Extra Credit Assignment Ride- Oct 26
Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2016 1:33 pm
This may be a bit too far away, or a bit too early, for anyone other than the South Central folks, but I thought I'd post it in case there's some interest in the other groups.
No, not a book report, but it is book related. Richard Kurtz's daughter-in-law teaches first grade in Ponca City, Oklahoma. Her students have been reading The Mouse and the Motorcycle recently. She's prevailed upon her father-in-law to show up at school on Wednesday, October 26, to talk about motorcycles and give the kids a close-up look at a real machine. Richard's planning to take his Ural sidecar rig, but would like to have some additional examples for the kids to examine. Due to safety concerns, the school won't allow the kids to ride, but we can let them sit on the bikes.
If you're interested, we'll meet in the parking lot at the Woodland Elementary School, 2005 E. Woodland Road, at 8:00 AM. The school is east of Highway 77; take East Hartford Road east off of Highway 77 to Woodland. Our South Central lunch ride in Blackwell, Oklahoma, this week. We'll be finished at the school in plenty of time for the half hour ride to Prairie Smoke BBQ.
All this makes for an early start to Wednesday's ride, but it's for a good cause. We can help keep Richard in his daughter-in-law's good graces, and show some little kids that normal (well, as normal as we are) people ride motorcycles.
