Dutch,

Any bike looks better with a 20-year old blonde chick with unresolved father issues.

Tru Dat.

Yup. Someone said to me that we are not a 'real' motorcycle association until we have a facebook page. Now we have one. Oh...we are NOT associated in any way with SMDC. Really.

Our association has no officers, but if we did the founding four would be:
Dickator for Life: "Borg"
SGT @ Arms: "Thorwald"
Road Capt [rear detatchment]: "Scooter"
Tail Gunner: "Short Round"
...
We have no mandatory meetings, but if we did there would be a mandatory HooterBurger Monday Meet at 11.30 at the Citadel.

We have no bylaws, but if we did the first one would be : No Quibbling

We really have no clue.See More

395 miles from Colorado Springs to the Western Edge of the Sandhills of Nebraska. Quite a ride.

There wasn't enough hot water in the hotel to make my tush feel better after riding a horse through the pinepple fields for 2.5 hours....   :bawl:

1000+ miles on the backend of a motorcycle and I would be in traction for 6 months!!! :o :o :o
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

It was 384.6 miles door to door. Then I rode another 90+ miles around Nebraska.

I have learned a couple of things.

Pack light (as you see)
Back support (moved the pack to the passenger seat to give me some)
Dress in layers (65 mph in 60* weather is still GD cold)

The seat is very comfortable but I need my bars moved back about 2 inches. I will put 4 inch risers on the tree, and that should bring them back enough not to put strain on my neck.

Next weekend (4-5 June) is a short 280+ mile ride to Taos.

Sturgis, LOTS of pictures. Please.

The SMDC-MA (see facebook) is our unit's unofficial Motorcycle group. We are sending one of our members to Alaska on his bike, linked into a GPS tracking system starting today. We will be uploading messages from him as the 3000+ one way ride continues from Colorado Springs to Fairbanks and then on to the Artic Circle.

I would suggest if you have info for John on places to visit or just words of support, visit the site and message him.
