A couple of years ago, when we decided to change the name of our monthly ride to a Fun Run, we had no idea of how appropriate that name would be for this past weekend’s events at Casa De Fruta. The “Casa” is located about 10 miles from Hollister on Hwy 152. Compared to Bakersfield, [...]

If you’ve been asleep for several months, then you probably don’t know that Bakersfield HOG Chapter 1580 is doing some things that are new and exciting for our local riding aficionados.

Tonight, I went to the Ladies of Harley meeting as an excuse to get out and ride and talk to some friends. Scheduling in the recent past has not allowed me to attend an LOH meeting in the last couple of months so I wasn’t sure what I would find. When I arrived at Nikki’s [...]
