Spot on weather brought the bikes out for the June "Rave Up" at Archie & Clyde's Restaurant. We had a nice group of vintage motorcycle enthusiast. Don followed up on the DGR confirming we had over $7,000 in donations this year with over 40 participants.
We encouraged folks to bring their bikes out to our Annual Vintage Motorcycle Show on June 13th, 11:00 to 3:00pm at Smitty's Italian Steakhouse on W Franklin St. You don't have to enter your bike in the 1990 and older competition, just share it with an appreciative crowd. Page down to previous posts for details.
We discussed our First Annual Tiddler SLOW Ride on June 20th. (250cc and smaller motorcycles) Look here for more details soon.
Linwood told us about three enthusiasts adventure to a performance riders school at the National Corvette Museum track in Bowling Green, Ky.
Don discussed the annual Memorial Day ride to Washington DC.
Gale introduced us to his new electric bike, his transportation that evening from his home in Newburgh.
Unfortunately no one made it across that Money Saving Bridge?
As always the food and conversion was golden.
Thanks George for the pics.
