Big Jack recently posted on both the Thunderbird1600.com forum and on here about his health issues and concerns for his future. In response, I posted this video of our fun run through Monument Valley on the way to the SWTF 2011 Rally to boost his morale and let him know he'll ride again... SWTF - Day 2 - Recorded on the Road by Narsisco Lopez Let's hear it for Jack and give him tons of support as he beats back this demon!

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Jack told us about that video at the Midwest rally but it was hard for me to find. I saw it recently over at the tbird site in the post about Jack and was so happy to finally see it. Looks like some amazing scenery and a great time. I've seen Jack get on that throttle plenty of times. He's not scared to get on it.

watching Jack go flying past in that video looked strangely familiar, as I recall him blowing past me in a similar fashion. Later I was told that I only get one chance to pass and then he is going!
