I've only met Paul in person briefly a couple of times, but I've viewed with interest and admiration the posts on the board of his fighting spirit and his positive outlook.
I was wondering if some of you who ride occasionally with Thumper could post some of your pictures and maybe tell a few stories about or on him?
Paul, you're in my thoughts and prayers often these days.

In the new days, he's hard to keep up with when you get him on a road he knows and likes...  -Mike

Puddled up  With a smile on my face  We've all got to go eventually....God just thought it would be funny to let me know in advance. Until then don't count Thumper out until you see the box going into the ground. In the words of Smokin' Joe.... Bring it....let's ride!  |

He's generally known as the "Blood Mountain Whore" down here with our group because even if we're going south we still have to first go north and over Blood Mountain or he pouts all day.

Some great posts here. Nice job Stanley (it is not often I could say that!) Paul is fighter and a good friend. We are trying to help him enjoy the time he has and hoping that is a lot longer than the Dr expects. He's is fun to ride with too!  |
