Letters From West Virginia

[the Ferret]

First off, let me say what a pleasure this has been to read. I assume we have one more installment?

Secondly: Cormanus is right…brilliant concept for a seat time report, and wonderfully written. The strength of your relationship is so evident as to be inspiring.

Third: Dianne and I feel so privileged to be a small part in the great trip you guys had. It was such a pleasure spending the day riding, visiting and eating with the group. You (as in the group) are always welcome in our home. Glad you enjoyed my family. Dianne is a special person, far more than I deserve. She is pretty, intelligent, kind,sincere, generous and has given me a family any man would be proud to be a part of. Plus she puts up with my insane motorcycling, and even enjoys riding nearly as much as I do. I am so blessed. BTW Riley, my grandson in that pic is just a great kid. open heart surgery at 31 days old. It was touch and go for awhile, but what he lacked in physical strength he has made up for in intellegence. Smart kid, and already riding a Yamaha dirt bike at 4 years old. He's my little buddy.

Fourth: I sure missed Cheryl

Fifth: West Virginia is a special place to ride and you guys just scratched the surface, so I’d say when Cheryl is up for it, a return visit should be planned. I may even be convinced to lead you on a couple of great roads down there. If you thought 33 was great, wait until you ride 16 from 33 to the Ohio river.

Siixth: I always talk about being a munchkin and it was never more evident than the pic of you and I standing beside the Ribber wall. Holy cow that almost looks like an optical illusion lol

Anyhow, here are a few pics from that day I took
