J Brauner Fire-Loss Benefit

What a great turn out for a benefit ride!
Jimmy Brauner (local rider) lost everything he had in a house fire.
So some friends... hear me now... FRIENDS... decided to throw a benefit ride for him and his family.   They send out emails, texts, facebook messages, everything the could and you know what.. the word spread as quickly as the fire did.  There must have been 200bikes there at the Lazy Horse at 1:30PM when I got there.. the benefit started at noon and guys were coming in... donating, eating some good ol' bar-b-que and riding off.  It was awesome... I bet the whole turnout was well over 400bikers.
I have honestly never seen a BENEFIT ride this big.
Praise the Lord for friends we can turn to in our time of need.
Praise the Lord for Jesus Christ we can turn to in our time of need.
He (jesus) will take care of the eternity part!!! And will bring you great joy and peace while you are still here.

Go call a friend.. we need each other.
Go call on God... we need his presence in our lives every day.

Ham Biscuits at the Monthly Meeting!!!

WooHoo.
Weather is sooo unpredictable.. but thank God it was decent enough for RIDING to the monthly meeting.

PSYCHO showed up at my place on his bike at 5PM.  We left soon after and rode toward the clubhouse in
Suffolk.  The sun was EXACTLY down the road.. EXACTLY in our eyes.  Unbelievable.. couldn't see the car right in front of me on the highway!  We were very happy when it set!

The ham-biscuits were hot out of the oven when we arrived at SMILEY's place.  The clubhouse now has a coffee maker and some chairs.  I donated (but haven't delivered yet) a file cabinet and a microwave.
SMILEY purchased a 1/2 sized fridge (brand new)... awesome.  So we are ready to rock and roll.. except for finishing the paining of the interior.

It was a great meeting.
POBOY was the only guy missing due to illness.
It's really great when every guy in the club has a running bike!!
Praise the Lord.

Great monthly meeting and great food.  We're gunna be cooking burgers here before long.. as soon as the ice melts off the grille!

Keep praying for opportunity for us to serve!
God is good and always will be.

Brotha Boogie doing what the Lord has called him to do........He is now also jammin with his new band, LAST TRAIN. They are really awesome !!!!!! I hope they will be playing at C2's annual party the first sat night in May. Come to the party on sat. night and then to our Biker Sunday the next day !!!!

Catching up......

So I'm 4 months late with the pics, sue me !! once upon a time a man, his son and his best friend decided to take a cross country trip on thier motorcycles........ and the rest is history. We had a blast and we have the pics and videos to prove it. I will share more with you over the next few weeks or months... I will not try to caption all of them just the ones you may not get at face value. If you have questions, you know my E-mail address. Everyone that rides needs to make this trip at least once.......... Jay and I are talking about doing it again !!!

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

God Bless America!

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
