Another Way to Support Ned

Inmate RhodeHazard created that awesome artistic print of Ned that was posted a few days ago, and has made it available for purchase -- $10 of each print ($14) will go straight to support Ned's Neduro to Dakar Fund.



(Original photo by Andre Chaco of Webventure)
8x10" Prints are available for purchase at Ernie's site, http://www.motorbikeartist.com/


Scroll down one frame and "add to cart". Put some fuel in Ned's tank, and get an awesome bit of memorabilia to put on the wall. Bring it for Ned to sign when he does a presentation near you.


Thank You, Ernie!

But now back to our regular scheduled program where our man Scott is now rubbing his head wondering how much crap he's gonna hear from the non-believers tomorrow.

So, I know this thread isn't about politics and all, but is anybody else writing Neduro in on their 2012 presidential election ballot this year?

What a Day!

What a banner day it has been for NED and all of us NEDHEADS!

OUTSTANDING!

From finishing another stage and having it in the books, to riding the extreme terrain, to Ned's "Dakar Moment", to cartwheelin' down the hill, to the open and heartfelt Rally RAIDio call in,................................ just when I thought it couldn't get much better than it's been for the last week and a half...................and we get today. Holy Cow!

Thanks Ned! Atta Boy! Making us proud.

I'm sure that Ned would approve of you posting it... I imagine that he's got a similar story in his head, and hopefully, after he reaches the finish line and eventually gets back to the states... we can hear his story too.

thanks for putting to words what most of us have thought / felt at one point or another.

Hey, I saw this pic on the Cliff Notes thread and it sure sounds like the hill the Ned rode/rolled down today. Note that these guys are walking their bikes.

Look how far these guys are leaning back with the bikes. That picture does not do justice for how steep that hill is....yikes.
