other dog Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 It's almost time for the 2022 ATCA Show in Macungie, Pa. "The greatest antique truck show on earth"- (Doug Maney, 1987) Just wondering who was going, if anyone. Me and Zina from Gladys are planning to go. Unfortunately, Vicki from Florida doesn't think she'll make it this year. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Vladislav Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Damn sad to hear your motor bike crash stories guys. Wish speedy recovery and enjoy other kinds of activities if riding doesn't seem as fun anymore. I noted I ride less in the recent years . Made a few really long holiday trips in the past cruising to Europe for a couple of weeks. The greatest adventure was a travel to Turkey where I happened to go to Istanbul, Ankara and Antalya on Mediterranian coast. Have that done in 2010 and got feeling of a big deal done and moved focuse of interest to trucks. And also big trips with a car since my kid grew up to age suitable to keep my company in such adventures. Hope Macungie will be no less greater event as in the past. Drooling to see fresh pictures from the showgrounds since currently I'm not supposed to be able to put my foot print onto in the foreseen futrure. 1 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69882-macungie/#findComment-500691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Hi Dave. I just told my wife your story, We both cried some, because we , ( Have never been there) but have known, and in my case (Had lost friends) .. We still ride just a little bit.. I really don't know what to say, other than, we are so glad you are 'Alive' I used to ride 'everywhere' , in all kinds of weather.. just a few days ago I took my sportster out for a run around to do some easy errands.. I get on that thing and I am at home, but I have to be more aware, and ready to 'crack' the throttle, to get away from a dumbass, and at times,,,, back off and change lanes when I can to get away from a cell phone driver, etc:.... I know that when I put my wife on the the back of her Tri-Glide, I do the best I can to be safe.. I don't carry her on my Softail Duece since we got the Trike. I would like to think we are safer on the Trike... However... are any of us 'Rider's' really safe any more??

Quickfarms Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I hope you have a speedy and complete recovery 30 years ago I was involved in a serious accident at work and spent a month in the hospital. I had to learn to walk again and I can still feel where they drilled a hole in my skull. for months after being home I would do something one day and the next day I would spend the day on the couch. Covid caused my PTSD to be evident and no longer controlled and I am having issues related to my TBI my advice is doctors are still practicing medicine and are basing there advice on an average. According to my doctors I should not due some of the stuff that I do. I advise people to listen to there body, my orthopedist told me sore is OK, time to stop, but pain is a red flag and to call him. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69882-macungie/#findComment-500717 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a really cool adventure. Worth to bother imagination a bit, maybe looking for a non-profit but fuel paying load to cover some big portion of the distance. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69882-macungie/#findComment-500758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
