Ok, so I hope everyone had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving! Now that Turkey day is over and much colder weather is starting to set in, I can only hope that this Winter isn't going to be as bad as 2010-2011, with that said my hopes were shattered when the morning news came on at the beginning of this week and they said that this Winter was going to be worse than last Winter, with higher record snow falls and lower temps that this past Winter. All I can say is yuck....I don't like the cold, love seeing the fresh snow but only for Christmas Day then I am over it and it can go away.
So with tomorrow being the first day of December and I have done absolutely no Christmas shopping yet time is flying by and Christmas will be here before we know it. We have our local HOG Chapter meeting coming up and it will be election's for all the positions in the Chapter. Also coming up is our Annual Holiday Party, I am looking forward to being with all our HOG Brothers & Sisters, and as always, yes you guessed it the FOOD.
I have decided that next Spring I will embark on a little weekend journey of my own, I will be taking the Abate Class in the Spring 2012 to learn how to ride my own ride. I am excited and looking forward to learning to ride. I have been tossing this back and forth for a few years but have always chickened out and finally made up my mind to just do it and get past the fear! So I will definitely keep you all posted. Wish me Luck! (cause I am gonna need it)
I will be posting again within the next week or so with some Holiday Pictures and memories to report. So please stay tuned and don't stop following as there will be some exciting posting coming up!
I want to thank everyone for following my posts and hope that you all have a Wonderful Holiday Season, stay safe and feel free to leave a comment if you wish.

Last Ride of the Season??? Maybe :(
Yes its been awhile since I have written this past month and a half have been very busy, this past Sunday November 6th, 2011, we decided at the last minute to go for what could have been our last ride of the season with some friends. Dan & Marcy were our leaders for today.
It was cool, but the winds were horrible they were 35-40 miles per hr. I thought I was gonna be like Mary Poppins and fly off the bike into the sky. It turned out to be a wonderful late morning and early afternoon. There were quite a few of us that went, I believe we had about 14 of us with some of us doubled up on motorcycle's and there were 10 motorcycles. We headed out going North from Noblesville, Indiana to Kokomo, Indiana. Dan & Marcy did an awesome job taking us up through some really scenic parts of some small towns in between the two major cities. We went over Morse Reservoir, it was a pretty site to see the sun bouncing off the water as shown in the below selection of pictures.
As we got closer to Kokomo the winds really kicked up and were really bad, we came out on 28 west to US31 and headed north to a wonderful restaurant for some much needed warmth and food. Good times, Great Friends, and of course awesome food. The place we ate ate was Half Moon Restaurant & Brewery in Kokomo, Indiana. Some of us had never been there before and I must say it was one of the best places we had eaten at in a while. After we ate, we all decided we wanted to stop in at Harley-Davidson of Kokomo, Indiana which was just a block or so south of the restaurant. The deal breaker of the day for a couple that was with us, didn't turn out so well, as we pulled into the dealership one of couples in the group had the clutch cable break. To make matters worse the dealership even though it was open the Service Department was closed, so a couple of the guys got on the phone and called another Chapter Brother to see if they could round up a trailer to pick up Bill & Janet and their bike. Three of the riders had to head back home, but the rest of us decided to stick around for a while to ensure that someone was coming to get them, as we stood around we all chatted and swapped stories of the current summer's mishaps. As the day was winding down it was getting late and we decided to head out towards home with Dan & Marcy in the lead. We got home and I realized that yes this was going to be the last ride I took of 2011.
I will continue to write in the blog and hopefully fill some of the gaps between September 11th and now November 6th. Please stay tuned and I will keep your winter full of reading even though we aren't riding I will have some stories to tell as we do activities through out the Winter Months. God Speed my Friends!
