At this point, it looks like I have to work too.  They don't want to pay any overtime to cover for my absence. 

[Munchkin & Slim]

We will not be going to Mankato that is not in the budget at this time, the long trips except Galina is going to be pretty local for us.  I will be out of a job May 31st.
We will be going to Mud Slides on Saturday that is a hop skip and a jump from the house, have fun be safe and see you on the 14th.

It looks like we'll finally have some decent weather to ride down there!

[Pat Calkins "Corn Dog"]

I won't be able to attend the ride down to Starr Cycle,     but I encourage all chapters and all members and guests to ride down there in support of a new dealership for STAR.  

We hear that a couple of guys down there in the Mankato area want to start a STAR chapter in Mankato.  Showing our support would be beneficial to them and to anyone in that area for STAR.  Let's show Mankato how strong our Chapters are here in MN.  

Have fun and ride safe.  

Follow the information at the top of this page for directions on where to meet.  If not, just meet down at the "Happy Chef" just on the North side of Mankato on Hwy 169.  Thanks Jimbo for leading this ride.

Cliff, I also talked to Eagle Bob this evening and he will be meeting us at the station rain or shine, I will be riding rain or shine but hope it shines more then it rains  and if it does rain OH WELL its just water and it will not be the first time i have rode in it, but I will not cancel this time, Everyone must use their own judgment on weather to ride if its raining and if you do not come on your bike come in your car, hope to see some of you at the meeting place in the morning.

Alright Jimbo, its been a few months since I've ridden in the rain with you but I will see you tomorrow at the Holiday station - rain or shine!

[Pat Calkins "Corn Dog"]

That's it boys and girls, don't let a little wet stuff scare you off.   

I wish I could ride with you.  It is suppose to maybe be a little wet early on, but the rest of the day looks grand.  Ride safe and say hi to everybody for me. 

Gooooooooooooooooo  444

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys on bikes! Way to go! 

[JIMBO]

Way to go Alan, It will be like last year through Canada , we sure did have our share of rain , looking forward to the ride with all of you   , We will miss you Pat. 

[Cliff]

Like you said Jimbo it is just water and it looks like we should be ready for one of those years. I do not mind riding in the rain as long as the hail stays away. That stuff hurts! See you soon.

I want to say THANK YOU to everyone for a Great Day of riding, You do not know how much this means to me to have all of you show up to welcome Starr Cycle to the group of Dealers here in Minnesota. I was really amazed by all the people that showed up today. The food was good, everyone looked like they were having fun. I know John and his employee's all had BIG smiles on there faces when we showed up. Plus you could not ask for better weather (weather man wrong again). I was also glad to see a few faces that I have not seen for awhile, and also some new ones  I hope we have a really Great Riding Season again this year, Plus a few people from Mankato showed up that were really interested in joining Star, now that they seen what we are all about first hand. I know we should have a good chance of starting a Chapter their.
                                    Thanks again
                                          ( Tommy )
P.S. Oh by the way, if some of you are wondering?  I did stop on the way back home and had a Hot Dog at a gas station when we stopped for gas. What can I say I Like Hot Dogs.
