Hi! My name is TSD, otherwise known as The Stuffed Dude. It is my mission in life to travel the country, and maybe the world, seeking out members of the MIG, otherwise known as the Marauder Intruder Group. They are a bunch of really cool people that ride the Suzuki Marauder and Intruder motorcycles. They have a forum that attracts people from all over the world. You can check out their forum here, or take a peek at the website here. Their mission is to show me a good time, see some local sites, let me ride with them and take lots of pictures with me. Taking care of me is a lot of fun, but a big responsibility, too. My keepers have to make the effort to meet up with other MIGs so I can be passed on to see other places and people. If they don't, I'll be bored and lonely and Boydster will come looking for me.

I was born Friday, June 16th, 2006, when Boydster first found me. I was nothing but a cute Bengal Tiger sock until the lady at Pawsenclaws hooked me up to a stuffing machine. She told Boydster to put a Wishtag inside me and make a wish. He said something silly about me bringing happiness to everyone I meet. What a corn-dog. But still kinda cool. They found me the best riding gear in the store and I was ready to rock. Thanks to all the nice people at Pawsenclaws & Co. at Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover, MD. Good thing they had cool threads and chaps, cause the next day I started on my epic adventure... Maggie Valley, North Carolina, for the annual MIG Reunion.

Saturday afternoon we were ready to go. Boydster invited Reverend Jim, BrianVZ800, DamnRabbit and Custom800 to meet up at his house. Custom800 headed back home while the rest of us hit the road and headed for our first stop, Staunton, Virginia. Can you say Easy Rider? Yeah! I rode on the back of Boydsters blue 2001 Suzuki VZ800 Marauder. It was a great day with new friends. I saw Harpers Ferry, lots of backroads, my first interstate hiway and finally made it to Staunton. There I met Lenny G and his wife, who came down from the Northeast with Long Haired Hippy and Long Island Jim. Tomorrow, Maggie Valley.

Sunday, We all take off together, heading for Maggie Valley. When we got there, I met so many people. MV is a beautiful place, and they say there's lots of great riding to do.

Next day, Monday, 10 bikes take off to run the Cherohala. Boydster, Reverend Jim, Spacer Jim, Frank Mo, Train Wreck, Gouda, DamnRabbit, Hale Yeah, BrianVZ800 and Long Island Jim. We ran the Skyway from North Carolina into Tennessee across some of the nicest scenery and roads I've ever seen. Boydster let me ride his handlebars this time... Yippee!

By now, I'm only 4 days old and I've been to 5 states. Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina. So... we all ride into Etowah, Tennessee and met Boydsters mom, Fran, and had a fantastic lunch. Boydster has had a hard time deciding where I was gonna go when I leave MV. Fran decided it all when she said " I think he should go to Michigan". 'Nuff said!

Well, I had a great time at the MIG reunion in Maggie Valley. On Wednesday, Boydster and Rev Jim went out and bought me a bag and a journal. So on Thursday, I helped Spacer Jim and Train Wreck Steve load up the trailer, throw our junk in the Race Truck and hit the road again. I'm going to Michigan!

I hope all the MIGs I get to meet take care of me and write about the fun things we did in my journal. Don't forget to take lots of pictures of me with your family and in really cool places. Send the pics to my email address and I'll get them on the web for you. Make sure to send good descriptions so I can write them up really nice!
