I plan for IZ and sign up as soon as registration is open. Hip replacement surgery is fine. I have a back injury that will not allow me to sit for any amount of time.  We thought of driving , and of flying. The issue is still the same , I can not sit for any amount of time.  The bike is serviced , the clothes were about to be packed , and final prep was being worked on.  I put this off until the last minute hoping for a reprieve.  I guess next year I will have to be twice as irritating .   My best to all. da prez |

AND he wuz gonna go to Inzane with out me. He KNOWS ida done the same-go with out him. Plus I got this particular punch in the gut a bit before he posted. He needs a back and I need some good lungs.  Maybe next year both of us can be more irritating to sorta make up fer not bein there this year!  Someone put in a couple extra salutes on the Fallen Brethren Ride for Ross and Dennis-PLEASE. And I KNOW I don't gotta twist any arms too hard to have ya tip a cold one for us.  RIDE SAFE. |

Although I'm not going to Inzane, I sure am sorry to hear that neither of you are going, Dennis.
I sure did enjoy both time that you and 'Da Prez' stopped off at my little town to see me.
On another note, Mark has had prednizone shots in both knees to let him be comfortable riding at Inzane. I hope that the shots work.

A Valkyrie event without the Patterson brothers is akin to a hockey event without the Hanson brothers. (You guys gotta knock off all this medical crap) hope to see you guys again soon. |

Ouch, this is a double whammy. First hearing the news that Dennis can't make it and now Ross.
I will say this. Although I agree with the others that you will be greatly missed, I think you're making the right calls. Your recovery from knee replacement in this short amount of time is amazing, Ross. But maybe now, you can rest your back and keep from pushing the knee too much and cause any setback.
There are so many of my buds that can't make it this year and I'm bummed about that, especially after I had to miss last year.
Looking forward to the day when we can ride again soon. AND, I do have good tires!
Take care, Pattersons!

Ross, So sorry to hear you won't make it this year, was missing Dennis already Patrick and I have missed several inzane's over the years; it's been because of circumstances beyond our control that we didn't get to go. You take care and get well. Hope to see you both next year. Blessings! Carolyn |

Are you an organ, tissue and eye donor for your state? Did you know one person can save or enhance the lives of up to 75 people. The # of people waiting for organs in the US would overflow the University of Michigan football stadium. It's the biggest in the country. Will seat over 109,000.

Thank you all. I was going to leave today.  I read the schedule of events and really wish I could make it. I tried driving the other day ,p/u truck , and after a little while , I was not able to control the right leg when I tried to get out of the truck. If I was on the bike and had to put the foot down , who knows. I ask all of you , please say a little prayer from me for Santa Tom. I know there are other fallen riders , and pray for all of them. I tried to keep in touch with Tom as he tried to survive. da prez |
