Bullwinkle Chronicles
Well it’s Easter Sunday and I missed the deadline for getting an article to Debbie again. I want to apologize to her and thank her for the grace she has always given me when I exceed the deadline. I’ve missed a few deadlines over the time I’ve been contributing to Behind Barz but it’s usually been because I was busy or on the road somewhere and this month I was not only busy I got really sick with some kind of flu crap and have been in bed most of the week…
Riding season for most of the country is just kicking off, temperatures are starting to rise as the sun grows higher in the sky and the daylight hours increase incrementally day by day. Spring is in full swing in the southern states and it is just beginning to show signs of hope for riders here in Colorado and most of the rest of the northern parts of the country. Most bikers I know out here ignore the weather unless it’s really severe and hazardous and they ride all winter.
The brothers and sisters out here are a unique and generous bunch of riders who have been much closer to me than family. Ever since I first came out here 6 years ago they have shown kindness to me in more ways than I have room to write about in one article. The latest expression of their commitment to a brother in need came to me in the form of a round trip plane ticket to Atlanta Georgia so I didn’t have to ride all the way back to make what I thought was a routine Doctor’s appointment and visit with one of my son’s family. I don’t want to give the impression that Colorado bikers are the only people who have helped me stay on the road because the support I’ve been given has literally come from around the world. From Washington to New York and from Minnesota to New Mexico people from every walk of life have blessed me beyond my wildest dreams. They’ve bought tires, oil changes, wheels, a Mustang seat and backrest and they have supported me in a thousand other ways as well.
I am so thankful and incredibly blessed to have met the best of the best people America has to offer. I wish I could name them all and give credit where credit is due but there are multiple thousands of them. The pictures are just a few of the people who have supported the ministry I try to do and some people I met only because of the support they have given over the last 7 years of being a homeless old scooter tramp…
To all who have been a part of my journey I want to say thank you and may God bless you abundantly.
