Couple of new posts here folks !

Hey folks -
Couple notes here !!!!!

July 4th BBQ at Bunkers - over in St Charles. We will be leaving the GR area about 9:30 am, from Johnson Park in Grandville .... be sure to drop me a note if you are planning to join us. Let's hope for good weather, I don't wish to 'leave' in the rain. I myself (you can stay as long as you wish of course) will be leaving there at 2 pm for GR, we have other family activities happening here locally.

Then we have the Copper Harber Ride, leaving on July 16th for 5 days - had an outstanding ride last year, so we're doing it again. Check out the boards for more info, or call me directly (616) 340-9497

Also place on your calendars, August 29th ... for our 4th annual GR Metro Cruise / Poker Ride Rally. More INFO is on the Michigan board as well.

Just Testing Here !!!

Just imported thru Picasa, curious how this worked. Here's a fine picture from Lumberman's Monument - in 2004

Northern Wolfpack BBQ

This Saturday - forecast is great - 70º and mostly sunny. We have another big BBQ to head to, this time it's in Grayling - at Chili & Timbr's home.

Our plans from the GR area. We will LEAVE at 9am sharp, from Perkins Restaurant (on Alpine - just north of the freeway) ... I plan to get to Perkins around 8am to have breakfast before we leave - would enjoy your company, so join me there.

Leave at 9am, and travel up mostly highway, to get there at noon. Plan to leave there about 3pm, then travel west towards the Lake Michigan coastline. Travel home more leisurely and scenic - probably get back to GR area about 7pm or so.

Again, would be great to have some fellow (or fellow-ette) riders along, but am going regardless - unless weather turns nasty - then they have a rain date for Sunday.

Let's Ride !!!!!!! Will be a great day, and they make some bodacious burgers up there !

Automatic Garage Door Opener

Ya know, after a long ride home on your bike, it can be a pain ... parking & getting off your bike, walking up to the garage and opening the door, walking back to your bike, then driving it on in. Or even late at night, you're tired ... just want to get in your home and relax.

Well, someone finally came up with a great little idea here, to make this routine much easier, they've developed a way to automate your garage door, using your bike's horn as a signal. Really a great little invention - just click on the header here for a quick video of how this works.

whooooooo weeeeeeee !

Just got back from the infamous 'Vermontville Maple Syrup & Fair'. About a zillion folks were there, and hundreds & hundreds of bikes - didn't expect that !!

We caught a few sprinkles here & there while going TO Vermontville, but coming home - oh man !!!! Fighting head on 30-40 mph winds, raining so hard I was looking around for Noah's Ark, temp dropped about 10-12º. Still I was smiling, saying "oh well, let's get the first 'bad weather ride' out of the way for 2009 - it can't get any worse" ..... then the lighnting started ?!?!?

But I'm home safe - very soggy and slightly chilled - now to soak in the hot tub - ahhhh!

I'd like to say "wish you were with us", but you're my friends, and I wouldn't wish that on you.

later friends,
Stitch
