It was advised that the owners of Street Stuff Cycle could not make
tonight’s meeting and that they plan to attend next week’s meeting. Street
Stuff Cycle, located in Norwich, is a Triumph Dealer and a former Big Dog dealer. http://www.streetstuffcycle.com/
The Town of Montville rejected the club’s application for Tax
Exempt Status. The club is once again appealing this decision.
The Springfield Motorcycle Show is this weekend. President, Jim
Moran, is planning on going up on Sunday. Please contact him before Sunday if
you would like to join him. http://www.osegmotorcycle.com/
I have never attended this show but I’ve been told by one source to expect a
lot of custom bikes but not many vendors. Meanwhile, another source has told me
just the opposite. I guess I’ll have to go and see for myself.
I know Jason will be sorry to miss the World Series Motorcycle
known as “The Curse Breaker”. It will be on display at the Shark Motorcycles
booth on Saturday. http://www.osegmotorcycle.com/html/shark_cycle.html
The Patriot Guard has invited us to join in their flag line in
the Honor and Remember Flag Presentation for the parents of SSgt Edwin Rivera.
Staff Sergeant Edwin Rivera was a NLMC Prospect when he passed away due to
wounds sustained in combat. Contact Vice President, Dan Dunn or Treasurer, Paul
Neves if you plan to go. They may plan to meet prior to the event or just show
up early to the event which is being held indoors.

George Booker will be moving his worldly possessions to his new
house on Saturday and can use a hand or two or more. The sooner he gets settled, the sooner he can get to work on his bike. We missed him quite a bit this past season.
As part of the The Middlesex County report Vinny Yanonne advised
us of a remedy for arthritis. He wasn’t very specific, but said you can find
the details on the internet. http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/04/11/gin-soaked-raisins-alleviate-pain/
Basically take “Golden Raisins” and soak them in “Gordon’s
Gin” for a specified amount of time. A chemical reaction takes place giving the
raisins healing properties. There were suggestions that those afflicted should
drink the gin, but Vinny insisted that only the soaked raisins were necessary
and that you would not get drunk. He turned to Jon Kataisto for proof of its
effectiveness. Jon admitted giving it a try and having success, but advised that he lapsed in his treatment and his aches and pains returned.
The Road Captain advised there will be no ride this Sunday since
he must work, it will be cold and there may even be some snow. Of course if the
weather is good, you may find a member or two to ride with at the usual meeting
place, Dunkin Donuts on Rt. 32 in Uncasville.
Do you suffer from the same affliction that I do? Kind of like Pavlov's Dog with the bell, every time I pass a Dunkin Donuts I get the strong urge to ride with my friends.
Website Manager, Tom Miskell, is looking for club photos to add
to our website. I’ll be giving him my collection. Please be sure to get in
touch with Tom to see how you can share yours as well.
There was discussion of Winter Riding Apparel including heated
gear and snow mobile gear. Many of the heated gear owners expressed their
satisfaction with the products. Tom Lloret advised that if the lights on the
Gerbring control unit are not steady, simply shut all controls off and then
turn them on again. This should result in steady lights and heat generation.
Joe Fogarty advised that snowmobile gear he’s bought from Cabela’s is quite
warm and quite a bit less money than motorcycle gear.
The winner of the first of two Harley Davidson signs, donated by
Mark Beebe and being raffled off for the benefit of the club was Gary
Dobrinski. I don’t know how much money this generated for the club. There was a
flurry of last minute ticket sales before the drawing and I think I heard Mark
say something about Twin Rivers?

47.22 Euro's, or 5027.34 Algerian Dinars, It may have been 442.24 Bolivian Bolivianos or perhaps 6677.12 Japanese Yen. Of course it was none of these was it, the exact amount taken in was 235.07 united Arab Emerites Dirham. 176.30 last week and 58.77 last night.
ReplyDeleteSo that'd be US$64.00
ReplyDeleteJust fyi, the winner thursday night of the second sign was Jason Moran. For a $30.00 investment ($15.00ea), we made $68.00 the first night and $40.00 the second.
