Re: #898 For Sale
Greg,
I apologize but I am going to have to miss the shindig on Friday night. My 14 year old dog has been at the Vet all week and he called and said he could come home this afternoon. He needs care and my wife will not be home until 6:30 PM. I was really looking forward to ralking about bikes and having a good time. Bill

Re: Team #898 - Saved from the Ashes
Looks like good time. Nice to see some of the faces here.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.
