Somewhere, there is a picture of me on a Blackduck, in Blackduck, Minnesota.
It's fenced in now.

Not on purpose.
They’ve killed a few folks around Seattle.
Still don’t like them.

I rode one in Branson, MO before the accident. After the accidents they were moved to the WI. Dells. They may have already had some in WI Dells but added to them.

Rode.one in Nashville several years ago. Lived to tell about it.
Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

17 died on one in Branson in 2017. Freak storm popped up and it took on big waves.
I’d ridden there in 2016. Yeap , bad decisions by the responsible crew is how I see it personally. Was actually working on the edge of the lake when this happened in Branson or I should say Branson West, Silver Dollar City, Indian point

San Felipe Mexico in 1977. Getting on a crappy old shrimp trawler that was converted into a fishing boat. 18 guys and all their gear. I think we had at least 3" of freeboard.

Yes At the Dells also,, We operated a store there, The Boat Co had control of almost everything. We rented our space from them and they gave us free passes
to all of their attractions. That was before Lake Delton washed out.

Only had one duck ride way back in the summer of 1972. There was a guy running tours around a local bay. Think they were only on weekends and IIRC he only did it that one year. It was interesting and now I can at least say I rode in one of those things. Even cruising around that calm bay way back then I could tell that those things weren't the most sea worthy craft around. Weren't they just made for fording smaller bodies of water and things like amphibious landings? No way would I take one out into a big open water environment like Lake Ontario. Those things wouldn't last long in rough, open water.

![[Linked Image from alastairbols.com]](https://www.alastairbols.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/998-Ducati-998S-BOSTROM-Replica-1-of-1.jpg) I thought it was about Ducatis. I took a friend's Ben Bostrum 998 around for a session at Texas World Speedway. Quite the machine at the track. Transmission like Butter and the Brakes were so nice!
