Thank you and inzane

[BigBF]

Hey Everyone,
I finally arrived home last week Monday at 2am. Oh boy, what a long trip. I have been all over the place for 10 months.
Thank you for having me to work on your Valkyries. I have done total #119 valkyries since we went on road plus at Inzane, my guess probably 30 Valkyrie more or less. I didn’t count it. We met a lot of nice people. I also met some deaf people thru Facebook groups pages. Aussie really enjoy traveling with me and meeting lot of people and I’m sure you all enjoy my Aussie’s character.
I’m glad this time, I don’t run into problem like flood or hurricane or tornado whew except ice on road in SC which is not too bad for me but unfortunately not for other drivers that got stuck on ice road or lost control by going too fast.
Couple Valkyrie members invited us for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I want to say thank you for inviting us and for the great meals. It was good to see families together.
I hope everyone is happy with my work on Valkyries. I will go on trip again start in June only if I catch up all of the Valkyries to fix up and also my house to fix up. My wife has long list for me to work around the house like electric switches, water pipes, replace new washing machine and dryer that the washing machine just quit working and many others to make sure all is good before I go on trip again. I only have like 1-1/2 month. I decided not to go to InZane this year because of short time at home. I will start work like in NM, Colorado then I go out to east USA. I will announce sometime in May 2018 for you to sign up for me to work on your Valkyrie this Summer/Fall. I was thinking stop work before 2019 and go home that way I have more time at home but I will see what happen later.
See picture of map is where I have been to starting Phoenix AZ to Billings Mt at InZane then the rest of the routes...
We traveled about 15,200 miles and 10 months. Oh I can tell my Aussie is ready to travel again LoL!
Thank you for your hospitality. I appreciating everything you all did for me.

See ya all this summer and fall.

Thanks for all you do for us Bill.   

I suppose it's good to be home (where you can start on a long list of home improvement repairs).

I wish it had been nice (like usual) in SC when you were here, but you got here during this
winter's main cold spell...

Maybe next time you are in Florida something will be broken on one of my Valkyries. It was sure a pleasure meeting you and watching you work on Keith's bike in Milton. I learned some things.  You are a class act for sure

[Pappy!]

Sorry to hear you will not be attending Inzane. Many folks love it when you are there and we all learn from you.
Enjoy your vacation (read...work) at home and relax a while if you can.

Thanks for all you do and God Bless !

He stated he was not going to InZane this year.

He stated he was not going to InZane this year.

He kind of did say that a few weeks ago. But, I took this post of his as saying if he could get his home projects done in time he would make it. (But I've misinterpreted many things before)

To save some the effort of reading the entire post.

    Bill my friend we will all miss you but after looking at the map understand
why you will not be with us in VA.
   I guess you know by now how many prayers have been with you on you trip.
  As well you know there is a big bag of thank yous from so many here that
allows so many Fat Girls to stay on the road.
   God bless you brother.

Hi BigBF,

Just out of curiosity
You are obviously by now the most knowledgable person for this question.
Now that the Valkyrie is getting older, I wonder if you noticed any trends with regards to mechanical issues.
