Traveler North

Thank God you and David survived that horrible ordeal. At that speed it could have been the end for you both. Sorry for your suffering but happy you both are on road to recovery. Will remember you guys in my prayers for a speedy recovery. Great to have met you and look forward to seeing you again.

Hi Maus. Am so glad you had a good time this past weekend. As a 6 year vet of the event, you were a great addition to the gathering. I am so glad we could meet and look forward to seeing you again. The gathering featured a great bunch of guys, both escorts and clients.

Someone has to assure that the new guys have a proper welcome. Vin is a great guy and I was delighted that he came to the dinner, and came before the dinner and came after the dinner and possibly came during the dinner. Come jokes, they never get old.

I'm finally done unpacking! Last weekend was absolutely wonderful. Every day was relaxing, exhilarating, and ultimately satisfying. Such a friendly crowd full of warmth and intrigue--it's rare that a gathering of such a variety of people can be so pleasant and agreeable....
 
To all the clients I saw and those I met, you couldn't have been more friendly and supportive. I may not come off as nervous, but I was--but that didn't last long. To all providers I met, it was such a pleasure and I'm grateful for all that you shared with me. Loads of sharing goodness. I learned so much about what I can accomplish and about how important this community is to the people within it. I left with a new sense of belonging, new goals I look forward to reaching, and new friends I look forward to seeing again.
 
Also, I had a lot of fun. LOTS and LOTS of fun. I'll spare you the details of said fun because it would take another 10 paragraphs of your time. Eric and David I'm happy you are okay and wish I could graciously relieve you while you are in discomfort.
 
A year is too long to wait for the next one!

OK guys so latbear4blk made a mistake. We ALL make mistakes. He has removed the offending photographs from his blog and apologized. Enough already. It's time, and more, to bury this thread and move on.

@Eric Hassan, I'm glad you are so up-beat about your situation and wish you a speedy recovery. You seemed similarly positive on Monday evening when I first heard of the accident. Still in shock, I suspect. I guess the next challenge will be sitting still in aeroplane seats on the way home! (I remember my brother getting a nasty knee wound in a motor bike accident and then within days having to take the three day sleeper train trip from Canberra to Perth for the start of the university term. His cabin mate (a uni friend of his) was NOT impressed when David used the hand basin in their cabin to piss.)
 
Fortune has smiled on you (relatively, at least) but it's a salutary reminder of how tenuous our hold is on this life, and if nothing else does, should prompt us to enjoy each day to the fullest. It's also useful dose of perspective on how small some of the disagreements we have in here really are. My thoughts are with you and David over the coming days.

You sir are a slut. I envy you.

Funny you bring that up.
 
Some guys get to have all the fun, and others are left doing all the work, with little or no gratitude.
 
A lot of the gossip all last weekend was about how sorry everybody felt for poor Purplekow. Others were frolicking in the sun with margaritas and hunky guys. And here you are stuck providing proctological exams to Vin Marco. Knowing you as I do, I'd bet money you even went as far as providing analysis of body fluids, flexibility training, and testing his blood pressure during strenuous activity.
 
Anyways, let me express our community's admiration of you, and your selfless desire to do the heavy lifting. After all, Vin's legs are quite muscular. Lifting them to perform your examination must have truly been a sweat-inducing labor of love.

Purplekow, I had the good fortune to “taste” Draven’s “two cantaloups” and “salad ingredients of two large walnuts
and prizewinning cucumber in front”. An amazing “meal” added to that amazing anatomy and smile on that handsome face. I will have to get another serving or two again sometime, preferably soon.

I saw the pictures before they came down. I can honestly say I paid no attention to anyone in the background and didn't for a moment speculate which of the posters here could been in the photo.
 
I feel latbear4blk has acted honorably. It seems like it was just a misunderstanding and he has apologized and removed the photo's that some objected to.

Draven........if I swoon, will anyone help me up. Well will any three help me up.
Fortunately, I have a photographic memory so I can still envision just how tight that white multicolored striped brief speedo was and just how much bulge occurred and where. To those who were not there, briefly: very tight; amazingly contoured, imagine two canteloups fighting to get out of out a rubber sling in the back and salad ingredients of two large walnuts and prize winning cucumber in the front. The rest of the body was equivalent to the muscular anatomy texts with a classically handsome face and a smile like the Cheshire cat, so large and endearing that the rest of him could fade away but the brilliance of the rest refuses to be outshone, only matched.

Thank you for the post.
 
I was wondering whether you or David would post something. Many of us heard about what happened and were worried about you two.
 
I hope you have good health insurance. If we can help by raising funds to pay for unexpected medical expenses, etc., please let us know. We have done this before.
 
Meanwhile, glad to see you have the right attitude. We are all clicking our heels for you. In no time at all you will be back to normal, or homo sweet homo, or wherever it is you are after you've flown over Kansas.

I just heard about this yesterday and I appreciate you updating us, and am glad that ultimately you'll are ok, though banged up. As a rider I know the risk I take everytime I get on that bike, but that I can't allow fear to control my life. Sending much love and I'm here for the both of you, if you need anything.

Thank God! You are both incredibly blessed.

Having attended this event for some five or six years, I had been informed when I came that pictures were forbidden. Maybe it would be a good idea to remind previous attendees and inform new ones that this the preferred policy for all to follow. My impression came from previous attendees who assured me this was the policy.

I agree with Eric and Bashful, that all the photos should be removed.

I think the smartest move would be to remove all the pictures. I understand your intention and that it did not go well in execution.
