It's been a long haul and I want to say thank you to all the graet (and a few not so great ) people who have made my organizing the Dragon events so enjoyable, weird and sometimes even wonderful. To Denny, Mike, and David, a heartfelt thanks for being always there when the strange (a lot) and the unexpected (also a lot) arose. To Leslie G. for her smile, enthusiasm and willingness to step in when help was needed, To the hundreds and hundreds of people I've shared Dragon and Fontana, and Devils Triangle and all of the other great raods in the areaa sincere thanks, it was great riding, following, leading and just plain talking to you. If I didn't mention you by name, please realize that I consider each and everyone of you as friends.

Now you have some new people (well, new only in trying to get everyone together, plan all the drives, dinners and the associated tcotchkes and other tasks as assigned) to give a hard time to and lend a hand when it's needed. John Gilmore (vortamock) and Tim Vandergriff (SkyLadyZ) have agreed to attempt to herd this group of squirrels, not knowing what they were in for. Give them a couple of weeks before you start giving them a hard time, please.
I may show up now and then but even if I don't, I'm definitely going to miss all of you (well, some more than others ) but again, my most sincere thanks for the good times we've shared.

Ken, I appreciate you introducing me to this awesome group and all you have done administration wise and with organizing the chaos!! Anticipation of these events gets me through the work week!!!

 

Ken… Thank you for everything you’ve done for the s2k Dragon family. I sure appreciate your dedication, for so many years, to make sure every detail of these trips was handled and all the rest of us had to do was have a great time. My sincere thanks…

 

Well... shucks.... going to leave us with the newer people!

Ken... thanks for organizing these events, and others for the past xx years......

Your guidance and planning have helped this community greatly.....

Hope to see you around!

 

Ken, sure wish you were coming this spring! It won’t be the same without your smiling mug.

 

Weill, they're not THAT new, just not as old as me

xx? Hmm, at times it felt like LVI years. It was always a pleasure (well .... mostly) and I always looked forward to it.

Thanks Mike and everyone. It was a fun thing to do and it gave me immense pleasure.

Careful what you wish for...

 

I'm glad I got to at least meet you at our first DFR and Classic Hondas on the Dragon last year. Hoping you get to still pop up to an event every now and then
