    The Truth About the Great In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Lie!

    The Truth about the Great In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Lie!
    Hello everyone! I used to be as memnber of this forum, and made a number of friends. You may remember some of my ride reports, including "Catantahua!" which is still in the ride report section of this forum.

    I sold the Midnight Special several years ago, and miss it like crazy. But, I now ride a BMW K1200LT and I can't say I'm disappointed.

    Anyway, thought I'd come back here and say hey, and see if any of my old friends remember me, and if anyone wants to see any of my more recent ride reports, thought I'd post a link. The first and most interesting might be "The Truth About the Great In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Lie!" ( http://phfft.com/In-a-gadda-da-vida.php )

    There are also links to more of my scribblings and ride reports on my home page (http://www.phfft.com )

    Hope to see some of my old friends make an appearance there, and please sign the gust book to say hey. Been missing you all almost as much as I miss that fine ole Midnight.

    Kind Regards,

    Ted Thompson

    I am pretty sure I met Ted at the Eureka Springs rally back in 2000, I was trying to fix the coils on my bike at the time and did not get to ride with him. He had the Venture back then. Welcome back Ted!!

        Sure enuff, Gary, I remember you, too! Good to see ya here again.

        I saw my beautiful, pristine Midnight the other day. It was totally ragged out. What a shame.

              pretty good. The whole farting contest reminded me of an old Gene Tracy joke.
