Hi I'm Helmut from Germany and I'm new here
Hello,
You may wonder why someone from Germany registers. The answer is simple: I used to go on the Sunday morning Ride in the seventies. If I close my eyes I can see most of the bikes, but I can't remember names. Here is a few: Rick Rockey, Ron and Darlene Nelson, then there was Dentist and a guy by the name of Alex (All BMW's GS model). In 1985 I returned to Germany after living in the US for 21 years. Since I had a little cash and a few credit cards I decided to ride to New York. It was Rick Rockey who had persuaded me to by the GS and who helped me to fix it up. Since I departed on a weekend, some of the guys came with me to the Sierras. From there I went North to the Canadian border, then south to Baja California. Then north again to Yellowstone and then south again and so on. I was on the road for 3 months. The dentist, who's name I cant remember came to New York later that year to buy my bike and ride it back to California. Now here is why I registered: After looking at the slides I had taken, a lot of memories came back. If anyone who reads this remembers me or the guys I had mentioned, I would be very happy if you could sent me an Email. Hope to hear from you Helmut |

Hi Helmut! I am curious about why you registered here on the Ninjette site (focused mainly on the light kawi sportbikes), but I'm intrigued! I'm not sure how many Rick Rockeys there are, but I rode with one for awhile here in the bay area before he headed down to LA a few years ago. Will add a pic or two in a second....
EDIT: Is this the guy?
