Mr. Dirtweek

[Okiewan]

We all know what goes on at DW. Lifelong friendships and endless memories made. A REAL community of human beings all coming together for a week of what some of us phrase "the way the world should be". Not because we get to ride for a week, but how we all get along, how we help each other... how parents can feel at ease with their kids riding all over the place... the list is endless.

This year, there was a moment that truley touched all of us. I thought I'd share the vid we have, so everyone else can be inspired by it.

All I can say about the Gomer clan is I am proud to call you my friends and You Mike, ARE MR. DirtWeek.

(I kept the quality a little low for everyone, it's only 1.3 megs and WORTH the time to download)

Wow... glad someone got that on video! What a very special award presentation (and an awesome family)! :thumb:

 

[Okiewan]

You'll note the camera man got a little vaclempt there at the end, lol.... I doubt there was a dry eye in the house.

The Gomers are for sure a special bunch. HLG himself might be considered "special" in that short bus kinda' way but then he goes and pulls a presentation like that off while barely able to walk. :)

 

[Green Horn]

Very cool indeed! I can't think of a better recipient for the award.

 

[JuliusPleaser]

I'll remember that presentation forever. I was cryin like Richard Simmons at a baby shower.

The Gomers are what it's all about. :thumb:

Your not alone, I got to feel the "Gomer's" spirit a little while my bike was(still is) out of commission for the DRN ride at Turkey Bay. He offered his ride to me if anyone was headed this way from Down East. :worship: Mike you are the man and Lori the woman!

I have made some tenative plans to make it down there this Spring, and that is just another reason why I need to.

Mike if we don't get to ride and all it is is a visit I would consider it a trip that is more than worth it :thumb:

I'm wondering if it's bad for my image to get all weepy at work like this ?

Thanks for sharing that with us.

Yes, Lori is an incredible Lady. I really enjoyed talking with her after my crash. She didn't have to sit with me for 45 minutes making sure I didn't pass out or have some sort of episode from my head injury, but she did. The Nylands are SUPER nice people and I look forward to meeting them again and I will. :thumb: :thumb:

Monkey-Right click it and then click "Save Target As" and save to your hard drive. Then watch it. That should work.
