Speedy,
  As usual you are correct and I am Honored to have you as a Friend.  You are a True and Proven Champion and I think you help everyone around you set their standards a little higher.  Here is how I answer your Mind over Matter.  Thanks for your words of Wisdom.

WHEN YOU HAVE TALKED YOURSELF INTO WHAT YOU WANT, STOP TALKING AND BEGIN SAYING IT WITH YOUR ACTIONS.
 
Persuading yourself that you can do something is a strong beginning. Next develop a sound plan and get into action. The longer you delay, the harder it will be to begin. Seldom is a plan perfect. If you have a clear vision of your goal and a plan that is flexible enough to allow you to deal with unexpected obstacles or take advantage of unforeseen opportunities, don't delay another minute. Just getting into action-even if you do have to make adjustments later-will help focus your mind and channel your energies in the direction of your objective.

Brother Ron...Your words are inspiring! I printed them out and clipped them to my refrigerator door so that I can read them daily. I've got some personal goals that I need to address and I'm sure these words will guide me to success


Thank you

Thanks Steve, but I will always remember the wise words of my Great Friend Doug Wilford...."words are just words until you put them into action".  
  I will never forget one early morning at a Reunion Ride, Doug and I were watching the people test their bikes getting ready for day one.  I saw a nice 125 Six Day and was explaining to Doug how this guy really loved the bike and had got a Gold on his first ride after not competing for 30 years.  Doug's comment..."If he a good Friend tell him to put the packing back around the muffler."  I did and the person was very appreciative and it did help the horsepower.  

Moral: No one knows everything, but some know a lot more than others..I think it is called Experience and you can't buy it.

Hey Texas- hope you're feeling better. With winter on the way and a "forced" vacation looming,I'm sure I'll be needing some guidance. I also think I need a few wardrobe tips, cuz I'm not looking as sharp as I could. I wonder how those shorts would look with long underwear!

Just an update since I get emails asking where I am at on my Radiation Treatment.  I am doing well and have two more weeks of treatment before they finish that phase.  I appreciate the thoughts and Prayers.  It is amazing the great emails and calls I have received and I know that people have their own problems to deal with daily.
