I feel like I owe some people an apology here for some reason. I feel compelled because I feel somewhat responsible. I've stated before my intentions were to have a spot for us owners to have a place on VTXOA to post some info for the purpose of meeting others here in WA.

I said I was shocked when Indy closed down the official site. I shouldn't have been. He worked hard on it, and I think no I know I would have felt some anger to another presence. I sent him a private email about my concern and to wish him well. I wanted to ride more this summer and get out and meet some of my brothers out there. I wanted to become involved and give back. I thought I might be able to help. I got caught up in total and complete BS. I contributed to that BS and reget it.

I love this the state, the scenic beauty and the majesty of it all, the only thing better is seeing it on my X. Stuff happens so fast, I put people in bad situations and feelings got ruffled. You guys rode together and are tight I could never breach that. I just don't know you all that well nor you me. We needed time to learn from each other and how each other ride and we have our alliances.. I entered into the last ride as a try it before you buy it and for the most part, I liked it. But I don't like the politics nor the power grabbing and posturing. Some want more org, some less, some in-between. I just wanna ride.

I came in this morning set to ask for a new forum for all X riders in the PacNW. Our summers are toooooo short for this crap. We need somewhere to post info for those who wanna show or not. We now have it. I hope noone feels any obligation to go one way or the other, I certainly don't.

Too all on the sidelines, I apologize, and hope we are all still friends. To the WAVTX'rs. Good Luck to Tony and Chris and the rest of the troops. Hope to meet for another ride someday.

Thanks, and please feel free to post this on the Delphi site. I don't feel welcome there.

I dont really think there was a need for a Pacific northwest group, because the washington and oregon group bounce around on each other site whenever they want and have always been welcome.

The only part I want to speak on is you leaving this site because you dont feel welcome. In my opinion your wrong, you are welcome here, there or anywhere. I dont think anyone here has been harsh to you, just everyone has an opinion the same as you do and this will settle in a few more days and all will be forgotten. Keep an eye over here and stay in touch, your always welcome!

Chris,

Your a good guy. I plan too. In good nature and fun I will do my best. You know we all see things differently. I am not going anywhere, I plan to be part of this forum, and like you said, when things settle down, I may visit the other site. I didn't say anyone treated me harshly, I have gotten emails and pm's and forum messages. Need some time to sort all this out. I've done the best I could to take responsibility for my actions. You'd have ta be me and see what's in my inbox to know what I'm talkin bout. Both sides of the border wanted the new forum. I simply acted.

Take care, Keep an eye on the rear mirror bud, I might catch that bad dude of yours! :lol:

Hey Al (feel like I'm talkin to myself) :lol:

How's things in CA? I have some pretty good pics of Leavenworth. Had a great time and the trip back was excellent. Well, we're going to have to do something Bud. Need to get hold of Winterlion. He's MIA. Met Craneguy and Bildal. My commuting buddy went and we all had lunch. Kirby and I went back over Bluett then Snoqualmie. Took the backroads to Bothell then Edmonds and rode the boat back to Kingston. Had 401 miles on the clock. Get this, I took the shield off. Whata bonehead huh? It was kinda nice tho.

We're thinkin' bout another trip over there. Gonna take the wife with me and maybe spend the night.

FYI, we have an integrated forum for our Southern rebel X'rs. See my signature.

Call me when you get back into town. Until then be safe bro.

Al
