This years Chapter Picnic was once again as fun and exciting as the previous years that I have attended and it is one of my personal favorite events. The Road Captains and Officers again worked very hard so the members could have a wonderful time and I want to thank them for their commitment. This content has been moved to Ride it Wrench it.
I was a little late posting this one! Sorry about that. Got behind on posts for a couple weeks. Life can get busy and set other things back sometimes. This content has been moved to Ride it Wrench it.
This weekend was Fort Worth Harley’s annual Water 4 Life Ride. This is the 5th year running for this charity event and my 3rd year participating. Water 4 Life is a program through World Vision that drills clean water wells for villages that have none in Africa. For every person on a bike Fort Worth Harley donated $50.00 to the charity. All you had to do was show up, sign in, and they would donate. This content has been moved…
A few weeks back we took a group ride with our HOG Chapter. We were sitting at home bored, I didn’t have a ride planned, and Margaret wanted to ride. She was pushing me to come up with a destination but I didn’t want to have to think, lead, make decisions on turns or food. Sometimes you just want to ride without taking responsibility for other riders. This content has been moved to Ride it Wrench it.
The annual Wise County Toy Run is a great time to meet other riders and ride for a reason. This year Margaret came along and rode her bike to her first large event. We met up with our HOG Chapter at the dealership for the Chapter ride to the event. I think we had about 50 bikes this year from our Chapter. It was a good turn out even though it was down from last year. Upon arrival in Decatur…
This weekend was super busy for both of us. Again, we had plans to do some work around the house but all of that changed when Margaret got her new grips. I received the call from Fort Worth Harley that her parts had arrived earlier in the week so we went to get them Friday evening. When we got to the dealership they also had the saddlebag guards I had ordered. I started whining a bit to Margaret that Saturday…
The weekend turned out to be far more than I anticipated. Originally our plans were to work around the house on Saturday and participate in our chapters skills day on Sunday. We got up early Saturday morning and the temperature was a nice cool 65 degrees and was only supposed to get up to around 85 for the high. We didn’t want to miss out on the nice weather so we planned a short 248 mile ride to Strawn, TX…
With an event as big as the Fort Worth Harley Davidson Water for Life 2013 ride I figured the extra post would be a good idea. Margaret and I arrived about an hour early to get some pictures and video of the staging area and take part in the poker walk. When we pulled up we were counted as bike number 160. It was early and the bikes were steadily rolling in. This content has been moved to Ride it Wrench…
Wednesday evening the Fort Worth HOG chapter gathered for their 3rd 911 Memorial ride. After a presentation of a banner that had the names of all of the victims of this tragic event, Kim read the timeline of the attacks to recall that horrible day. This set the stage for the beginning of our ride. This content has been moved to Ride it Wrench it.
Every year Harley Davidson does a Million Mile Monday. Launched in 2008, Million Mile Monday has been an annual event on the last Monday of June that brings thousands of Harley-Davidson motorcycle riders together in a collective effort to celebrate the motorcycle riding experience. Outside of having an excuse to take off work on this Monday and ride, nothing really comes from it. Fort Worth Harley Davidson has taken a step to incorporate this ride into part of their year long charity…
