You have hopefully had a bunch of what I call "rocking chair moments". Moments made by a combination of being in the right place with the right folks at a time when everyone was hitting on all six cylinders.
You might not even realize you are showing as you relive the memory of such a moment in living color until you are caught with a big ole grin on your kisser by someone close to you. There will be some such experiences you wouldn't even try to share at the risk of cheapening the moment. There will be other memories that you will have shared so many times with your buds that they stop you before they have to endure the telling for the umpteenth time.
For many of you, this note already falls into the latter of the above categories. Those of you that have shared in the Celebration of Life at a
Ride For Kids know where this is going. You have the experience etched into your brain pan. You surely laughed and probably worked at holding back a tear as the kids, our Stars, share a little of the hand they have been dealt. Whether this in your first Ride For Kids or you are an old hand please realize that you are the most important link these kids have to a healthy future. Twenty five years of motorcyclist stepping up and putting their money on that registration table has a rolling momentum I invite you to share - a week from tomorrow, Sunday October 5th in Grapevine, Texas. Register to ride at the event from 8-9:45. KSU at 10am sharp.
Out of towners couldn't have a better reason to ride. The weather is going to be perfect. Accommodations at the
host hotelare discounted about seventy bucks a night. If you would like to help with the ride, we have a Volunteer Training Thursday evening at 8pm, or even better for you visitors is the Saturday training at 2pm. And, because the DFW Valk club was the top fundraising club last year, you are more than welcome to ride up front with the Stars. Yes, you may volunteer and do the ride too. Contact me if you would like more details. Can't make the ride -
send your money!Create your own rocking chair moment and ride out a few lumps in your throat. We will have more than motorcycling in common. The kids will thank you in person. ~Jeff
