Ray, I only have one thing to say
« on: March 30, 2012, 08:36:33 AM »
Ray, Happy Birthday!

Take a moment to reflect on your accomplishments with the MN-MSTA over the years.  You did a remarkable job transitioning the group from the the old newsletter days "back in the day" to a web based culture. 

We've had our differences but on my own reflection, it's hard to imagine where things would be today if you hadn't started MN-Sportbike, then MN-MSTA websites. 

I am amazed at your resolve.  After that initial spike of heavy participation with MN-Sportbike, the subsequent waning would have had me packing up and leaving it for someone else to bury.  You  hung in there to resurrect the recent interest.  As much as I often thought about dropping my membership, I know I will be missing some continuity in my life.  I hope you get some pride and satisfaction that you provide this continuity for several of us.

So take this day....or no...the whole weekend to step back and allow yourself the satisfaction of what you have accomplished here.  You deserve it.  I hope everyone would take the same moment to thank Ray for his often overlooked and under-appreciated efforts.

P.S.  I made a copy of this.  If you nuke it, I will keep posting it.  Allow yourself a day to sit back and accept everyone's gratitude!

Happy Birthday Ray. As Paul mentioned, very few have given as much to the motorcycling community in Minnesota as you have. Cheers!

These people have taught me more about riding than any day spent on a track: Larry B, Tony K, Vince J, Mr. Wonderful, V2Neal, Marty F, Kevin B, Devon W, Ehrich, Mike A, John L, Arnell, Kirk, Ray C

Track days are like climbing the rock wall at REI.
Perhaps I need to stop taking the high road.

Paul I don't think you quite get the "one thing to say"...it goes like this;



HaPpY BiRtHdAy Ray, you are doing good old man.

What you just read is based on my experience and the info I have acquired during my life. Yes, I post long responses regularly because I like to fully explain my views. If you don't like it or agree with what I have to say; ignore it. I HATE LIARS ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO PRETEND TO BE YOUR FRIEND!

It took a bit of work to get that bit down.  I really don't know how you guys can pull off those 1000+ word postings.
