Cobra Gunship

Saw lots of these gunships while in Vietnam in 1969. This is a nicely restored one in Mark, IL.

I'll work on getting Ursala in a few better shots of Birds I've flown, or just sexy birds. That is a very nicely restored F-model AH-1 on display in Mark, IL, why Mark, no Idea I'm sure there's a story, I was one of the last Cobra Pilots in the Army. One unit held out a little longer than mine, and that was the unit I went to next, 1-25 atk in Hawaii, some Cobra pilots went down kicking and screaming, I did too, just wasn't worth an O-Conus PCS move, (of course ended up going there any-ways, only 2 years later.) I'll see if I can get more Pics of Ursala with Cobra's, I've seen several static displays around here that would be a nice back drop for the Beemer.
BTW, I grew up about 50 miles south east of that location, Paxton/Rantoul/Loda area, airforce brat.

Old and Dirty

One of my best GS rides was the 2001 BMW sponsored GS Ride thru the Ocala National Forest, during Bike Week. Jimmy Lewis led the pack and did some training on deep sand and offroad riding techniques. Was an absolute blast!

The ride was divided up based on experience, and after riding enduros in MI for 30+ yrs I thought I would be up to the more difficult part of the ride. In one muddy section, I stopped to help a fellow rider who was stuck in a deep mudhole....and after I get him out, and started to follow him, I got too close to his knobby tire in another mud section....and the pic shows the results. Got a lot of laughs at the next rest stop. Both the bike and I needed a good hose down back at the motel.

Funny story, my wife and kids were already in New Orleans and my youngest daughter begged me to bring that bear with me. So how can you turn down a sad child. Snowball (the bear) rode the entire ride strapped to the bike, in the middle of tropical storm Fay and all. She was a real trooper, had to throw her in the washer machine when I got there. It was fun, got all kinds of strange looks and smiles.
