February 2011

Hello Chapter M Family and Friends,

So here I am, sitting in my condo in Hilton Head, South Carolina, thinking about just how unfair life is. Seventy degree plus weather, sports car to drive, enough golfing to kill a guy, all the fresh, and I mean right off the boat ready to eat fresh seafood, and don’t get me going on the pork!  Thank God for Pig!  It’s one of the main food groups down here along with okra and grits.  You just can’t go anywhere and not find it and boy, is it yummy.  But what has this to do with Goldwings and riding motorcycles you ask?  Absolutely nothing.  But I do think it’s unfair that everyone down here who has a motorcycle is out riding it and I don’t have my bike here.  It’s parked in its winter storage waiting for spring to sprung.

Having said that, we only have a few more weeks to wait too!  This letter is for the February Wisconsin District newsletter and if it makes it there, that means that we should be starting to pull our winter maintenance and be getting our bikes ready for the beginning to middle of April when we should be starting to ride again.  Exciting times are a com’n, they are.

But, because we just aren’t there yet, and because things are a tad slow, I’ve got some chapter activities to let you know about.  First, the chapter dinner night will be on Thursday, February 9, at 6:00 p.m. at the Graystone Ale House, which is located at 3711 Monroe Rd De Pere (Cty GV).

The February social will be on Sunday, February 26, at Mackinaw's.  We’ll be in the "Outpost" and we’ll start at 12:30 p.m. and go until 2:30 p.m.  You can order brunch or off the menu.  Mackinaws is located at 2925 Voyager Drive in Green Bay.

In closing, I’d like to wish everyone in the Chapter who’s celebrating a birthday or an anniversary congratulations and best wishes.  Be safe this winter, get yourselves in shape and in the spring, when it’s sprung, we’ll ride.
