  1. *** Confirmed Memorial Mission , Jamie Nicholas, 29 September 2009, Clay , WV ***

    The Memorial Mission for unveiling of the Jamie Nicholas Monument on 29 September is rapidly becoming a “high profile” event. Those who attended the 2-day funeral mission we did in Clay , WV a year ago, will no doubt remember the massive amounts of community support we witnessed for Jamie and his family; this mission falls on the one-year anniversary of Jamie’s passing (KIA). His wife, Michelle (who has since joined the Pennsylvania PGR) has commissioned a former Disney artist to create a full-size likeness of Jamie on a 7 ½ foot tall piece of granite…this monument will be placed at the cemetery and unveiled at this mission. Members of Jamie’s Special Forces team will be in attendance, as well as other friends and family members , and I’m sure it will be an emotional time for some of them. Local news media will be covering the event, as requested and coordinated with Michelle. She is doing everything she can to ensure Jamie will never be forgotten as a hero who faithfully served his country, state, and community. I know this mission falls on a workday, but if you can find a way to attend, I know the family will be very appreciative. I am extending an invitation to all riders, i.e., VFW, Legion Riders, Red Knights, Blue Knights , CMA, etc., to participate in this mission; every citizen of the USA enjoys freedoms paid for with the blood of those who have sacrificed their lives, and it is fitting to invite all who are able, to participate. A US flag was flown in honor of Jamie at this year’s Gathering of The Guard in Utah , and it will be presented to the family at the mission. There will be announcements made of several other very special projects relating to Jamie, but I am not at liberty to publicize them at this time.

    Staging location: Go-Mart in Clay Junction, WV (located at the intersection of Rt 4 and Rt 16…it’s “Go-Mart Inc 65”). This will be the most convenient location for those arriving from any direction, and will afford you the opportunity to fuel up, get a bite, have a bathroom break, etc. According to Google , the address is: 24 Procious Maysel Rd, Clay, WV.

    Time: Come as early as you like, but please try to be there no later than 1130. Mission brief will take place at 1145, KSU at 1200 sharp! We will be riding on a country road, and parking on the road when we arrive at the general cemetery location. Bring a plate for your kickstand. The cemetery is located about ¼ mile from the road, and we will be walking through the woods on a nice trail to get to it. For those unable to walk that far, we will have a vehicle to transport you. The friends and family will be gathering at a farmhouse near the cemetery, and our bike/cage procession will pass right by them. We will arrive at the cemetery location about 20-30 minutes ahead of them, and will be in place as they arrive.

    Additional data: I will be contacting the Clay County Sheriff to inquire about police escort. Bikes and cages are welcome; please remember to bring your 3x5 flags, and if you can bring an extra one, please do so. I know there will be several guest riders with us who will not have a flag of their own.

    If you have any questions, feel free to contact Buddy (RCIC) at deaconbiker@yahoo.com The phone number is 304-984-0104 . Please continue to monitor this mission thread for any updates.

  2. Well I just aquired this in trade for doing some work. It is a Bersa Lusber 844 Cal 7,65 (32 Caliber) Industria Argentina. I have fired it about a dozen times and I really like it. The only plastic on it is the grips which make it pretty heavy for it's size. Is there anyone here that knows anything on these guns? Seems like info on the net is limited.

    I figured I would post this as well since I haven't seen too many of them. I got this after my grandfather died in 2001. It is a High Standard Sport King .22LR. Made in Hamden Conn. I did some research online and a High Standard guru sent me this info:

    4xx,xxx shipped as a catalog number 9101 on 3/5/1955 to account number 8125 on invoice number 27803.

    It's a pretty neat too how it comes apart. Pull the slide back and lock it, push the button on front and the barrel slides out then rest slides off too. Don't think it's worth a whole lot, but it does have sentimental value.

  4. I've been known to ride around the neighborhood without my helmet when making test runs (strange noises, oil change, tire issues)

    It's all about making sure you spend as little time as possible on the bike, that means going as fast as possible! You have to be smart people, if you need to run to the store and it's 5 miles away.

    If you go 25 mph it will take you 12 minutes. But if you go 80 you'll get there in ~4 minutes.

    As you can plainly see, it's a far better idea to go 80 with no safety gear on because you'll be on the bike much less time.

    That goes for drinking too right? Better to be on the bike for less time while drunk so you hurry up, get home and get off the bike right????:rulez:

  5. Got this from military.com. Maybe some of you all need a job, now might be a good time.

    Uncle Sam Going on a Serious Hiring Binge According to a Partnership of Public Service (PPS) study titled, "Where the Jobs Are 2009: Mission-Critical Opportunities for America," the public sector will need to fill 273,000 jobs in various federal agencies over then next three years. The greatest hiring need is in the health care field. At least 54,114 medical and public health jobs need to be filled including 31,455 nurses, 10,626 doctors, and thousands of nursing assistants, pharmacists, and other wellness professionals, reports the PPS

    EDIT: Please don't turn this into a political pissing match.

  6. When I was in the military, I got a cell phone in Cali, 760 area code. Now Im back in Ohio, 740/614 area code and I refuse to change my number because I have too many ppl all over the world that have it. I just tell them the story and that I live in Ptown and it's all good. The only prob is when bill collectors call or something like that, its at like 11 at night because they figure I am in Cali and it's earlier there.
