photos from weekend and day 1

 

Chloe and her mother are visiting needles from Wisconsin. The lady standing is the person they were visiting. My memory is getting bad. Going to have to get a book to write names down.

This is Amber and Patricia, they came to see us roll out.  I told them that we might get a fly by. We usually do, but weather prevented it.

Chloe sent a comment, it was very nice, but it has been a while since Ive added comments. Will have to figure out how to do that.  Thank you Chloe.    

Tonight I will rewrite the story of how good old Clyde got his name.  Wish I could find someone in Texas to fix and tune his carbs.  Big Red is in the shop here in Gallup getting Clutch fluid changed, it boiled in a parade today.

UPDATES ON MONDAY TUESDAY AND TODAY

        First I want to to say that there are 2 stories I thought were here and I can't find.  They are how I got my Road Name of Bounce and how I named my 2004 Royal Star Venture Clyde.   I will rewrite them tomorrow.

Today was great.  I am in Platoon 1. It has awesome Leadership and some very expierenced riders.  I am probably the least experienced  one in the Platoon.  This morning I did my first ever U Turn without stopping of or putting my foot down. It was great.  Then at the first fuel stop I pulled an Arty Johnson manuever. In other words I dropped my bike.  No damage to bike or rider,  except for pride.

Before the Ceremonies I met two Ladies, possibly a mother and daughter there to see us off.  Amber and Patricia.....Then at Ludlow I met a group of folks that came out to watch us.  Then at Lunch in Needles I met nother Mother and daughter,  who were there visiting a relative, They were from Wisconsin.  I am sorry I didnt get these folks names, but They might comment.'

I will update this with picture from today later

Safely in Williams.

Bike ready to go and I got a shower.  Now Im going to sleep. Early morning.  First 50/50 raffle.  should be a great crowd.  I am helping sell tickets. I wil buy one and hope I win

Monday, Registration meetings andtraining on the Bike

 Today is a busy day. Some folks have to be in 3 places at once.  I wonder who had the brilliant Idea to put registration 4 miles from the hotels.  It's okay but it sure was a lot easier when things were consolidated.  OK last complaint.

I have met tons of very nice people, some are old friends and others are new friends.  this will be short, update tonight with pictures.
