dalegoldston Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Well we are doing phase two of our three phase trip. Been here two weeks and trying to get used to the heat but 123 is fukin hot even if it is a DRY HEAT, my ass. Na all is well so far I have flown on a C-130, Chinook Helo, A Sherpa and I am waiting for my Blackhawk ride later this morning. The Sherpa was cool it flyies like 100 ft off the ground at 220 mph and just follows the terrain its was like a 1.5 hour roller coaster ride, I almost blew chunks it was getting close. Well peeps all take care looking forward to the dune trip to sahara in sept, should be back by then. Later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sredish Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Dale, glad to hear your having at least a little fun over there. Riding in a blackhawk would definitely be something to remember. Hell, any of those rigs would be a kick. Stay safe, watch your ass and don't take any shit. I'll keep your banshee warm till you get back bro! You still haven't seen my Honda, what's up with that. Plan a ride AS SOON as you get back, maybe a Murray trip. Later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toybreaker Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Good to hear your keeping your head down. Come back with all your fingers and toes so you can ride as much as you can. I am lucky i just do circles around the oil platform or this next trip drop off a buncha low IQ marines that don't understand boxer shorts clog up the toilet when you try to wash em and let go!
