I need to start this with what is on my mind first and foremost today, the Ride for Kids is over for another year and we did GREAT. There was $101,455.00 raised and a whole bunch of you helped. People took time out from what they were doing to help do all that we could to make this happen. We had a bunch of folks there and they jumped in to support the ride anyway they could. We rode survivors, siblings, and parents. I don’t normally do this and at my age it is not normally a good idea but here goes. The following people were at the ride, Don & Lynette Broxson, Mike & Cindy Janes, Michael & Alice Chapman, Richard Chapman, Russ & Betty Werman, Randy & Sue Harris, Mickey & Julianna Polka, Randall & Bonnie Southerland, Roy & Stephanie Fosnight, Don Peck, Gordon & Mina Banks (Thanks again Gordon), Ron Holmes, Evan & Michelle Hubbard (who took the time to bring us a donation even though they could not participate) and Paul & Susan (Saint) Neely (who could not be at the Ride but have supported us all year).
Three years ago Don & Lynette Broxson came to Mike & Cindy Janes and Anita & I about this Ride that was going on other places and was now going to happen in Alabama. He said he had been looking for a charity and this was it and were we interested in going to the meeting and finding out what we could do, or if we could help in some way. That was the beginning of a bunch of rides to different places around Birmingham to attend meetings; thankfully Lynette was from there and helped us find some of the meeting places. We finally settled down in the Hoover Library and have been there quite awhile. In the three years we have always tried to have at least one of us at every meeting and we have made a lot more than we have missed. We have went on Bikes as much as we could, in storms and cold driving cars when we had to and I can’t think of a single time (or I don’t want to) that we did not have time for Krispy Kreme before the meeting. The last couple of years others have joined in to help, go to meetings, and assist in anyway they could.
The folks of Chapter B have helped with things knowing they could not come and ride but they have jumped in and helped with raising money and supporting where they could. What I am trying to say is THANK YOU one and all for what you have done. We have an after action meeting Sunday at the Hoover Library (I think) and you are all welcome to ride down with us. Thank you again.
Now for the rides, We have a Rally coming that normally draws more Chapter B folks than any other. Biloxi time is here and we are ready. We plan to leave Wednesday after work and ride about half way, spend the night and go in Thursday morning (registration opens at 12:00 on Thursday). All are welcome to ride along. We have Miss Bobo’s coming in November and I could use some of the great food right now (no breakfast). If you have never ridden in a Parade, Saturday October 2nd is your chance. It is very short, you can throw candy and toys, and Anita goes to the Hallmark store right afterward for the Grand Showing of the new Christmas Ornaments (or something like that). We will have breakfast at Jackson’s Family Restaurant at 7:00 and then go line up for the Parade, come out and enjoy the Fall Festival.
I have a special request from a Breast Cancer Survivor to tell everyone that October is Breast Cancer awareness month. Remember to do your mammogram.
Please do a breast exam monthly.
Before you take a shower or bath lock the door and get to know your breasts.
It may feel embarrassing or seem weird but the earlier you find a lump the better your chances are at survival.
If you are thinking about riding, call a friend, they are probably thinking the same thing.

Also Alice has the country store if anyone needs items for vest or hats.
There are several different types of riders. Those out for leisurely cruises, errand running, and those out to set land speed records. What we all need to keep in mind is that anytime we are in a group of 2 or more motorcycles, the odds are high that multiple rider types will be included in that group. Many people scoff at the rider who does not keep up with the group, or the rider who insists on racing out ahead. Both attitudes fail to consider group, or TEAM, safety. A significant part of a group, or team, ride is the planning process before actual departure. The planning phase should include such issues as speed, route, and fuel stops as needed. That plan must also include discussions to determine the leader’s identity, or Team Point, and the Team Captain or the last bike in the group. Group safety is the joint responsibility of these two positions. A good team member assumes a responsibility to ride with, and work with, the other team members for the safety and protection of the group while on the road and especially in traffic. Maintain steady speed and spacing, yo-yo-ing or straggling disrupts the rhythm of other team members and destroys the main purpose of team riding. Stay alert and announce to other team members any road hazard or dangerous condition. Remember, as a team member, the lives of others are in your hands.
Remember, a one second stagger (left or right of the bike in front of you) and a two second following distance are rules for daylight and good weather. Double both in bad weather or during the hours of darkness. Anyone not wishing to participate in a team ride but wanting to go to the same destination should distance themselves from any group by at least 200 yards, though 400 yards is preferred. Knowing your destination is not enough, you also need to know the route and where you are in relation to the destination. This knowledge will prevent wrong turns or unduly long hesitations in intersections trying to determine which way you want to go. C.B. radios are a wonderfully useful tool but are only as good as the individuals in the group allow. Monopolizing the radio with idle chatter, while entertaining, can be downright dangerous when it prevents the announcement of a road hazard or “sudden” change of plans.
In roadside emergencies the first rider to see the situation should announce the problem to the Team Captain (last bike). The Team Captain should stop and render assistance while the remainder of the team continues on to a safe stopping place beyond the emergency site and wait for the Team Captain to catch up or call for help. Communication and concern for others are two of the most important aspects of team riding, remember and apply them whenever you are on the road.
