Thanks Bobby , so many people on here that I only know them by there " call sign " that I know few by there real name . As a big guy I know well how hard it was for him to ride , Big Hoss and I talked one time and seems he had little better than a Hundred pounds over me ... There are times that riding was the last thing on my mind cause fo the pain involved to do so , but it has been some of the more fun times in my life so far . I know that he was like me , it takes fellas like you guys around , people you know will help you if all goes wrong for me to ride . For me to break a leg there would be noting simple about moving me so I only ride with people I know would be there for me , I know " Big Hoss" felt the same way .
