I would like to thank Mark Loesch for his efforts in putting together the 1st. ( since I've been a member 16 yrs or so ) Four Winds Bike Show. Mark is a relatively new member but has been to a lot of our rallies over the years and has stepped up to help the 50th rally be something a little more special. Mark has some really cool bikes that he restored himself. He also goes to a lot of bike shows which he participates in and has an understanding of how they function. Mark is a guy that gets the job done and doesn't just talk about it. I'm glad he volunteered to be on our rally committee this year and put hours of his time into it.
Well I tried but it ain’t going to happen … I feel I need to respond to your post Tim because I take it as a personal attack toward me. My last post I offered to sit down, have a coffee and talk. The entire conversation was over as far as I was concerned then you had to make a post … while you didn’t come out and attack me personally (by name) your implications sure did! I will answer your “jabs” just because I won’t run and hide in the corner. The sit down and have a coffee isn’t extended to you by me, this will be my last response to you here because I’m done with this subject and done with you.
I am also glad Mark is organizing a bike show. I’ve said that multiple times, if you want to know how many then go back and count, I won’t waste my time. I also still think the show should have encompassed more bikes … again I think I made that clear multiple times too. I’m glad to hear Mark has restored many bikes by himself. While I’m not sure just what that means ? Mark and I probably have a lot in common then. If your feeling left out or something I am sure Mark will give you a handful of the trophies that he won, if not I have a few boxes in the basement full of trophies because the three shelves in the garage are already full … I will give you as many as you like. I have ribbons too if you would like some of those. Now on to volunteering and getting the job done … you must go back and read the above posts. You were at the meeting at Leo’s house … you don’t remember me volunteering? I also volunteered at another meeting down in Pittsburgh. I spoke to John face to face one on one and told him I would do anything he needed to let me know. The only stipulation I told him was I would be down in FL having medical treatments and I would not be around to make the monthly meetings. Last I was told was “thanks, we can find something for you”. I assumed nothing was needed because NOBODY contacted me. So if you count that’s THREE times I did volunteer!
I guess I said what needed said. I’m finished with this subject … I have many more important things in my life right now and this doesn’t even make the list. Have your bike show, give yourself a trophy and be happy.
