjoyable holiday season.

     (REPLY)  You are awesome, LLoyd ... two articles for the next TN?  YOU ARE THE MAN, SIR! - #000
