Now, for the photo ops! I apologize for not posting any motorcycles, again I confess of having to much...

Re: APRIL 8TH, BREAKFAST / LUNCH, 9:30 AM, HILLTOP MARKET, EASTON, KS

What a pleasant day to ride, all but for the 40 mile an hour wind gusts, it still was a pleasurable ride. There were 19 bikes and didn’t count the 4 wheelers. While visiting today I was told of some bad news. Jerry Berg (better known as “LOUD”) was involved in a bad accident last Tuesday on his Bik...

Well, looky here at Dakota, one of our charming “MASCOTS,” getting ready for the St. Patty’s Day parade! She is a pro at putting on a show for everyone. She is as photogenetic as can be and bursting with charisma! The day was cold and damp and “Narie” a single 2-wheeler. But nevertheless, it didn’t...

Some of us may not even remember this place, for it’s been a long time since we were here last. I chose Annie’s Place for our next ride because the weatherman says it’s going to be in the 60’s pushing 70. But then I'm reminded of Mick Herman's take about a weather forecast, and I quote: " Weat...

The weather has been in our favor and nothing to complain about when it comes to enjoying a good destination ride.

We had a good crowd yesterday, my last count was 30 and that my guess is pushing towards 40. Enjoy the photos that help to show us how the day unfolded.
