4 FROM THE ASSISTANT CHAPTER DIRECTOR This month I am enroute to Wing Ding in Billings, Montana via a shortcut thru Lacey, Washington. I left on Saturday the 20th riding in the rain up 173 to Kerrville then to Junction where the rain finally let up. Made my way up the panhandle to Amarillo where I spent the first night. Sunday started out clear and cool as I traveled north into New Mexico and through Denver Colorado and up to Cheyenne WY where I spent the 2nd night. The scenery was flat and kinda bland. I was fortunate with traffic as it was very light even thru Denver. Most of the ride was kicked back with cruise control set at the speed limits. It started out cool 44 degrees out of Wyoming until Utah where it warmed up to 90 degrees. The scenery here got better as I entered the canyons and made my way north to Ogden, by passing Salt Lake City. I spent the night just north of Ogden. Enjoyed a very good Mexican meal, not tex-mex. I continued northwest on Hwy 84 thru Boise Idaho and into Oregon. 84 along the Columbia River was the most scenic of the whole ride. I stopped in Baker City, Oregon and was able to walk around the old downtown area. Unfortunately, it was after 5 and most of the historical buildings were closed. I was able to bypass the traffic in Portland and arrived in Lacey, next to Olympia WA. I met up with my son Alex in the evening. We will be leaving for Wing Ding in the morning, Sunday and make our way thru Idaho in Montana. We plan to arrive Tuesday. I ll send pictures from Wing Ding. See everyone in September. Armando Vasquez, ACD

6 K2 SPOTLIGHT RICHARD FLACK Started riding around age 12. Owned over 9 bikes from Honda, Harley, Indian and BMW. Some of my longest rides have been from Illinois to Texas Coast (Corpus Christi). I ve raced in the Hills of Denver with my Harley. Going up them Hills and also falling down. Also been in many motorcycle races. Especially being with the Police Department in chases. My wife Esther of 39 years loves to ride just as much as me. Maybe even more. Keep the rubber on the road and the shiny side up

7 Wats up K2? I couldn t wait to eat more PIZZA..PIZZA..PIZZA. I had to help make a whole lot of packets for our Rally at Pizza Hut and got to eat again. COWABUNGA the Rally is almost here. We also got together at Bill Millers on Tuesday afternoon. No Pizza but brisket and chicken had to do. Oh I did wash it down with ice tea, but no PIZZA anywhere. Will keep on hunting for PIZZA. I just love going on all the rides. We went up for breakfast towards Floresville when it started raining. The rain took Mike E., Melody, Donna, Armando, Pat and Michael into IHOP for breakfast. Took a ride out to Kerrville and got to see and stand next to large rocks. Stonehedge II Magical and Mysterious. A must see to believe. But no PIZZA. Gotta go get my stomach settled before more PIZZA. COWABUNGA. I M OUT LOOKING FOR 1 SLICE OF PIZZA. Can you find 1 slice of pizza in this Month s Newsletter?

K2 NINJA HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 9/6 Jesse & Gloria Dunn

8 What about lights? Lights on our bikes. Now we have lights that help us see at night, give others where we are turning, when we are stopping and of course here we are lights. The last one the here we are lights are running lights that are always on and some of us have additional lights that make people go wow, neat, and oooooh. To be able to see the road we might add some driving lights to our bike. The directional lights now have the ability to flash from inside your side mirrors like automobiles have. Let s not forget the mirror light in your trunk so you can fix your helmet hair. So if you add all these lights on your bike I would say your chances of being seen at night have increased. My little reminder is I'm all for more lights but is your bike battery ready for it. I would hate to be riding and not see you because your battery drained and was not able to charge quickly enough. So check those lights and have fun riding and remember more lights attract attention and bugs at night. Thanks to -Brian, Rider Ed Chapter B Wyoming
