PEOPLE--CT WOMEN LOOKING FOR A CURE

OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH AND NONE CAN BRING THIS AWARENESS TO THE FOREFRONT AS DRAMATICALLY AND AS COLORFULLY AS THE MOTORCYCLE CLUB I HOOKED UP WITH ON SUNDAY OCT 23..


 I RODE DOWN TO NORTH HAVEN TO MEET UP WITH THE 'CONNECTICUT WOMEN LOOKING FOR A CURE' MOTORCYCLE CLUB..AT THE CLUB HOUSE PINK WIGS WERE PASSED OUT BEFORE A LONG LINE OF MOTORCYCLES LEFT ON WHAT WAS TO BE A  RIDE DOWN ONE OF THE MAIN STREETS IN NORTH HAVEN..A GOOD FUN RIDE, WELL THOUGHT OUT WITH ROAD GUARDS AND REAR GUARD CARS..


BACK AT THE CLUB HOUSE CHICKEN AND BURGERS WERE BEING DONE UP ON THE GRILL, (GOOD JOB ANNIE) WHILE INSIDE CLUB MEMBERS AND GUESTS HELPED THEMSELVES TO A BUFFET STYLE CHOW LINE..I HAD A GREAT TIME CHECKING OUT THE BIKES AND MEETING NEW PEOPLE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME KNOWING THAT ALL WAS FOR A GREAT CAUSE..

 WANTED TO GET A GROUP PHOTO OF THE 42 CLUB MEMBERS, BUT WITH ALL THE STUFF GOING ON I REALIZED THAT IT WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN..AND THEN WHEN THE BALLOON RELEASE HAPPENED, I WAS TAKING PHOTOS OF THE BEAUTIFUL 'FLAMING HARLEY' PICTURED BELOW (HAD TO SHOW YOU THIS BIKE)..AWESOME PAINT JOB,, INCREDIBLE TO SEE IN PERSON...

WITH ALL THE GOOD TIMES THAT WERE GOING ON I FORGOT THAT I DIDN'T MAKE A DONATION..HONEST MISTAKE.. DEBBIE,  ANNIE OR MONICA, SOMEBODY CALL ME AND I'LL MAKE IT RIGHT..BESIDES, IT'S A GOOD EXCUSE FOR ME TO RIDE DOWN AGAIN AND HOOK UP WITH YOU GIRLS..   



LOTS OF AWESOME BIKES THERE BUT THIS ONE RULED!!

LOTS OF DIFFERENT CLUBS AND FREE RIDERS ALL COMING TOGETHER TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR THESE LADIES AND THEIR CAUSE..A RAFFLE AND A 50/50 DRAWING ADDED TO THE ATMOSPHERE AND A PINK BALLOON RELEASE WAS PRETTY COOL..IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE SO, YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE POST I DID ON THE CLUB BACK IN THE JULY ARCHIVES..THERE YOU WILL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE CLUB AND HOW TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THESE WOMEN..THEY ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING GOING ON..TOYS FOR CONNECTICUT KIDS--COAT DRIVE FOR THE HOMELESS--AND ALWAYS SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER-EXP.-PUTTING TOGETHER CARE PACKAGES FOR HALLOWEEN..I LOVE THESE LADIES--JUST SUPER PEOPLE!!
