That crash just about took Rick's life    Do you remember that the VRCC members donated parts for free to put that bike back on the road ? Allan ( Punisher ) and Lee ( Beekeeper ) worked very hard putting it back together.When they un-hooked it from the wreaker I tuned the key and finally found the mangled starter button ....She fired right up ....Valkyrie's Rule 

[Hoser]

In honor of Skynard,  I got a bunch on my MP3    hoser

Sweet Home Alabama	powered by Aeva

I can feel your pain....I'm going to guess that getting it up on the center stand in the first place was never easier!

I've got the one's I delete off my 'puter on CD ....The bottom of my fire safe is packed with picture cd's I've made.

[R J]

Joe, I have a 925 GB external drive that holds all of my pictures.....

I finally got them all categorized last week.

By that I mean I can find what I'm looking for.   Then I can upload it and display it on the Internet.

Every once in awhile I'll go through the ones I upload and delete some out.

Far Distant Past...

Far Distant Past is right....looks like an old VAX 11/780?  My iPhone has about as much processing power as it had!  I confess that I was not a fan of the VMS operating system.

[Jess from VA]

I don't get it......... do you put your clothes in the front or the top?

That's what I was wondering. Can't see the Maytag logo anywhere.

Ahhhh....didn't realize that Berkley Unix was available for DEC machines, that would have been nice.......unfortunately my tour of duty on the VAX was VMS.

Excellent pictures, and very Excellent Ride!   

Way to many times I have traveled without a camera.  Not any more. I enjoyed all of them very much. Post away and we'll keep look'in.....

 If this thread takes up too much bandwidth consumption I understand if the VRCC staff feels the need to delete.

No worries on our bandwidth, Joe.  Because of the method this board uses for pictures they are not actually stored on the board, but only pointed to by the board.  Thus they consume none of our bandwidth,

Great pictures.  Fine memories.
