Success is not Final...Failure is not Fatal

A little about me

I ride a 1987 FLTC (custom, limited edition, 13 0f 200). I picked it up in 1994 at a good price. Yeah, if you look hard enough, you'll still find some good deals out there!
I've been riding since 1968 and this is my first Harley. I'll never go back. Ride what you enjoy and I respect you for that, but ... I know what I like.

I'm a member and currently president of the Twin River Riders motorcycle club in Ottawa, Illinois. We are non-denominational, (Open to all bikes). Our membership is over 100. We like to ride. My wife and I ride about 12,000 miles per year. A couple of our members ride in excess of 20,000 miles per year. We once rode 350 miles to a restaurant in southern Missouri for supper. (We stayed overnight on that supper run).
Visit the Twin River Riders Home Page.
I also belong to the Streator,Il, H.O.G. Chapter and the Open Roads A.B.A.T.E. Chapter. Support your local ABATE chapter. They're helping to protect your freedom to ride.
My favorite dealer is Rod Garrett at Garrett's Harley-Davidson/Kawasaki in Kangley, Il. (just outside Streator,Il.). Stop in and visit. He enjoys talking to the customers and his staff will take excellent care of you.

Note: I recently received an e-mail from a gentleman that has Muscular Dystrophy. He wanted to thank all the Harley Riders out there who attend events that raise money for MD. He says you're Top Notch. Let's increase our support in the future. Thanks.

1996 Sturgis Report

Well Sturgis didn't appear to be as crowded this year. You could walk along Main Street with very little difficulty. I wonder if people are getting tired of being harassed by the local law enforcement agency. Still a lot of great bikes and people to talk to this year. Tons of vendors and the weather was great. Interesting note: We stopped by Hulett this year and they had almost as many people and bikes as Sturgis. They are billing themselves as the 'Old Time Sturgis Rally'. Will probably spend more time there next year. New T-Shirt Logo at Sturgis this year. It said: 'I rode my bike to trailer week'. Seems more and more people are not taking the time to ENJOY the ride TO Sturgis. I feel sorry for them. That's what it's all about. Came back home through Laramie, Wy. and ran into some snow between Laramie and Cheyenne. Will post some pictures,(PG-Rated) after they're developed. If anybody has some comments from this years' Sturgis Rally, let me know.
