Yeah…I was a little confused when I saw the flyer at Sweetwater Harley-Davidson in San Diego…a “dead bird” run. The ride was scheduled for New Years Day at 10:00am. I was vacationing in Chula Vista and enjoying the great riding weather there so I figured, what the heck…I’ll see what it’s all about.

I’m reflecting on a year that has literally flown by.  It’s hard to believe that I’ve had the privilege of being Director for Bakersfield HOG Chapter 1580 this past year and I’m thrilled to have met and come to know so many fine people.  It’s amazing that people from all walks of life can come [...]
