Well, it was a blast riding with you those many times.  You will always be considered part of the NMMR family even if you don't ride anymore.  You will be the first retired New Mexico Monster Rider.  That's quite an honor.  I hope you will stay in touch when you are coming through the hood.  It will always be a treat to see you, Jackie, and the girls if we pass through up there, too.  I, for one, won't bug you to ride.  Everyone has to ride their own ride which may extend all the way to no riding at all!  Take care, Jeremy!

Damn dude, I never even got to ride with you. I'll miss you anyway, be well.

[Count Desmo]

Thank you, all.  I'll certainly stay in touch! 

Hey Bonfy...need a V-Strom?

[Scottish]

Damn I do..... does it come with the Garmin? Wait I forgot my broke ass can't afford it, nevermind.

[bonfy]

Yes!!  I do need a V-strom and I also want to know if your Monster has a dry clutch.  I know we talked about it on the Utah trip, but now I can't remember.  PM me with your asking price on both of them.  Or are you going to e-bay them?

My Monster is an 800, so it has the wet clutch.  The price of the V-Strom depends on how many of the goodies you want.  I'll make a great deal to anyone in the NMMR on either.  I need to get both of them cleaned up and ready before I'll list them for sale.  Ebay will be my last stop.

[bonfy]

Well, you know me, true to form, less is more when it comes to farkles and technical thingees.  I prefer to remain stuck in yesterday communication-wise so I wouldn't need the GPS and homing missile set-up you have on there.   My bikes stay relatively unmodded with the exception of termis.   Oh, yeah, and framesliders which are pretty much as necessary as foot pegs in my world.  Back to the V-strom, I will be watching as you list the goodies it comes with.  I am coming through there toward the end of June so if you haven't sold it by then, I will take a second look and maybe try it on for size.

Jeremy,
I'll miss your company and your great sense of humor.
I fully understand your decision since it means keeping a promise and being
able to spend more quality time with your kids.
As fast as they grow up you never want to be in a position having to say "I wish I would have"....

[Count Desmo]

Thank you, Zaster.  Tell Pam "Hi" for me.

Pam says hi rightback.
I failed to mention that riding a motorcycle is still a lot of fun when you are an old fart....age wise [moto]
And yes for the record, I'm speaking from experience

I had this on the general monster forum, but wanted to put it here also.



See what happens when you make promises.  They come back to bite you in the arse.  Repeat after me, "Never make promises". 
Seriously  . . .  Sad to see you go.  We made only one ride together (first half of Az and second half of Utah is all one ride to me) but it was a blast.  You'll know where to find us if you get a reprieve.   

PS  You know, if you don't ride you'll age faster.  I'm not trying to influence you or any thing like that, but   .   .   .   

Good luck and add your 2 cents to the forum every now and then.

Good luck and add your 2 cents to the forum every now and then.

Thanks, I will.  I'll still check in to keep up with the Gangstas.  It would still be great to meet up with you all from time to time.

You change your mind yet? The mind is a fickle thing.
You know I have to tell you I made the same choice...but only for about 10 of my sons 18 years. I also have to tell you a huge chunk of my life was missing and when I got back to riding my life improved immensely, even after a life changing accident last year.
I had been missing what made me the happiest. When my son was very young I used to live in chicago and ride on the eisenhower and dan ryan expressway. If you fell you would get run over and no one would notice, both were 10 lane wide roads. That was when I stopped. Then about 3 years ago I started again. It has been the best choice I have made in my life.
good luck Jeremy you will be missed, hope to see you on the dusty and windy trail in the future.
