We did our annual Ferry Boat Ride on Sunday May 30th. This is one of our favorite rides and it seems that it is always a very hot day. We started out the ride with 18 bikes and, if I remember correctly, we had 30 people. We rode down to Danna's BBQ in Kirbyville and had a wonderful lunch and we sang Happy Birthday to Thea, our friend from South Dakota that was visiting for the weekend. We continued on from there into Arkansas and rode the Ferry acoss Bull Shoals lake. It was a beautiful day, but the rain just couldn't leave us alone and we all got wet on the way home. Thank goodness for rain gear.
The weekend of June 11-13th, we had the Victory semi on the lot for the Victory Fuel It Demo Tour. This is always a fun weekend for us and if you missed it, the truck will be back the weekend of September 10-12th. We did over 100 test rides that weekend and I don't think I heard anyone complain about the fact that they had to ride motorcycles all day for 3 days!
On Sunday June 27th we rode to Mr. Ed's in Urbana for our June ride of the month. We did not have a large group, but it was a beautiful ride with very little traffic. We rode north out of Springfield and around Pomme de Terre lake over to Mr. Ed's. If you have not eaten at Mr. Ed's they are known for their 99 cent hamburgers and some of the best ice cream around.
We also celebrated Sharon's brithday in July. It's always a fun time at the store when we celebrate birthday's. Thanks to Wes' mom, Brenda Rose for making the beautiful cake.Check back next week as Tim and I head to Orlando to see what's new for 2011 for Victory Motorcycles. I will try to do some updates with photos while I am there.
