FOOD DRIVE

Fun was had by all as a LARGE group of local bikers met to take the TAMA donation to the Virginia Beach Food Bank Sunday afternoon.
We all met at noon at Fudruckers and rode en-mass down Virgina Beach Blvd to the drop off station.

It was great.. lots of pipe noise.

Upon arrival, everyone dismounted their bikes, unloaded their saddlebags (full of food) and presented the $1000 we had earned this year to support the drive.

HILLBILLY and I were the only ones present to represent CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS MOTORCYCLE MINISTRY... so the other slackers didn't get in on the blessing!
LOL

SLIM JIM RIDE - BIKER DOWN

Howdy Friends,
We have a great turnout for our SLIM JIM MEMORIAL RIDE, this past weekend (Saturday).  It was a gorgeous day for riding and picnicing and donating to a very worthy cause... downed bikers.  And YES.. I need to get the banner updated to MM!!!

The irony is.. we had a downed biker during OUR RIDE!!!
(I am recounting this from eyewitnesses... I was not there)

It wasn't 5min into the ride, traveling approx. 55mph.  Some freak-of-nature didn't tie down some lawn chairs in the back of his truck... they blew out.  The minivan directly behind him slammed on her brakes and stopped in the middle of the highway... our group of riders was directly behind the minivan.

Everyone slammed on their breaks and signaled for an immediate stop.. everyone skidded to a wicked fast stop... but Jackie lost control of her bike (front brake lock up??? we don't know).. the bike dumped hard on it's LEFT side.  She hit the street hard..and broke her wrist and got a nasty cut on her forehead and lip.  The bike landed on it's left side at first, throwing Jackie off, and then popped back up.
Ghost rider!!!
Bikes don't go too far with noone on them.. so it slammed back down on the highway on it's RIGHT side this time... slid approx. 180feet.

Praise the Lord noone else was hurt.
Half of the group rode to the hospital, others proceeded to the endpoint.

We all prayed for Jackie and hope she recovers quickly.
Thank you Lord for sparing her life.

God Bless America
