Happy Thankgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
We have so much to be Thankful for. So this Thanksgiving time, take a few moments to sit back, reflect on all that God has done for you and how far he is brought you... and count your blessings.
We don't deserve His Mercy and Peace.. yet they are ours as gifts from his throne.
Hug your spouse and kids (if you have any) and go hug your motorcycle too.. we would have nothing without God... and look around for other ways to give Thanks back to God for all he has done.

From all of us here at Christian Soldiers Motorcycle Ministry.. God Bless You.

LATEST PROJECT

Howdy All.
My latest project is this '77 Triumph Bonneville - T140 750cc.
My first kick start bike (except for the dirt bike I had in high school, that doesn't count).
I bought it off of PSYCHO a couple weeks ago who had it sittin' under a tree for a couple years. He says it was running when he parked it.. but it couldn't have been running well!  LOL
The pistons were stuck in the cylinders - engine all locked up, oil tank was cracked and falling off the bike, gas tanks full of rust, dual carbs had stuck slides (and most likely floats), fuel and oil lines are hosed, flat tire in the front, rear master cylinder inoperable, speedometer cable broke, etc. etc.
I think RUST is holding it together.
So.. here we go.
I'm working on getting it all up and running again.
Wish me luck.
This is actually going to be fun.. Until 2 weeks ago, I knew nothing of British Bikes.
We'll see.

UNION MISSION RIDE

We joined the Ambassadors for Jesus Christ Motorcycle Ministry on the 11th.  It was a great turnout (18) for the 1.5hour ride south of town. We ended the ride at the Union Mission in Virgina Beach VA. There we helped out with grilling/cooking and serving the men at the homeless shelter. They were very grateful for a day out of the chow-hall!
It was a good time talking and serving.

Thanks tons to the Ambassdors for letting us be a part of their yearly scheduled fund-raiser and outreach.
I didn't get any shots AT the actual men's shelter while we were serving... to busy to even pull out my camera. Join us next time if you want a real blessing. Thanks also to LURCH and PSYCHO for stepping in and helping out!

EXTORTION 17 RIDE

The EXTORTION 17 was the name of the helicopter that crashed one year ago in Afghanistan killing 31 heroes. Many of them were fellow SEALS. We rode to HONOR and REMEMBER them and their families.

It was a great ride and we couldn't have asked for better weather. Here are some photos of the ride. We will most likely ride it again next year.  The news reported approx 1000 bikes - but i had only guessed about 500. it was amazing and fun and a chance to show we cared.

WOTP POKER RUN AND RIVER MINISTRIES BIKE BLESSING

It was another cool saturday morning and the SOLDIERS were once again on the roll. We made it to The Wheels of the Promise Biker Church around 10 am for registration and directions for the Poker run. DJ and Janie, Diesel, Kevin, Orval and Jeff were there to represent C2 on the run. had a good ride of about an hour and a half and ended back at the Church for burgers and dogs. Had some good music from a live band, whose name eludes me at the moment.
Then some of us headed to the Rivers Ministries in Jacksonville for their 2nd annual blessing of the bikes.

More food when we got there......Riding with us can cause weight gain !!! Met a lot of new people and made some new friends. Mostly sport bike clubs, but good people all around. We plan on getting involved with the planning and content of this event next year, as we were invited to by Pastor Mike. Chainsaw caught up with us and made the ride down to J-ville with us also. It was a good day over all...and I think we brought some of God's light to different people than we normally do. Get out of your comfort zone and be different!!!

 

 

So when you are out riding this year and you see a patch you are not familiar with go up and introduce your self...and if the opportunity presents it self...introduce them to Jesus.
God bless you all.

C1 - Colonial Parkway Ride (Five and Dime)

C1 had a great ride on Mother's Day thru beautiful Colonial Williamsburg (Virginia) area on the Colonial Parkway.  The sky was partly overcast and light breeze of 5MPH... perfect day for riding.  We rode for 4 1/2 hours and only went 113miles... which means we stopped a lot along the way to enjoy the scenery. Here are a few shots of the trip.. it was beautiful.
