Hi fellas, my name is Skully(Ghostrider) from the South Australian Chapter, Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club Australia, and I'm joining the Sydney Chapter for the run. There are also some Queenslanders. Looking forward to meeting a lot of allies from the conflict. The original name of the VVMC was GraveDiggers, so we are hoping that we are named as such. I have emailed this name to our platoon leader. Anyway, see you on the run. We are going central route, may have to come back in 2013 for the southern run. All the best, Skully.

My brother, Bob, served in the USAF in Nam and has lived in OZ nearly 35 years. He talked to someone at the Sydney Chapter when he heard you were coming to RFTW. Bob rode with me in a Chase Truck a couple of years back and had a great time. Look for me in Rancho, I'll be wearing a white hat!!! See you soon. Sweeper

Skully, welcome to you and your mates. Rode with a bunch of Australian folks on Harley's 100th Anniversary ride. Great bunch! I also had some of your soldiers in several training classes while on active duty. Hard working, very dedicated bunch of individuals.
Welcome home!

Hey Skully,
It was a pleasure to meet you and ride with you. I made it back to Colorado and will be checking on Dale and Marcia. You and your brothers and sisters are part of our family. If you have anyone that needs a place to stay if they come to Denver, CO to visit Dale and Marcia, our house is always open.

Vapors - thanks for checking on Dale and Marcia. Was on the phone with Dale for awhile earlier today, and plan to be heading that way within a couple weeks. Glad you made it home ok, even with another gas incident.
The guys who were flying out today just got into LAX a bit ago - will have a relatively short layover there before continuing home.
