Hey Ya'll

Subject: Hey Ya'll Wed Feb 04, 2009 11:35 pm

This is a howdy from Rison Arkansas. My name is Gary Goolsby. I am 64 (till August). Been retired for almost 3 years. Been married to the same woman 33 years (until August). Have two grown daughters with 5 grandkids. Only the 4 year old still loves me. The others are too busy to remember me now. Been riding my 03 Silverwing since July 1,2008. Ride with the PGR as often as I can. Volunteer Red Cross worker. Substitute high school teacher. Have just a few mods to the Swing. Most of my riding is for pleasure only. I go fast when I have to, but prefer to just take in the beauty around me as I enjoy the quiet of the machine under me. Looking forward to learning many things about the nature of the Swing from all of you in this forum. There doesn't seem to be just a whole lot of these beauties around. I did see one identical to mine this past weekend in Mississippi. That is the first Swing I have seen on any PGR mission. Hoping I can contribute some help to the group.
Gary

Gary,

I thought the same as Dennis, that you have been here awhile. Welcome. We have a couple of members I believe in Arkansas. I will check the member list again.

I have been around, just haven't taken the time to actually introduce myself. Kinda shy about those things. I know a Silver Wing owner in Smackover Arkansas. He is only about 60 or 70 miles from Rison.

I hope I can hang around this forum for many years. It is very informative and is fun to be a part of.

Glad you are with us. Good for you for your work with the Red Cross. I think it is always good in life to give back. I'm with you on just looking around and enjoying the beauty of nature....sort of fills me up.

Welcome Gary, I too ride an 03. You have some wonderful country to ride also. RT 7 north and south, pigs tail (or whatever its called) and just the Ozarks in general. Dick

Dick, I have taken the Pig Trail many times in a car. This is my first year to have a scooter, and that will be something on my list of things to do before I die. The USA is filled with beautiful sites to see and you are right, the Pig Trail is worth the trip to see. It not only goes North and South, it goes East,South,West,North all at the same time.

The part of Arkansas I live in is mostly delta. Jillions and Jillions of trees. Pretty in the Spring and Fall. Yall all come see me sometime.

I drink a lot of ice tea year round.

I road the Pig Trail last year on the SWing on the way to the Renegade Rally. It was very memorable ... at a couple of places I couldn't stop laughing. It seemed like some of those curves wouldn't stop cheers
