I've got my front row ticket to see RUSH in the UK once again soon - CANT WAIT !!!
Look up Neil's books, if you get chance - I've read two already and really enjoyed his writing style and insights - being a Rush fan is even more of a help as you can see where some song lyric influences were based.

Jim,
I'm glad you enjoyed the report on my ride with Neil. We've stayed in contact ever since, and I finally got to hear "Red Barchetta" live in concert last summer.
I hope you've seen the "Beyond the Lighted Stage" documentary. It's a fascinating look at Rush's history.

Ted,
It was great to see you again, even if only briefly. Tim ("Wired Cur") was there, too.
And you're right, it was a great show, complete with Red Barchetta (not to mention the rest of the entire Moving Pictures album).
Neil, by the way, has a new R1200GS with the overhead-cam engine. It's just had its 1,000-mile service and is being shipped to Europe for the next stage of their tour. Neil has also talked Michael into getting a new GS, which will arrive in 2 weeks. Anybody interested in Michael's 2006 GS with 59,000 miles and in perfect shape?

So Rick - did you get to go say "Hi" to Neil while you where there? Just wondering.
This was my first RUSH show. Quite the overwhelming experience.

Incidentally, he's just come out with a new book, called Far and Away, that's a collection of his website's trip reports, stories, etc. It's really nicely done--he's an excellent writer, as you probably know. Most importantly ( ), the first chapter in the book uses several of my photos.
Great to see you at the show, even if only briefly. And what a show it was!
Rick
