Good Times......, Bad Times........
Hey everybody, I know some of you have probably been wondering about where I have been. I made a couple of post after the gap trip and have been out of touch ever since. Hell I didn't even get to enjoy the article about the Boss Hoss race.  I've missed out on a lot here lately.
I am going through some very tough times in my life right now and I don't know how it is all going to shake out. I do know I am a strong person, and I'll make it one way or another. I've been blessed with so many good friends, and a loving family. All of whom have assured me they are there for me 100%. I won't go into my problems, all I can say is that there are many that have to be addressed. I have to take it one day at a time, and one step at a time. Right now all I want is to get back in a good mindset that will allow me to go back to work. I haven't been since before the gap trip.
All I ask of you guys that know me, ( and even those who don't) say a little prayer for the Ol' Ninjaman if you could. I'm in a lot of emotional pain right now, and I'm ready to start the healing process.
I'd also like to add that some of my problems have been going on for quite sometime and there are two guys on this board that have been there for me anytime I needed them. One of them is Harry, and the other is Otis.
Otis has keep my head above water so long I can't believe he hasn't just said "fuck it", but he hasn't. He's a true friend as is Harry. I'm glad I can call them my friends.

Ninjaman12R...Sorry to hear of your problems. You sound quite devastated.
Try to remember past happy times and strive to get there again, but don't forget to be patient. These things have to be dealt with a day at a time, and in the end you'll be stronger because of it. Good luck bro!  -ZXtra

Hey Rick,
Sometimes I think I've gone through so much shit that I should invest in a manure spreader. If there's anything I can do to help you have the contact info, use it.
I can even whip up on Harry a little for you while you take care of business.
Take care bubba, hate to see a good 'ol boy down.

When it all looks dark and dreary take a look at the news and so many of the other folks around this world. We live in a great country and enjoy so many things.
Imagine waking up in Afghanistan or on the West Bank or Cambodia. Or any other of the many other troubled places in our world.
Heres to the hope and reality that your life has been good and will get better.

I am blessed....
I am blessed with great friends and an awesome family. Thanks to each and everyone of you for being supportive. I've got a lot of things in life to be happy for and that is what I'm focusing on right now. Things are starting to look a little brighter for me, but I'm not going to sweep any of my problems under the rug. I know in time I'll be ok, and having you guys in my corner is an awesome thing. I know some of you probably wish that I'd be more specific with my problems but I feel that it shouldn't matter to anyone. I don't mean that in a bad way either. All I need is to know I've got people that care and are willing to lend an ear, or a shoulder to cry on if need be. Some of you have already done it, and you know who you are.
There are some really great people on this board, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I'm glad I'm a part of this group, you guys are the best. I enjoyed seeing a lot of you last month and I really did have a blast. Mike,Otis,Harry, and I really had a good time. Otis sent me a framed picture that this nice older lady took of all us guys in front of the "Chimney Tops" and he'll never know how many times I've looked at that picture just so I could think positive for a minute or two.
I'm gonna make it, hell I ain't never not made it yet. I am not a quitter, and I will be back to my old redneck self someday, hopefully soon because I know Otis and Harry are due an ass WHOOPIN'.
Thanks again to all of you.

Rick,
You are right. We don't need to know what it is. We can lift you up in our thoughts and prayers. God knows what you are going through and He will bring you out. I'm praying for you, brother.

Jesus H. Christ
Otis,
Now after all the good things I've said about you I'm gonna have to break my foot off in your ass.
As far as letting me lead goes I don't know what to say, other than it takes a pretty good rider to hang with daddy, and that daddy sets an excellent pace. If I'd known we were qualifying I'd have wicked it up a little more. Our group was so equal it was scary, you Harry and I are real close, and if Mike had a 12 under him he'd be there too. The FZ is no match for the 12 providing the 12 rider can muscle the bike around in the tight stuff, and ain't skeered to lay the smack down.
I watched what little video I took at the gap last night. It helped my frame of mind. Pimp daddy Bart was on there as were a lot of you Bozos, but there was one clearcut absolute hilarious moment. When you were cooking that one night (like the good bitch you are) and me and Harry were doing our usual shit talking to each other. Remember I had him fired up and had the video camera on him???? He said you better shut the fuck up before I zip my pants up and choke you to death!!!!!!  Man that was funny as shit, made me laugh like hell last night. Good times,...no great times.

Hey Koz....
You're oldman was right. In the past couple of weeks I've really had to dig down deep to keep moving on. But I am starting to feel better, and certain aspects of my life are shaping up for the better. I am now, and will always "Hang Tough." Thanks for the kind words man, hell all of you guys are the best.
Now Otis, this president thing????? Surely you jest, a stump-broke wore out lot lizard like you would never make it. Hell just knowing you were from Michigan would be all it took to guarantee defeat. Once you threw in all the other facts I'd say you'd be wearing a bullet hole on your forehead the first time you stood behind the podium to make a speach. I know some good ol' redneck boy would definitely put a little "lead" in your diet.
