Hi to all you fine forum members.

My name is Hobo, I am a Bear from Northern France and I am the official forum mascot for the best Goldwing forum in the world.

It is my goal to ride with forum members in every country where there are forum members - I have made a good start already as I went to the Meet n Greet in Killarney with Goerdiemuppet, Christine and their daughter Katie, where I met lots of forum members and had a great time seeing the sites and enjoying the night life. I then went on to the Irish Treffen in Donegal and had a quick trip to Northern Ireland.

I am riding back to England with Silverfox and Helen the Viking, then I fly to America with Motorcycle Pete as I begin my travels around the world.

I will be posting details of my travels on the forum and photos in my gallery. I am happy to ride with any forum member, but can only do this if we have a set of rules: -

1. When my travels with a forum member are complete, that member must find me another travelling companion for my journeys. He must arrange to get me to the next member either by meeting up or sending me by post.

2. My travelling companion must keep a log of our travels including photographs which are to be forwarded to Geordiemuppet so that he can help me keep everyone updated.

3. If there is no riding in the winter, my travelling companion must return me to Geordiemuppet so that I can hibernate until conditions improve.

 

I also have a special request - I need an Avatar and Geordiemuppet is not too clever with the computers. Could one of you kind folks please resize a photo of me and pass it on to Geordiemuppet? PM him and he will send you his e-mail.

Thanks and it is great to be here. :cool:

Hobo yer welcome in Wisconsin. I hope you like the wind in yer fur because my wing is topless!!

I've got a pin or two here for your jacket. I'm hoping you can come through here in the end of Sept. for a ride with us that looks like it's going to be great.

Would also like it if you would make it through here some time in may next year for the anual bike blessing here. I'll buy ya a patch for yer jacket if you can manage it.

Oh and tell gordiemuppet he's doin a great job.

Hobo;

It is a pleasure to have you on the Forum. Kim and I are hoping you can make it up to see us, if even for a day or on your way through!

With so many Wings available, I hope you don't ever get stuck travelling "parcel post" - Heck, one guy just rode to Alaska!

We'll be watching for your posts!

Welcome to the funny farm Hobo, you will fit right in. :cheeky1:

I know he avoided meeting you at Killarney and Stranolar, but I would have thought our Forum Welcomer would have greeted you by now:baffled:

He must be slipping.
