Well, Bunker has been awarded a mission for life! GBG (Great Big Grin) Easter Baskets for Dos Palos. He has done a great job in organizing and has had pretty good attendance. Tho, last year was a banner year and spoiled us, maybe next year!
A bit cool on the start but the day got much better, beautiful day by time we arrived. I rode in by myself and when I arrived, someone was at the off ramp giving directions. The place we were supposed to meet was unsatisfactory so we moved over to a local restaurant. IMHO, a much nicer place.
District 13 ALR was just pulling in and shot some pics... I belong to the group but didn't want to ride the wrong direction to start the ride and went by myself.
Mike, right center, getting off his scoot.
As the location had changed, they decided to "put out some markers" . I don't think many would miss a bunch of scoots!
Just shooting some pics, we had quite a few cages also.
Slick John got the honor of carrying the baskets that were put together at American Legion Post 564 in Santa Clara. Nice haul and thank you!!!
More, his van was completely full! But the need was much and I'm sure we could have used twice as many.
We have a basket thief!!! GBG One of our Dist 13 riders wanted to take his own in...
Well, Dist 28 finally got up and made here!!! GBG Had to poke Gene B a bit!!!
And more... quite a nice addition to our group!! Much appreciated!!!
Just keep coming in...
Getting parked as we wait for another group and police escort... They and we also like to parade around town a bit and "wake the town up!!!!" Many folks came out and gave us a wave and it was much appreciated!
Getting to be a decent group of folks!! We finally tallied over 65 scoots and cages.
We are at the court house and it's looking fine!
More...
Well, folks were going to head to the local Legion Post afterwards for sandwiches but I always carry my own. Heading over to my sweet Ruby to get it now... I gave a member a few bucks to put in the tip jar in thanks for their support. Their support is very much appreciated!!!
Just shooting around the parking area.
Down the street towards the court house...
Doug was taking a rest at the bus stop. I kinda joked, I need a pic of the sign to know where I was!!! GBG The gent on the left was a local. The scoot in front is a 2000 Kawasaki Nomad. I run a 2001. The rider did not know about VROC, Vulcan Riders and Owners Club. WWW.VROC.ORG An amazing and supportive group. If Ya own a Vulcan, go there and look at the techtalk forum. Outstanding!!!
Working my way to the court house... As always a line of kids with their parents.
... and around the block...
Looking back down to where I came...
This little guy, I later learned his name was William, same as me, came up and wanted to sit on my scoot.. Of course, I said Yup!!! He wanted a pic, gave Mom my card and said "send me an email for a copy", well not too enthusiastic of a pic...
Tried again.... that is NOT the smile of a scoot rider!
So I got Mom to step in... still not there...
Ok, I prepared to take a pic and told Bill, "this is day 1 of a 15 day trip, the wind is in your face and life is good!!!!" That boy WILL have a scoot in his life!! GBG
Bill get's around!!! GBG\
Always try to take 2, as the expressions always change... and I tend to take lousy shots.... sigh....
My new friend with the 2000 Nomad got into the act! Great on Ya!!!
Something about 2 pics....
They were standing in line!!! GBG
Now who do we have here???!!! GBG
Great run Bunker!!! Great on Ya and all that rode!!! Maybe Gene B and get 28 to be on time next year!!! GBG Just had to do it!
