Thanks every one. RJ Bullard

[rjb3515]

Thank everybody for all the wishes, the prayers, and the pictures it really means a lot to me. Dad touched a lot of lives during his life. Very proud of him in the life he lived. I have no regrets. We spent a lot of time on the road . (A lot of times only on two wheels.) A few times on one wheel. The other two wheel rides were on the Trike. But many of miles on four wheels. He love the road trips , and so did my sister and I. What a blast he was to travel with. My sister and I are also motorcycle licensed riders and were brought up learning to ride because he taught us how to ride. Earlier this summer dad signed both of the trikes over to us. Valarie received the Cobra trike, and I received the Valkyrie which was just modified into a trike a year or so ago. I have been riding the Valkyrie every summer for him to keep it limbered up. And Valarie finally took over the Cobra riding times. We share them, and plan to do so until we both can't ride anymore. I hope to come to INZANE with Valarie, and my other sister Deb which finally found her way back into our lives Christmas Eve last year. And if all goes well maybe bring both trikes down with us. It's supposed to be 28 degrees RealFeel of 18 degrees the day of his funeral, but I am determined that all three kids on the Cobra, will be at his funeral service! P.S. the Cobra actually has a 383 stroker close to 475 horse power didn't know if he really told anybody the truth about that, it wasn't a 350. He had me take that out years ago when he took it on Power Tour.  Thanks everybody for being so kind to him. Someone taught me how to post on the VRCC a year ago. I will try my best to post once in awhile during my busy schedule, just to keep in touch with all of you. Love from Des Moines Iowa, Rex J Bullard (Bullard Performance Inc.)

Prayers raised for your family during this difficult time.  RJ was family to a lot of us, too.

You and Valerie would be most welcome at Inzane.

[Misfit]

We would love to see you at Inzane Rex. Your dad was the real deal and was very proud of his family. 

[Thunderbolt]

Yes he was the real deal alright.  It might have been you that we met for lunch at Corky Bells Seafood on the St. John's river.  RJ and a son rode MGM for lunch during Bike week.

I remember when RJ was on the Power Tour on the trike and when they came through Detroit he brought me to a party and introduced me around. RJ had a lot of friends!
RIP, Russ.

I'm am sorry to be late to this... but you have my condolences as well. RJ was among the first group of VRCC folks that I ever met up with, in Indianapolis on their way to Inzane in 2003. I had JUST bought my Valk, and still have it. I met a group of folks for dinner. RJ, BlackDog and Hoosier Daddy among them. RJ was a class guy that was not afraid to speak his mind. I didn't always agree, but I always respected, and still do. I hope to get to meet you and your sister someday. He always spoke very well of you guys.

My sincere condolences to you, Bev, and the rest of the family.

RJ was one of those unforgetable personalities that made a positive impression on all who liked him.  We've all got tremendous stories about RJ from InZane, the CBR, and other events that he was attending.  Russ was always willing to lend a hand for me at the CBR.  He enriched all of us with his presence, we used to call him the "Sage of the VRCC".  Russ always seemed to have that mischievous grin and twinkle in his eye that let you know he was up to something funny.
At one of the InZane's in Ohio, I tried to race him in the Trike on my Valk while on the highway.  NOW I know why he walked away from me! 
 
He treated my daughters like they were his own, always sending them birthday and holiday greetings.  And he always had a great story to tell.  (The one pic that Lady Draco posted of RJ in the Trike shows my daughters and their friend at a CBR.  Because my one daughter skipped school, she became known as the "Truant Triker".)

I'm sure going to miss him.

Rest in Peace, Russ.  Heaven's a better place now that you are there.

Rex, thanks for posting.  I spent many a night in the chat room with him and others.  Swapped many an email and Christmas card over the years.  I am very sad I never got to shake his hand, but it never seemed to work out.

God Bless you RJ, and you too Rex.

I'm late to this also.
I never met him but enjoyed his candor and banter and opinion.
I'm wishing you strength and promise. He was a great guy from what I know of him.
