15 May there will be a poker run at Fat boys, 6800 N. Palafox. This is to help out Henry who last his trailer when the Styx River flooded. If anyone is interested they can meet there. It kicks off at 10:00.

4 Jun there will be a ride for Sugarbear beginning at the intersection of Pace and Palafox in Pensacola at Noon. Registration begins at 11:00 and the cost is $10 per bike. Don't know if Jeeps are allowed, so bring your Harley's or your other bikes.

The club voted to support the cost of ramp repairs/repainting/upgrades. Dwayne will handle the ramp work.
