QUICK SILVER~~~~~JOHN

WILDBILLandRED · 01-07-2010, 07:45 AM

Hey John,

Congrats on your retirement! Good luck hitting the high milage. It wont matter if you beat him, Im sure youll have fun trying.

We hope to make more SSR events this year. 2009 was a wash with too many HOG events and the wedding thing.

We should have a bunch more pages for the NortheastSSR site this year.

Ill add you to the list for the 4th.

As folks start waking up from mid winter slumbers, maybe we can hit the dozen mark.

Wild Bill

838stingray · 01-07-2010, 09:27 AM

Count us in!

Either need to find a babysitter or maybe bring the Prowler too if that's OK?

WILDBILLandRED · 01-07-2010, 11:03 AM

Hey 838Stingray,

Glad to have you along.

It seems there are a lot of SSR/Prowler owners.
No problem brining the family. Im sure there will be more from the Prowler group that will join in.
I noticed the Rs have been sharing events with them more and more lately.

Keep up with the original post for updates,.. Im adding another event for folks coming from a distance.

Take Care

WILDBILLandRED · 01-08-2010, 08:32 AM

Hi Jeff and Brenda,

We missed cruzin with you guys too.
This year we plan to get back to enjoying life and spend more time with good folks like you.

If you need any help putting together the Cape Cod Run,.. Let me know.

Good to hear from you again!

Take Care

Wild Bill

Ripshift · 01-16-2010, 03:25 PM

Hello, Jeanne and I are in for the parade. we can drive out or if you still have room we could bring our custom 1966 Serro Scotty Sportsman 13' camper just for fun it looks good behind the SSR. We will have to get together and talk about it

WILDBILLandRED · 01-18-2010, 06:03 AM

Yellow SSR 6spd,

My yard is big enough to handle a half dozzen SSRs with small trailors.
You are certainly welcome.

I will keep the post updated.

Take Care

Wild Bill

Cash · 01-18-2010, 12:18 PM

Thanks WildBill. Just enjoyed your tours!

WILDBILLandRED · 01-18-2010, 01:21 PM

Thanks Cash,

My wife, Red, built the website. I think she did a great job too.
We had a lot of fun with our fellow fanatics in 07-08,.. but I was H.O.G. tied for the past year so we missed out on 09...

This year we will add to the site.

Wild Bill & Red

CQQL_SSR · 01-18-2010, 04:52 PM

Hi Wild Bill & Red,
How is married life treating you?
I see you are on the list for Maggie Valley.
I will be able to make it on the 4th. It looks like it will be fun.

Charlie

WILDBILLandRED · 01-19-2010, 05:36 AM

Hia Charlie,

Married life isnt much different except Cori gets to go to heven now that we arent "living in sin" ...

As far as me,... theyll never let me in..

....

We would like to make Maggie Valley.... so far so good.

Hope to see you on the 4th, we'll put you right up front
... Ill put you down as a "maybe"

Either way ... we'll see you soon

Wild Bill

Dicktator · 01-19-2010, 05:55 AM

Add the "Dicktator" to your list! I am planning on coming to NE and want to be in the BIG parade.

I will have Dash Plaques made for the group. I'll get Jeffanatic to design something for the Event.

How many Plaques should I make??

poppa · 01-19-2010, 06:50 AM

Hey Bill
Charlie just showed me this thread. I go to PA every May to visit with my daughter so I will see you guys in Maggie Valley for sure. The Berkshires in July? That might be hard, but I'd like to go, better put me down as a maybe??
poppa

Dicktator · 01-19-2010, 07:02 AM

Dan, You can go, you are retired just like me.

We could have a lot of fun in NE together. Let see what we can do.

Got to make the Parade an SSR Parade!

