Perfect Day For A Ride

What more could you ask for - sunny skies and low 80s - those combined with great friends make for a perfect day for a ride.

We left the Cruisin' 66 parking lot at 1:30, we just never seem to leave on time, but then again, we are never in a hurry. We headed up H highway and made our way to Pomme de Terre Lake. I didn't think I had ever been up there, but Tim reminded me that we were there in 2002 or 2003 with a boat that almost sunk! Ahhh, memories.

Anyway, today was much more memorable. Even though it was only 60 miles, with the stops and twisty roads, we rode for about 1 1/2 hours and ended up at Mr. Ed's in Nemo, on the east side of Pomme de Terre Lake. We had 99 cent burgers and $1 HUGE ice cream cones while we relaxed in the shade on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Wes did a great job of leading the group of 20 bikes along a great route. Carol took a lot of pictures, and I can't wait to see them this week. Check our website.

After leaving Mr. Ed's, Tim and I, along with Bob, headed to Bumsteads in Nixa. Joan and Ron were celebrating there 15th wedding anniversary and we wanted to stop by and say hello. It was a great ending to a great riding day.

Oh yeah, did I mention after leaving Mr. Ed's we got pulled over by State Patrol for speeding just north of Buffalo? Luckily we got off with just a warning! Geez!!!!

Cool Evenings and Good Friends

We had a good turnout for bike night last night and what a beautiful evening it was. It's hard to believe it is August and by the time the evening was over we needed light jackets (well, some of us did!).

We hung out here at the store until about 8:00 and then once again headed over to Dairy Queen for some 'treats'. I so enjoy doing this as it gives us all an oppotunity to just sit, tell stories and enjoy each other's company. If you have not had the opportunity to join us, please don't let the summer slip by without at least stopping by once.


If you receive my emails or watch our website, you know that we got in 12 2009 Visions this week. We received these at a discount and we want to pass this discount on to you. Some of these units are priced as low as $16,000. Whether you have a bike now or need to trade yours in, don't hesitate to come and talk to us and let us see what we can work out. Don't let this opportunity to own one of these great bikes at a great price pass you by.



Join us this Sunday as we head up to Pomme de Terre and have ice cream at Mr. Ed's. Meet at the store at 1PM. It's about 60 miles up there and of course we will take the leisurely route. See you on Sunday.

Catching Up

I just realized that I was a few weeks behind on updating my Blog. Well, it is August, time of relaxing on the porch with mint julips!

Our bike nights the last few weeks have continued to have a steady turnout of 'regulars'. This last Thursday, we went to Dairy Queen for some ice cream. We enjoyed this so much, we may do this more often. We had some new faces in the crowd and we missed some of our regulars who had other commitments. Bud and Carol and Bob went to the Victory Rally in Spirit Lake, Iowa - hope they are having a great time!

I did notice that the days are getting shorter and it is starting to get dark earlier in the evening. That means summer will be coming to an end all too soon. If you have not been to one of our bike nights, try to stop by before summer is over!
