February Ride Recap
This month Chapter 109 held
their 10th Annual Show and Shine, hosted by Yamaha of
Cucamonga.
We started the day at The Whole Enchilada where we
held our chapter meeting and indulged in a buffet style breakfast.
We discussed upcoming events (STAR BQ, Laughlin River Run, Kern
River) and voted in 3 new riders. We are please to welcome the
following members to the 109 family:
Carol Olmos,
Manny Ochoa, Donna Lenahan
Following the meeting we fell
into formation and left as a group to Yamaha of Cucamonga, this
years destination of the Show and Shine.
As they have in the past Yamaha
of Cucamonga put a great feast for everyone, it was like having a
barbecue in the park which added to overall fun atmosphere of bikers
getting together for a good time. You could not have asked for
a better day, there was plenty of sun and tons of shine from all the
Chrome.
We
had over 40 bikes entered in six categories and it was not an easy
decision for any one. Spectators were seen walking in circles
checking every bike before voting and even then there were those
that could not decide until last call.
Several enthusiasts stopped by
just to show off their rides. One of the two bikes that did
not enter the Show and Shine but really stood out in the crowd was a
vintage Russian bike with a
sidecar and beautiful burgundy custom paint job. The rider
even brought a Russian flag with him to complete the vision.
There was also a classic Ducati SS that turned allot of heads and
reminded some of us of our youth.
Although this was an event for
Cruisers that did not stop one rider from bringing his customized
sport bike to share. This bike was so radically modified in
paint, body and suspension that it
could
have won in any voting class. It was a definite crowd
favorite.
After the voting was called to a
close and while the ballots were counted we drew the lucky numbers
for the raffle. Yamaha of Cucamonga donated gift certificates
in the amounts of $250, $100 and two Gift certificates of $50.00.
The grand prize of $250.00 was won by 109’er Sandra Walters.
Upon conclusion of the raffle the Show and Shine winners were
presented with their trophies.
