G'day Smtrma cowboy.

I have been following your videos for some time now and you have convinced me to buy a Burgman 650 Executive. I may even make a video log of my own in two months time when I can afford one and show you the sights of OZ. Until then adios

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thank you very much for the complement. I know your love your new Exec. I would really like the power windscreen and the ABS on ALF but he was such a sweet deal, couldn't pass him up. Please keep in touch and let me know when you get her. Ride Safe.

[Groucherino]

So sorry for your loss. Our dog Sandy is such a part of the family, we know exactly how you must feel. If we go on holiday, she goes too, etc. I like nothing more than getting home on the scooter from work, then walking with her in the fields. Take care and looking forward to happier vlogs again.

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thank you for your kind words. A tribute video will be up soon.

[ike955]

I just bought my second set of Bridgestones for Speedy.

We are local and can go anytime you want bro!! It doesn't have to be a week long excursion for you to check it out.

ike

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thank you for your purchase. :-)

I know we can go there just about any time but I've always wanted to meet the other vloggers face to face and shake there hands.

If I can't go, I guess I can take the words from Ralphie's dad in "A Christmas Story"

"Well, theres always next year. "

Thanks Ike.

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thanks Fud. There is always a chance for DG. You just never know. :-)

[Fudmottin]

Sorry to hear about your dog. My last one passed away rather suddenly and I haven't had the heart to replace her. Also don't have the space I used to for a dog to play.

I was looking forward to running with that big bergman at DG3. Hope you can make it. But I guess that's one less thing to look forward to.

Have a good one.

[rangermedicman]

hey cowboy sorry for your lost. I know your pain, I know the lost of a good friend. your in our prayers. I know if may sound like a quiche but I believe your friend is in a better place one without pain and suffering. I hope to come visit you out there in TN I love the view and It would be an honor to ride with you. Also did see a USMC sticker on your bike? I was in the army I worked as an airborne medic. (lawn dart) ha ha. Well got to go once again sorry for your loss.

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thanks. I'm sorry to say I wasn't in the Armed forces. It's a patriotic sticker about freedom and being worth fighting for. I support our fighting men and women past and present.

[Harlley17]

I'm really sorry for your loss, you made me cry! RIP Trouble.

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thanks sweetie. Didn't mean to make you cry but it's a sad time.

[1VanFlyheight1]

Sorry to hear about Trouble Smyrna. Animals are just as much part of the family as the people and Trouble seems like he was a good companion. Take care man.

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thanks. Yes he was. I think about him and it brings a smile to my face. My pet name for him was Glump.  I will miss him.

[bluegem6559]

For what its worth ? Dont sell yourself short brother. I am so so sorry for your loss. I know there as much as a baby and part of the family as anyone could be. RIP Trouble !!!!

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thanks man. I'll have a tribute up pretty soon.

[LARC0]

I am sorry to hear that bro. I cannot imagine the loss...

As for the DG3 trip, I really hope you can make it, we need more scooter riders there! But I hear ya on the work bit... As it stands, I have the time off but don't really know if they will let me if we are busy... Only weeks away too.

I hope you feel better bud.

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thanks. I was REALLY looking forward to going this year. I'll just have to wait and see.

[seekinsoul]

Oh man, I'm sorry for your loss my friend.

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thanks buddy.

[britex3186]

Sorry for you loss.  I know how people become really attached to their pets and the loss of one is always hard.

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Yes it is. I'll reply to your email later tonight or tomorrow.

[maikeli7]

So very sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers. I hope the love and support of your friends and family can help to ease your journey through this difficult time.

Don't worry about the Gap run. I won't be able make it either - due to financial constraints. I hated to have to cancel that one, but what can you do?

I'm glad you listened to your voice again. You did the right thing.

Wishing you well,

Mike

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Sometimes you just got to listen. I know I'm glad I did. Thanks bro.

[motochron]

Sorry about the loss of your pet, I know how it feels to lose your friend. Take care.

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thanks Moto.

[suburbanryder]

I am an animal lover like you and everyone of our friends that passes away is never forgotten. I remember all the way back to a toddler and my dogs and cats that shared their life with me.

I'm stopping in Nashville probably around noon on Aug 4th or there abouts. Lets get some lunch bro.

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

I may be going to a different crew by then. If I'm off you can count on it.

[aeroliner750]

i know what your going through my wife and i take in retired gray hounds and every couple of years we have to put one or two down

and kinda knew that this wasn't going to be one of your normal vids

TAKE CARETO YOU AND YOURS

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thanks man. Yea I didn't think a intro would be right on this video.

[seekingwisdom7669]

sorry bud ! do you have the balls for the gap! larc0 leaves aug 1 are you ready?practice runs would be recommended.chicken.

[inkmonster0u812]

The Gap isnt that bad of a road.You cant evan get up much speed.I like HY28 better.Theres been two people killed this year, eight wrecks.Has nothin to do with balls, just dangerous riders who think with there balls.The last person killed last rideing season was a sports ride who sid swiped a crusier...It,s a fun place, but i,ve rode better.

[motorhead1]

Sorry to hear about your dog.

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thank You buddy.

[Zuunokhoi]

I'm sorry to hear that Smyrna, any idea how it could of happened? Or was it just one of those freak incidents?

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

I guess it was just his time. They did an ultrasound and he was eat up with Cancer. We never knew.

[MrBKBiker]

Sorry for your lost my friend.

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thanks BK

[KeukaRyder]

Sorry for your loss! It's tough when they're young. We've got an old girl who has some problems and everyday I think about her not being around. I could hear in your voice how I feel when I'm riding and thinking about her. I hope you see both of them again some day.

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Yes my friend, me too.

[REEDSBUD]

Gosh SC I am soooo sorry for you and your loss!! Your story REALLY affected me and I feel your pain for sure!! I lost my dog Maggee in 02 due to very similar circumstances, she was my baby for over 14 years and that was one of THE hardest things I have ever had to go thru! There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her. On a lighter note I sure hope Deals Gap works out and you get to go anyway my friend! Take care and I hope your wife is getting thru this ok too! ~Reed~

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thanks Reed. Most animal lovers know the pain. The hardest thing is coming home with no one to greet you. As for DG, there's always hope.

[ksweems]

My heart is breaking for you. I've had many dogs over my life and the "end" is always the hardest. Hope you are somehow able to take the Deals Gap run and life looks up for you REAL soon!

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thank you. I know we will get through it but it's a hard road.

[FoolonaBuell]

Great Video except for the news about your dog I am so sorry about your lose.

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thanks buddy. It sucks losing your dog on your birthday.

[FoolonaBuell]

Yup no problem. Oh dang it already sucks losing a dog or any pet in that matter but to lose them on your birthday that makes it even worse.

[uptowndisco2]

I feel your pain on the loss of your dogs, I lost my dog (child!) last November he was my best feind and companion as I live alone we both went through some bad times but he always cheered me up, only those who have animals and love them ,really know the feeling of loss when they go.

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thank you very much for your comment.
