Many thanks to...
I need to thank a lot of people. Of course, Okie and his family, Thump, the Heartland Spodes, Brownie, the moderators, Buster and many more people made DW the event happen for all those who attended.
These people made DW happen for me personally:
1. Milk. Thanks for picking me up at the airport. Milk actually went to work a half day on Friday when he was supposed to have the whole day off to hang out at DW. He did this so I would have ride out to Cooperland when I arrived in OKC on Friday afternoon. Thanks man, I really appreciated the ride, and it was great to get to know you. I could've lived without the :moon: in the night time poker run though. :)
2. Julius Pleaser. JP really wanted me to make it somehow someway to this years event. He basically told me whatever you need me to do, I'll do. So I said, "How about you come over to my house, pick up my bike and my two gear bags, and haul them to Oklahoma for me?" JP's answer, "No problem. When do you want me to come over."
3. Mikeb and Patrick. These guys provided me with room and board. Mike brought me a sleeping bag and an air mattress to sleep on. And, he allowed me to eat all of his food, since I didn't have any. Mike was used to this though, I ate all of his food last year, even though I had my own food. Patrick, cook extrodinare, cooked our dinner (twice) and fixed a great breakfast. He even cleaned the skillet after I said that I'd do it. And, he was fun to ride and race against. Thanks a ton guys. I owe you big. Somehow I'll pay back the favors at next year's event. Or sooner I hope.
4. Jeff Gilbert. Gave me and Zio a ride to the airport this morning. Thanks so much. We were pretty sure that someone would be able to drop us off. I hope that it wasn't too far out of the way. My only regret was that I didn't get to meet your daughter. I'll have to meet her next year.
For me, DW this year wasn't really about the riding. I went there because I wanted to see my friends. I had been to both previous events, and had a blast. This year, I was only able to attend for a short time. But the time that I spent meeting new people and visiting with old friends was priceless.
I can't wait for the next one.
Thanks to everyone who made this event happen!! :thumb:
