I was waiting to invite a bunch of buds to join the Cafe until the site was fully developed, or at least until we had enough content to make it interesting to someone who hadn't been a part of the recent revolution at the 50R site.
Well, we may not be fully developed with logos, images, organization, etc. but we sure as hell have some content here now so last week I pulled the trigger and started inviting these birds. I see now that 6 of them have signed up...that's all I recognize from their Profiles, could be more I guess, some of them are pretty sneaky.
Most are members of our Friday night Peckerhead Motorcycle Racing Team "beer, BS bench racing & stogies" group but each is a genuine Peckerhead in his own way! It other-words, they are in the right place here at the Cafe. These are some pretty interesting cats and I hope they are active participants so you can enjoy their unique personalities & backgrounds.
To the new guys: Please fill out your Profiles with as much info as you are comfortable with (what do you ride?), introduce yourselves and sign your posts with your real name (Pistol may be an exception to this...for a reason). This is a very friendly place, we're all on a first name basis and we've found this familiarity really helps set and maintain the friendly tone that I think you'll like. Virtually no "rules", no Moderators (we were moderated to death at the old place), we just sort of self-police when required - almost never - and keep it like it would be if we were sitting around a table having a beer, or around the campfire at a rally sharing outrageous riding stories. A great place to be.
To the old guys: A quickie intro on these boys.
Illuminator - Randel Bird. He will alternately piss you off & delight you! And challenge your thinking. I can't wait to see him and Lance on the same thread!
Jomarti - John Martin. Ask him about the time he ran over a Rattlesnake on his hotrod FXRT!
Landshark - Daniel Peirce. He camera, will travel. His images have appeared on this Cafe before. He took the great shots of my Norton.
Road Dog - Dual Sport adventurer extraordinaire. Lowly husband of Beemerchick who is a genuine "piece of work"! I hope she signs up too.
The Rev - Bill Howe. No relation. OK, he's my son. A long haired guitar playing, song writing son-of-a-gun who runs the best website going on B-29's, the WWII air war in the Pacific, China-Burma-India, Tinian Island...and gathering place for many of the Old Eagles remaining from that era. Link on his profile.
Wild Will - Will Guyan. Wild Will O' the West. Escaped the dreary life of a Pennsylvania plumber for a wild, free life as a stonemason/house & fireplace builder, hippie, father, raconteur, road burner, explorer, skinny-dipper and personal confidant to La Tigressa in the Redwood Country of Northern Cali.
Pistol - George Tuttle. One of my very best buddies. Rides his MV Augusta F4, FJR1300, Norton & Triumphs about like he flew the F-4s & F-16s. A great wing-man.
That's all except to say I am continually honored to be a part of the Cafe, and the group named above (which will grow). Getting these two groups together is a big day for me!
