    For the Record:

    I'm just teasing LDF. Unfortunately, I lose control of my sarcasm from time to time and stuff just blurts out. I could blame this on Doc because he documents the trip too well sometimes but I won't. Anyway, I'm pretty sure Francine can handle a little teasing from the peanut gallery.

    Now on with the trip. :D

    Hit the #1 on the hair clipper this morning as a way of supporting you. Can I make a suggestion for the Anti-Hassle™ tassles people. There is a small vegan riding population who could possibly benefit from their product. There are some high-quality synthetics that may work, but hopefully not lose their mojo.
    Have a great trip guys, and don't be too nice to Julio:D

    #1??? Long-haired hippie freak. :D

    Will convey feedback and see if I can get them working on a vegan version. They've been quite responsive, so I'm confident that model will be forthcoming. :wink:

    We're always nice to Julio... it's impossible to rile him up once you tear him away from the basement. :lol3

    I'll wait for M11 to be over and the pics to start rolling in to share my thoughts and <s>lies</s> stories but I'll just say that I loved every minute of it. Thank you all for making this happen and letting me be a part of it.

    They haven't moved from outside of Fort Mohave for a long time. Hope they are all OK. Maybe they left the SPOT in the bushes and all headed to Vegas! :rofl

    Update:

    I received a call from Dingweed earlier this afternoon. Francine high-sided and took a pretty good blow to the head. She was airlifted to Las Vegas and Doc was able to ride with her to the trauma center in Vegas. It appears that was the only obvious injury. We are waiting to hear more and probably won't know anything until Scott and Mark can get on the road to Vegas.

    After I received the call I checked the tent space thread for local riders that might be able to help with bike transport and storage while everything got sorted. I PM'd several riders and within minutes, Squirley, a Las Vegas inmate returned my PM with an offer to depart immediately to pickup and store Doc and Francine's bikes.

    I haven't received any new information yet, but I would assume they are awaiting the arrival of Squirely and load up the DRZs before they depart for Vegas to meet back up with Doc and Francine.

    When I hear anything I'll post up.

    I'll second that! Never like to see a rider go down. LDF is a trooper...I'm sending as many good vibes as I can muster.
