ABATE of Arizona Chapter Report - Yavapai The plan was that I would devote most of this report to our May 3rd Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Fair. Alas, I had an extreme case of automatic writing, that's the act of writing in an altered state of consciousness to allow the ghost of a deceased person to formulate the script. I believe John Belushi took over, bless his soul, which resulted in the rough draft being way too long and instead morphing into its own article. You can read all about it in this issue of The Masterlink. Belushi actually did quite well. Lucky you, this report will be brief. If you believe that you probably believe Clinton is the next Pres. Yesterday, Mother's Day was our May General Meeting. We weren't very hopeful that people would attend a meeting instead of taking their moms and wives out for a champagne brunch. Well, screw the moms and the old ladies, our loyal members did show up. I believe it's because we make freedom fighting for motorcycle rights stimulating as well as fun. Instead of just sitting around being pissed off, we still do that too of course; we also laugh our heads off in between the serious stuff, a good balance. We even signed up three new members they were having such a good time. Welcome to our Yavapai Chapter family "Scary" Larry our next-door neighbor (yeah Shadow Mountain Chapter we wrangled Larry right from under you), and Verde Valley M.M.A. and Yavapai H.O.G Chapter members Kitty and John McDowell. Thanks Larry, Kitty and John for your memberships, as I've said before there is power in numbers. Also want to thank M.M.A District Manager and A.B.A.T.E. Yavapai Chapter member Mike Ruddell for supporting our meetings. We'll be seeing you at your next meeting in return. Sorry for being redundant, but here's a reminder once again regarding two up and coming runs. June 7th is The Southwest Ride for Hope. This is a worthwhile charity run for children with cancer that Yavapai Chapter is supporting. The start location is The Pinon Pines in Prescott at 8:00am. The ride is to Drifter's in Peeples Valley and back to The Pines. The cost is $15.00 for the rider and $5.00 for the passenger an additional $5.00 will get you B.B.Q. There will be another group coming from the Phoenix area that will join up with us at Drifter's. Free patches will be given to all riders. Run number two is our chapter's 6th Annual Steak Fry on Saturday July 5th. This is a ride to eat. Sign in at Billy Jack's, 2555 Hwy 69 in Humboldt, 928-632-8696 from 9:00-10.00am. Join us for a 5 Card Poker Run and sizzling steak dinner later at The Pinon Pines in Prescott. 928-445-9935. Maps will be available with the cost of $20.00 per person, which includes Poker Run and steak dinner. This run will be a High and Low hand along with a Grand Prize Raffle of a body lift kit for your truck or jeep valued at $652.00 generously donated by Performance Automotive Group. That’s not all, more raffles, door prizes, 50/50 and I'm sure live music for your entertainment. FMI call: Ross 928-925-4204 or Don 928-308-0927 Before I close, I gotta try to keep this short, to late it’s already longer than I planned. Yikes! Does this mean Clinton will be President? Anyway I can’t leave you without saying a little something about Al and Cal my two favorite curmudgeons. Damn I shouldn't have said that. I ran it by Al and Cal if I could use that word to describe them. Al being the younger of the two wasn’t sure what it meant, but Cal did, he thought it was the definition for "old farts". So to honor their wishes I won't call them curmudgeons again, guess "old farts" will just have to do. Until next time, |
