miss you guys and gals

[karfer67]

Honestly i dont know why im posting this but what the u know what. Some of you locals know i have been going through a hard spot and i know i am not unique as many of you fellow ratters are as well. I just wanted to post that i miss you guys terribly and i know i have not been able to make many of the rides this year as well as some of the shows. I happended to go on today and look up posts and it litterally brought a tear to my eye that some wondered where i was. i am still building and pinstriping (in fact i think i even got a bit better at laying lines....well maybe but that depends on how much beer i have had). i guess what i am getting at is yea im going through the wringer at the moment and if anything has something they want lines laid on let me know i could use the bizz. but thats not what this post is about, its about me saying thank you to my rat rod family whom i love and miss.

Hang in there man, we all hit low spots, but in the long run they build more character than when we are at the top of our game.

There's so much talent here lately. I was SCARED to enter this year.

So, if you're entering NEXT year, that means I only have two votes left! :lol:

Hi Adam,

I'm an old bike mechanic from Sac before I joined the Navy 20 years back. Pacifc Bikes, Natomas Bikes, some MT bike shop I can't remember the name of... anyway... I've got a project a friend (RonK here on RRB) is taking care of while I'm away for another month. I'll pm you for an estimate for a stripe job on it.

Mike

 

[karfer67]

crash thank you so much

 

[aka_locojoe]

Good to hear from you. Thanks for checking in.

 

[CRASH]

crash thank you so much

RonK swears about your work that he's seen in person. I look forward to working with you!

 

[scrumblero]

hang in there bro!!

 

[spinman]

Yeah I too would wonder why I wasn't seeing any posts by you. 4 years have passed since i started in this RR hobby, and I owe a lot of my inspiration and drive to what you were doing and especially to your iconic Higgins.

To me, you were one of the anchors around here and I'd always look forward to see a post by you, as i knew it'd be something interesting.

keep the feith and you'll weather through the storm.

Hey Karf,

PM me your address. I got another guard for you to 'stripe

Man, we have missed you too!!!! I was a newb in RRBBO6 and we started communicating when I was making the comemorative six pack of beer of the previous Build Off Winners as a prop for BEER RUN. Your super builds ended up on two of the bottles. For a 30 day newbie on his first build, it was sooooo cool to get advice and encouragement so freely given from one of the masters. You even confided in me that BO6 might be your last BO. It was lonely not having you in BO7, and I for one would love to see you jump back in with BO8!!!!!!!!

Here's to you brudderman!!!! Hope to see more of you, but glad to see you have your priorites straight!!!
