Bud Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Today was the 43rd of 43 radiation treatments. So glad to have them behind me and excitedly looking forward to next week when I meet Larry and pickup the new rig. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and to my eye, this is a beautiful rig. Thank you to all who have encouraged me along the way!!:clap Now my education begins. Link to comment

ArmyGuy Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Great news Bud. Enjoy the hell out of that machine! Link to comment
Chris K Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 That is great news Bud! I heard that you are going to pay for the new rig by selling "flying chair" rides at the UN! Link to comment
Bud Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Good idea Chris. Do you think I will have any takers????? I used to fly a hull on our Hobie 16's. Maybe a transferable skill??? Link to comment
greiffster Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 In. I bet a man of my "stature" keeps that wheel on the ground. Link to comment
tallman Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 You'd lose that bet. Especially since it isn't my rig, I'd guarantee it if I drove. Link to comment
szurszewski Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 In. I bet a man of my "stature" keeps that wheel on the ground. Pretty sure that chair plus you AND Nicol would weigh less thank our empty chair and I can get that in the air.... Link to comment

Endobob Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Bud - somehow I missed this cancer thing you are dealing with - glad you are through with the radiation. Over the past few years I have come to the conclusion that my life, like many others, is GREAT but not always easy! I like your new rig! Look forward to seeing you soon. Link to comment
Bud Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 Thanks Bob, Most of us here have had our own share of difficulty, but we suck it up and do what has to be done. Looking forward to catching up at the UN Link to comment
Indy Dave Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Here's Bud working on his Vanna White imitation. He's reserving the the fancy footwear and glittery smile for when he picks up the new rig, no doubt! Looking Good Bud!! Link to comment
Bud Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Dave, Who is that old fat guy you put in that picture? I sure enjoyed our conversation yesterday and looking forward to seeing you again at the UN. For the rest of you HOONS, have you ever noticed that everyone you meet on BMWST are really nice people? (Of course you can exclude me from that statement ) Edited April 8, 2017 by Bud Link to comment
Indy Dave Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Dave, Who is that old fat guy you put in that picture? He was the one TAKING the picture! For the rest of you HOONS, have you ever noticed that everyone you meet on BMWST are really nice people? (Of course you can exclude me from that statement ) What Bud has failed to mention is that we hooked up the trailer to my vehicle and transferred the ramp and spare tire as well. I closed the back door and said "Great, Thanks" and reached out to shake Bud's hand, as one does at the completion of a deal. Umm . . one little thing, Dave. You haven't PAID me yet! Can't blame a guy for tying! Edited April 8, 2017 by workin' them angels Link to comment
TyTass Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Looking forward to seeing you healthy and hale, and your rig, at the UN! Link to comment

Bud Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Thanks. We are in Colorado. Today I woke up feeling good for the first day in months. Maybe the Colorado mtn air? Maybe a ride in the mountains yesterday thinking about summer riding? Maybe just starting to feel better? No matter the cause, I'm excited about the upcoming riding season and seeing many of my friends from around the country. Thanks to all who reached out to encourage me during this process. It means more than you will ever know. Ride Well Link to comment

Bud Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 Update. Had PSA test yesterday. Got the results today: 0.06 I'm so happy to be considered cancer free. Thanks again to everyone here who offered so much support. Looking forward to seeing some of you at FART. Link to comment
szurszewski Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 You know what you should do to celebrate? Buy another bike! Very glad to hear we will be stuck with you awhile longer. Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Great to hear!! I second that. I'm too close to this issue within my family. The loss of my mother in 2014 to Stage 3 lung cancer still hurts like hell. Bud, if your family didn't already mention it, they are glad you fought it and are still around. Congrats on the big R!!!
