What: King Richards Island Crusade (II)
When: Saturday, May 11, 2013, 9:30 AM
Meet At: Point Defiance Ferry to catch the 10:00 AM Crossing
Once again, “King” Richard will be leading a Crusade to take back the island. We will be catching the 10:00 AM ferry sharp and meeting with our illustrious leader at the Tahlequah Ferry dock. As we look for riches, battle with the locals and search for the eternal cup of life, we will likely stop for an adult tipple or two. The end of the day will convene with a local island BBQ hosted by one of the islands own tribal leaders who has also graciously suggested that you bring a tent and sleeping bag so you can camp in private acreage while listening for Robin Hood in the woods…. If men want to wear tights, thats OK….

This Saturday our own John C. will be leading a cultural Museum themed ride. We will be meeting at our usual launch pad haunt, Alfreds, at 10:00 AM for breakfast with an anticipated poot off at 11:00 AM. A couple of museums, including the “Let’s ride! Motorcycling the Northwest” exhibit at the Washington History Museum, will be on the Agenda which will provide opportunities to warm up and if necessary, dry off..!
This is a Firkin ride so there will be a stop for lunch and one or two for liquid libation. Everyone should bring at least $15.00 per person to cover admission fees. Parking maybe free but don’t be surprised if that is an additional cost. The ride is limited to 70cc + as there are some hills en route…
Rain or shine, this ride is on!! Poot Poot…

Yeah, we know, it’s Super Bowl Sunday. But, we’re still having a meeting as the year is already evolving into a very busy one. The TV may be on in the background to effectively distract us. So, come on over and bring your idea’s for the Fireball Patch/branding.. There will be a vote.. As always, new prospective members are always welcome.. Poot Poot..!
Our own resident El Jeffe will be the architect of our fate this Saturday. This ride will require an admission & parking fee to our final stop $15 should cover it. Looks like we won’t have the snow like last year instead we should be blessed with a balmy 46 degree temp & maybe just maybe a little bit of liquid sunshine. Poot Poot..!!