Dicktator

woofman · 01-19-2010, 07:19 AM

Hey Wild Bill& Red!!
Not sure yet if i can come out for the parade,but I"m going to try.As we live on a lake the family is usually here for a picnic. Missed having you guys around last year!!
Put me down as a maybe.........................Carl

Dicktator · 01-19-2010, 08:23 AM

Wolfman, Had a great time in the Keys, now I am coming your way!! We will get together when I am up there.
Try to make the Parade, should be fun.
Dicktator

WILDBILLandRED · 01-19-2010, 08:40 AM

Poppa Dan,.. Great to hear from you!
The first thing Red asked about the SSR parade arrangement was "Is Poppa Dan Coming?"
Ill put you down as a maybe,.. but I wont say anyting to Red until your sure.
Im going to start another list for camper/tents, we may just fill our yard..

.... But it couldnt have a better class of people

Dicktator,... Thats Great News! Glad you can make it !
Bonus about the dash plaques! As you see by the slow-but-steady growth, I cant tell just how many will come... It is open to the national SSR fanatics (not just NE). We can put a "sign up by ? date to get a dash plaque"... This way your not left hanging.... Sound Good?

Carl,.. Great to hear from you too,.. Looks like our NE gang is waking up from the mid winter thaw.....

It will be great to see you again... WOOF WOOF

Wild Bill

Quest · 01-20-2010, 07:55 AM

Would have loved to come, but we're committed to the Colorado meet. See you in Maggie Valley!

FMP · 01-20-2010, 09:54 AM

Wild Bill,

I am a Pittsfield native and actually rode in that parade about 20 years ago in my late fathers 53 Nash. It was a blast and I would love to attend this year but unfortunately we will be in NY that weekend attending my sons baseball tournament. I will ask my brother and his son if they are interested in taking my SSR & Prowler (if that's acceptable) to the parade. BTW, he has the old 53 Nash (and a 36 Nash) that my dad restored but he does not like to drive them quite that far.

Frank

WILDBILLandRED · 01-20-2010, 02:06 PM

Ralph and Ruth,

No problem about making it to the parade,.. Im sure we will see you in Maggie Valley....
The "WildBill" that signed up is a different one. Our name isnt on the list quite yet.

Colorodo seems like a big turn out... Im not sure the parade committee will allow 100 Rs...LOL

See you real soon

Wild Bill

WILDBILLandRED · 01-20-2010, 02:08 PM

Hello Frank,

Sorry to hear you cant make it,.. If someone wants to run the "R" in the parade, they are certainly welcome,.,. We will have at least one Prowler joining us,.. you are welcome to bring that too.

If you change your mind about the Nash,.. the parade will have a classic car section.

See you on the raod

Wild Bill

Wild Bill

When I looked at the Maggie Valley list I thought you were on it also.

Gina put down wldBill as WildBill Red WI.

The red is the color of his SSR.

WILDBILLandRED · 01-22-2010, 05:18 AM

I know,.. who would have thought theres another "Wild Bill" with a red SSR ???

Guess he should have checked the patent department before he chose his name.

WILDBILLandRED · 01-29-2010, 05:17 AM

Our request for an SSR segment is up for review next week,..

The committee will check out our web site to see what we are about.

Have Fun

Wild Bill

Dicktator · 01-29-2010, 06:11 AM

Wild Bill, Let me know as soon as you get the word. I am planning my trip to New England, which includes the Parade and maybe a Tech Day, if everyone is interested.
Dicktator

quick silver · 01-29-2010, 12:17 PM

I Think A Tech Day Added Would Be Great.

Johnny B · 01-30-2010, 06:21 AM

RED,
Just chedked out your Berkshire Run pic's & didn't see any Ultra Violet SSR's.
I will really try to get up there for the Pittsfield Parade.

Dicktator · 01-30-2010, 09:18 AM

If anyone would like Muth Mirrors or soundproofing, this would be the time.
I do mirror/soundproofing install for FREE for SSR owners.
PM me if you would be interested.

Pictures:
1. Muth Directional Mirror
2. Muth Directional Mirror
3. Roof Soundproofing.
4. Reason for roof soundproofing, roof up, hole behind each seat, allowing road noise into cab.
