And now I am off on the next stage of my journey round this fine forum.......

Here are Patch and Flyone handing me of to Tybme (Still in Kansas).

 

Lots of people are asking about my plans, feel free to contact Tybme about the next stage of my journey, happy to go anywhere and its not a race - I don't need to visit all 50 states at once and there are lots of other countries I can visit.

However, there is one date firmly fixed in the calendar - I will be travelling to Wales for the Meet n Greet at the beginning of August 2008. :cool:

Not to worry- this bruin will be circling the planet for years to come!  Perhaps they'll let me "bearnap" him again, next August, and get him started on a tour of the Pacific Northwest? :baffled:

'Course, last time, he bitched and moaned as we waltzed by the supermodels and executives drippin' money, in their barca-loungers, in "Premiere Classe", and headed on back to our super-duper economy seat....."What?  I have to share these 3 square inches with YOU??!!" :cheeky1: :cheeky1: :cheeky1:

Ah, well.....there's always "knockout drops", or just a few really stiff drinks!  (I'm talking about me....the bloody bear can fend for himself!) :cooldevil:

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.

I am looking forward to meeting every member of this fine forum on my travels, so you really are going to have to make the effort and get to the Tan Y Gaer Meet N Greet. :cool:

Ok Hobo  :waving: you see I have a little problem cause I only have the use of my neighbours :18red:and I have never been out of Ireland on it. I just mentioned this meet & greet to him a few weeks ago, :3sum: he said we all couldn't travel on the :18red:but he did ask me could he land his chopper near the site, :2finger: and I told him I dont think he could do that cause it was for M/cycles only  :18red: Anyway he cannot plan that far ahead.

:leprechaun: :18red: :leprechaun:

That's no problem at all Redwing. Tan Y Gaer told me all about all the wide open spaces and common land all around his house where your rich neighbour can land his helicopter. :cool:

I really do think you should go because some people on this fine forum have been wispering :3sum: that they don't really think you exist because no one has ever seen you and you don't go to meet n greets. :2finger:

I think you should go because you sound an interesting guy and everybody wants to meet you and we will have a great time and I'll even get Geordiemuppet to buy you a seven up or three and my friend Wannabe will be there and so will everyone who is anyone this side of the pond.

 

So you really can't not turn up - if a bear can get there, so can you :cool:

Hey Hobo :waving:  wingnut  met me many years ago very briefly when I rode to Dublin on my neighbours :18red:but he didn't know then that I was Redwing  :leprechaun: from The Islands. I only informed him when I joined this Great Forum in 2004 but he couldn't recall our meeting. :baffled: 

There are cowboys on this forum Hobo  who have said in PM's :2finger: to me, If they ever meet me they would shoot me  :blowingup:  you see I have to be very strict with them cause some of them are very silly :headbanger:  and post a lot of rubbish on the forum :2finger:  It's a long time untill next August, we will have to wait and see what happens. :3sum: Im sure you will visit Ireland again sometime so maybe we will meet up then.  :banana:

mkbwatts,

I do not "Bugger Off" anywhere. Whenever possible, I travel first class by Goldwing. If that is not possible, I am prepared to travel USPS or similar to get to my next Goldwing ride with a forum member.:cool:

I am looking forward to seeing your wonderful country - how's the riding at this time of year? Maybe it is better left until next summer.

I have a hankering for the South where I am told the climate is fair in the winter.

Anyway, I have plenty of time - if I don't see it this year, there is next year and the year after, and the year after that. :cool:

If I return to Europe before I see Canada, then don't worry, "I'll be back." :dude:

I'm sitting here watching the first snowfall of the year hitting the ground but the Wing is not down for the count yet - maybe one more day if we get lucky.

A Bud of mine from Calgary are rendevousing in Swift Current Saskatchewan on Friday, July 4th, 2008.  We'll be dropping into Montaana, Wyoming, and South Dakota for 8 days after that - returning to Swift Current on 12th.

Maybe we can cue something up with some other northern riders and get you into Canada from there.  I'm betting Jennifer in Edmonton would love to ride you around a bit ;);)
