We will then head up to the emerald realm of the mountains to participate in a guerrilla art project which will undoubtedly become part of Tacoma history. The ride will then head back to Diane’s residence where she will graciously feed and water us with Corned Beef and Irish car bombs… The hot tub will be bubbling so bring a towel and swim suit. Crash space available for those that would like to stay overnight..

Tom and Renee’s Annual Caroling Cruise, Sunday, December 18, 2016
Author: ufor360 // Category: Club Rides, General
When: Sunday, December 18, 2016. Meet at 10:00 poot at 11:00 AM
Where: Alfred’s Café, 402 Puyallup Ave, Tacoma, Washington 98421
Per Tom:
“Hey Firkins!
Now that I have recovered from the green gummy bears it’s time to send details of the 3rd Annual “Firkin Caroling Cruise”.
– Sunday, Dec 18th
– Alfred’s at 10:00 for drinks…I mean breakfast.
– Depart for ride at 11:00
– First stop is BMW Mini
– Last stop is Parkway
– More details on itinerary coming
If Sunday brings snow or ice we will still Carol but will do so by car, perhaps with dirt bike escort if any intrepid Firkins feel so inclined (in Minnesota they would drive roofing nails through old tires – from the inside – and race on ice tracks).
I have a van that can carry 5 plus Renee and I. If anyone has a high occupancy vehicle please let me know. If we must carol by car it would be best to stay in a group with as few cars as possible.
Lastly, for now, whoever has the Firkin banner please be sure to bring it. And don’t forget your Firkin Santa hats. More are available if needed.
See you Sunday!
PS: Renee wants… no needs…another gummy bear..! “

So, Jive Turkeys, Karen’s plan is to find Turkey farms to visit in the nearby area. Needless to say, this will be considered a training exercise for the real Thanksgiving so be prepared for a tryptophan injection somewhere along the way. Pilgrim costumes are encouraged.

Fireball 420 Run, Wednesday, April 20, 2016

When: Wednesday, April 20, 2016. Breakfast at 9:00 AM, Poot Sharp at 10:15 AM
Meet at: Ben Dews Clubhouse and Grill, 6501 6th Ave, Tacoma, Washington 98406
This is probably the only ride in the PAC Northwest that is held on a Weekday which this year is Wednesday, April 20th (duh!) We have been informed that the theme will be ‘Sex, Drugs and Rock n’ Roll’ and once again will be sponsored solely by FIREBALL… As always, the details are shrouded in enigma that not even other Firkins have been privileged too. However, the organizers have assured us that it will be riddled with competition, riding and challenges. Breakfast will commence at 9:00 AM at Ben Dews Club House and Grill at which time the teams will be picked and the details divulged before being ejected out onto the streets at 10:15 AM Sharp so be prepared and ready to ride; Lethargy may reflect badly on your team. Make sure your belly is full as the break for lunch isn’t until 2:00 PM.
After lunch, frivolity will continue for the remainder of the afternoon and we do expect to be greeted by the Fireball Angels at an undisclosed location at the end of the day.
This is a public event open to all Scooterists….Don’t by shy, invite yer friends..
Anarchy..!!
