Leaving
Hey just a quick not to everyone that I am leaving tomorrow night to fly to Iraq. It seems that I more than likely will have the net over there and be able to keep up with the board and whats going on.
It looks like we will spend a few weeks in Kuait, during which time I wont have a net connection, but once we reach Iraq I should be good.
So I miss out on another set of DG rallies and get to play in sandbox. One thing I would like to do is maybe set up a trackday when I get back somewhere in the midwest and get as many bikeland members to attend as possible. With Otis and Harry and a few others doing trackdays thesedays I thought it might be fun to do a weekend even, maybe a double trackday....say Barber maybe? I have been wanting to ride that track for years, havnet had a chance. I have ridden Road Atlanta, Nashville Super Speedway, Putnam Motorsports Park, Arroyo Seco Racetrack, and Roebling Road in Savannah. I really like Putnam and it would be accesible by alot of people, so is Barber though...
How about some input fellas?

Jim, Stay safe, and God Bless.
I will go to such a trackday, and I'll even barbeque.
Do what is needful, and come home.

The world is dangerous and enemies are everywhere, everyone has to protect themselves. A fortress seems the safest, but isolation exposes you to more dangers than it protects you from. It cuts you off from valuable information, it makes you conspicous and a easy target. Better to circulate among people, find allies, mingle. You are shielded from your enemies by the crowd...
More is lost through stopping halfway than through total annihilation. The enemy will recover, and will seek revenge. Crush him, not only in body but in spirit...
Be safe!!!
