Mom and dad were working on the road and living in a 5th wheel for a few years. one night they are staying in a KOA type place when a 100 bikers come rolling in. Dad has worked and managed construction crews and tower crews his whole life so rough looking people are nothing new but He said this was one really hard core looking bunch. Color and batches on all of them. Scar's and tats everywhere. They set up camp and the drinks come out and then a radio and then they brake out into song.... Well Hymns mostly.. and the drinks where all soda. They were a club based on drug and alcohol addiction recover thru the church. Bikers for Jesus.. .. meanest looking bunch of nice guys dad has ever seen. They talked to every camper in the place to make sure they were not to load or annoying. _________________ Thomas J Elliott

Tom, That was a great story.
I don't know if you are old enough to remember this but there used to be an advertising campaign song, " You meet the nicest people on a Honda."
I think it was for the Honda 90, and not the one that hangs on the back of tons of C-Dorys

Back again, and this time with a link to the MC rider website that goes directly to the U Tube video library. There are 30 some videos here, most in the 5 - 10 minute range, covering specifics like "Counter steer" or "Emergency Braking".
Here is the link:
http://www.mcrider.com/mcrider-motorcycle-classes-archives/
Enjoy and ride safe.
Anyone have input on any MC riding classes, quality, usefulness, costs, or recommendations.

It's always the Russians who do these kind of dangerous things, Jesus... Anyway, the rider only needs to make one mistake and he could be gone in the blink of an eye. Scary thought... |

Curious if any of the C-BRATS have ever done the "Run For The Wall" ride
https://rftw.us/
in either part or all. This coming year is the 30th anniversary ride. I'm wondering if there are and Brats who might be considering it?
OK, I know it is not boating but the connection comes in that it's dates conflict with the normal Friday Harbor CBGT times.

I have posted this earlier and am bumping it back, I guess in hopes that some may have had some time to ponder.
Still curious if anyone here has or is considering doing this ride. This will be the 30th anniversary ride, and I am considering doing it. I know there are a few riders out there, and a good number of Veterans. What I don't know is how many are one in the same.
Please, PM me if you would rather than post in the thread.

I cant wait for the bike to hit the us market. And I can not wait to see what the after market shops come up with. I have to save up for this one, any one want to sell or buy a house for the cause?? Cause I need the money..
Would like to do a run for the wall but just dont have time like you retires. |

Since we couldn't go to Canada this year, Did anyone do a ride, long short or in the middle? Or have you been staying under the roof and away from the bug?
