Thanks guys! It sure was an honor to be picked for this month, kinda validated my Safari Madness to those who don't quite get it! LOL!! It sure was a stroll down memory lane doing that write up; memories both good and bad.
It's funny how inspiration is a fire that spreads from one person to another. Just as I was inspired to begin to work on my own ride by some here, so I in turn have inspired. That's a humbling place to be in.
And yes, I was smiling during that trans swap during THAT moment. There were plenty of others where I was not looking so happy, believe me!!
Thanks again amigos, and God bless!
