Bikes at Yosa. Lots of talking especially with Skip about his 1100 and Gerard!

Tom Byrd got some great shots on the road!              Looks like a perfect formation, all 8 bikes!

Everyone did great on the ride!

Just arrived at the car museum.

   We parked in 2 groups.                                        You can see all 10 and the car in this one!

        Rare Hudson looked mint!                   The cars were absolutely amazing. Something for everyone!

They even had a few motorcycles! I think every museum has to have a Harley and an Indian!

Row after row of cars from every age!

Skip Surre                                                                Mike Guerra

Most of the group at the Chisolm Trail!                 Didn't want Joan Custer to think she got left out!

Great food, great company and even a great meeting!

1 August Friday Night Ride

12 of us on three bikes and 4 cars headed out to Bay Seas. Good food and good company as always! I think we may have overwhelmed the wait staff though!

            Waiting for our tables.                                          Nice to have Charlie & Candy back!

I think it may have been tough for the other tables with us talking through them!
