This year I’m continuing putting a vintage motorcycle as the centerpiece with the markings either blacked out or a prototype that doesn’t have one. So all you motorcycle trivia experts get ready. I’m asking for the make, model, and year. If we have multiple correct entries we’ll draw for a winner. Oh yeah, by the way this will include all makes, models and years throughout history. They will be stock and no customs. Winner will receive a $20.00 gift card from Sun HD. March’s bike was a 1926 Ace 4 Director Deanna Thompson Asst.

The worst that I’ve had to do is put a “no 2021 Biker Rallies submission” on an officer. Sometimes life gets in the way, so I’m putting a questionnaire of 11 questions June 10-13 Republic of Texas Rally to the officers to answer all at once so that ya’ll will have more reading material and you might get to June 12-20 Laconia Motorcycle Week know them a little better. I’ll be doing it in the July 1-3 Freedom Rally Abate of Iowa month prior and be letting the chapter know what the question is so if you would like to submit yours, August 6-15 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally you can.

They have chosen 50 rides, one in each state for you to ride. Once you do the ride and send them the required documentation, they will send you a challenge coin for that specific ride. Well, guess what? One of those rides is the Million Dollar Highway. And the Rocky Mountain HOG Rally is in Durango. Just one more reason to come to the rally. You can ride the Million Dollar Highway and get a challenge coin! So cool! See you on the road! APRIL What is your favorite city and why? APRIL What is your favorite city and why?

I remember it made of stone and is the burial place of several patron saints and sovereigns. There are no modern conveniences in this Cathedral and it felt like the tomb that it was.
