    Depends!

    1. There are times I ride with the club: The first Sunday of each month is our Breakfast Ride and the third Saturday of each month is our Chapter Ride. In February of each year we get volunteers for ride leaders for all of our rides. Each ride leader is responsible for setting the route and destination.

    2. There are plenty times I just throw my leg over the bike and take off with no plan in mind. I ride until I feel I need to turn around and go home. These sorts of rides are usua

    Aahhhh, Munchkin.  You continually show us why you are such a great leader of men.  Your faith in a project is to be commended.  I apologise for my tardy responses over the last week but my computer picked up a virus on Sunday last, and I didn't get it fixed until Wednesday night.  Sadly I picked up a virus on Saturday last which I am still being isolated for.  That's correct, isolated.  The illness is that which originated in the Home land of one, tequila laced, Cehszar.&nb

    The roughest and meanest gang of Texas outlaw bikers were partying hard one night beside a cattle ranch.  After downing several fifths of Jack Daniels the tough talk began and a few fights broke out among the brethren and they got louder and more obnoxious.

     

    Up at the ranch house the owner decided he had listened to enough and went down the hill to confront the bikers, despite his wife’s pleas that he stay inside with the doors locked.

     

    When the wiry little rancher stepped into the light of the bonfire and demanded the fifteen bikers leave, they laughed in his face and started to rough him up a bit for fun.

     

    “You think you’re a tough bunch, don’t you?” said the rancher.  “Well, there is not one of you who could survive a night alone in this pasture without your guns and knives and liquor.”

     

    Totally incensed the gang all said that any and all of them could do that naked and tied to a fence post, no less.

     

    Well, the rancher took them up on their boast, and he even bet them that for every one who survived the night he would give them his beautiful teenage daughter for a night of carnal pleasures.

     

    In just a moment every one of the bikers was naked at the day he was born.  The rancher led them into the pasture and carefully and skillfully tied each one tightly to a fence post.  The rancher then went home, lit his pipe and sat on his front porch listening.

     

    After an hour or so he heard loud moans coming from the pasture as the bonfire died out.  Soon the moans were followed by shouts of fear, then screams and finally pitiful pleadings which died out near down.

     

    When it was full light the rancher strolled down to the fence row.  There, still tied firmly to the posts were all fifteen naked bikers, but fourteen of them were dead.  Those big, burly, hairy men were now mere husks – shriveled and drained they looked as if every ounce of fluid was gone from their bodies, and there was not a mark on any of them.

     

    The rancher nodded solemnly and knowingly as he passed each one.  Finally he came to the pack leader at the last post.  The man was barely alive.  The rancher bent over to look the biker in the face.

     

    Opening his eyes in pain the biker gasped out with his last breath, “Don’t them calves got no mommas?”

• John & Mary's Big Adventure: C

  • From: manybikes
  • Description:

    Friday June 10th, 2009

    Click here to read about their San Diego trip with Mike and the June 9th Ride North.

    It was Friday morning about 4am when I rose to shower and load the bike for a fun day with John (Bikinjb) and his wife Mary. The plan was to meet John and his wife in Marina, CA just north of Monterey for a tour over some of the Bay Area of California's most scenic and visually diverse roads. I hit the road about 5am and headed towards Marina. 

    About 7:30am I arrived pulled into the Hotel parking lot in Marina, California where I saw John's Vstar 1300 parked along side Mary's Vstar 650 loaded and ready to go. I suppose the sound of my VTX awaked them in the lobby as they met me at the front door. After a brief introduction and a little familiarization, we hit the Pacific Coast Highway and headed north...

     Our first stop was just 30 miles north in the town of Aptos - home of Karmahappens. After a little chat in the living room, we headed to the beach where we at breakfast in the sunshine at the Pixie Deli. As I sat down to eat... I sat on my camera and CRACKED the screen, rendering the camera useless. Not a fun way to start the day, but the breakfast burritos were fabulous and helped to ease the pain.

    Following breakfast, we mounted our steeds and headed to to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

    The boardwalk is an icon mentioned in many many songs of the past... and will continue to be a topic of discussion as long as it exists. We rode to the end of the pier and had the pleasure to hang out with a bunch of Sea Lions who made both John and Mary laugh. After some time on the pier, we rode through downtown Santa Cruz and then headed north on Highway 9 into the Redwoods. 

    Highway 9 is one of the northern California "destination roads" that bikers from all over the world come to ride.  I played leapfrog with John and Mary as we rode... getting photos from all angles. 

    

    Here on the left John is powering through one of the many 25 mph or slower corners which make these roads so much fun on a motorcycle.  

    On the right, Mary throttles up her 650, keeping pace with John as he enjoys the view, smells, and roads of the California Coast.

    At one point, John stopped to take some photos and to change gear and when I looked back all I could see was a HUGE SMILE on the face of Mary! As I approached with camera in hand, Mary exclaimed, "This is amazing! Kyle, I can not get the smile off my face as I ride these beautiful roads, through these beautiful mountains with Redwoods which smell soooooo good!"

    After a short break, we made our way up to Skyline Blvd and over to Alice's Restaurant for some motorcycle eye candy and a snack.  Read here from more info on Alice's Restaurant the Motorcycle Mecca.

    Decision time... Ride the coast from Half Moon Bay to Pacifica... or over the bay to Cruiser Customizing?  Seeing the fog rolling in off the pacific ocean and up into the hills... we opted for the second...

    Little did I know Mary has a HUGE fear of Bridges... and I must say she did GREAT crossing the windy San Francisco Bay on Highway 92. 

    Once across the bay we headed south on I-880 and then east on Highway 84 and over to Cruiser Customizing. We arrived to the shop about 4:45pm where we took a tour. 

    Following the tour of Cruiser Customizing, we headed to Tracers place where we put the bikes to rest, cleaned up, and then went out for dinner. As per Tracy's suggestion, we ended up at an elegant Italian restaurant for an evening filled with great food and delightful conversation.

    In the morning, John and Mary packed their bikes, and headed off on the next leg of their their Big Adventure. 

    John and Mary, thank you for allowing me your time while out on your Anniversary Ride.  My day with you two was fabulous and I must request we do it again sometime in the near future. It was a great time!

    Kyle 

    ps: John and Mary have made it safely home to Colorado. I am looking forward to the many photos and stories to be posted soon...