Ride Safe and Often
Paul & Susan Neely - AL-B Ride Educators
Although certainly not the longest ride Netsybro and I have taken to get to a rally, or uh, Jubilee; We certainly did enjoy the ride and most especially the company on the way up to Nashville.
After a hearty breakfast Friday morning at Country Vittles we struck out for Nashville following the expert lead provided by Chris and Linda. It should be noted for the record, that this is the only time I have seen Russ and Betty in the 4 wheeler. For those that are unaware, Russ no longer has any splines remaining on his driveshaft as they went south on the way North from Birmingham two Sunday’s ago. A word of warning here, LUBE THE SPLINES. If you don’t know how, come ask me. If you don’t want to fool with it, have the shop do it, most especially if you are sporting around on a high mileage/vintage year Wing.
On another historic note, Mike and Cindy were ON TIME. This has got to be a first and Cindy bragged about it all weekend long. Way to go Cindy, especially since Mike was the one to forget something at the house.
This was Sue’s first big trip and she was a bit nervous. A bit of coaching from the gang and she was riding like a true professional by the time we got to the rally site. I know the whole chapter subscribes to providing encouragement for new members and not criticism. Way to go Chapter B. This in no way precludes hammering on deserving/non-deserving individuals as required/mood arises.
For those that have not seen the inside of the Gaylord Opryland, you really need to ride up and just walk around the gardens inside. It is really something to see. Netysbro kept taking notes and saying that we needed one of these and two of those in our home flower garden. Maybe she will forget she saw all those plants by spring as I have yet to find the auto pilot button on the shovel and hoe at the house.
For those in the dark about what the heck is a Motorcycle Jubilee, let me enlighten you a bit. It is a non specific brand or model rally with the main theme of International Drill Team competition. We watched the drill teams perform on Saturday. How long did you get to watch and how many teams performed you are thinking? Well our rear ends (no pun intended Russ) gave out before the drill teams quit on Saturday and teams perform all four days of the jubilee. I personally thought the police officers from Indianapolis, IN were the sharpest dressed and the fact that they were on identical candy red Harley-Davidson Electra-Glides didn’t hurt either. All the teams were really good when one considers that they are all amateurs and receive no compensation or financial assistance whatsoever.
The vendor list was long, but not as long as at Wing Ding or Wings over the Smokies, etc. I did manage to talk Netsybro into a new pair of chaps that I needed and we both got new WATERPROOF summer gloves. Will report later on about just how waterproof we are talking here.
WARNING: The parking lot at Gaylord Opryland is controlled by a gated mechanical arm. You must pull a ticket out to get in and insert a ticket in to raise the arm to get out or watch for the guard to raise the arm and then exit. On our first exit out we thought the guard had raised the arm for the entire group only to have it come down as Netsybro and I exited the lot. The parking lot gate arm caught her on the helmet first, then the forearm. It hurt her bad enough that she favored that arm the rest of the day.
Morale of the story – Don’t assume anything while operating a motor vehicle. I assumed the gate guard was holding the gate arm up for the entire group. I also assumed that the whole assembly had a failsafe mechanism that prevented the arm from coming down on an exiting car or in our case motorcycle rider/passenger.
Tommy and Melissa forced us all to go to a famous pancake house for breakfast on Saturday morning. Being located down town, Chris loaded the address in his GPS and guided the group right there. I am impressed with the capabilities of these amazing navigational aids. Been looking on the internet for the best price on one, but I just can’t seem to turn loose a grand, yet!
Saturday night found the group at a steak house, now joined by Mike, Alice & John (the John that spent all his money on chrome for his new white wing). The seating hostess did not recognize the celebrity in our midst and I had to point out to her that one of the gentlemen in our party was Tommy Reiad of Reiad’s Famous World Tours, Inc. We were immediately ushered in for one of the better tables in the house. Sure pays to travel with celebrities.
Cracker Barrel breakfast on Sunday (Smokehouse, what else would I have?) and it was time to head home. Some of the luckier folks stayed until Monday, but Chris, Linda, Mike, Cindy, Netsybro and I headed south. I was again to be impressed with Chris’s GPS. As the female voice of the GPS gave the next set of directions, Chris keyed the CB and we all heard which exit to take. This thing just gets neater and neater – I NEED ONE NETSYBRO!
The Motorcycle Jubilee is scheduled for the same time next year and at the same location. You may want to consider coming up for the day. Richard and Mike McCoy and family did just that and I believe that they really enjoyed seeing all the sights for the day.
For those planning on attending the Mississippi District Rally – SEE YOU THERE! This is the fourth year that Netsybro and I have planned to attend, paid our monies, got reservations and our jaws all set. We have always had to cancel at the last moment. The fourth time is a charm – SEE YOU THERE.
I never dreamed slowly cruising on my motorcycle through a residential neighborhood could be so incredibly dangerous! Little did I suspect.
I was on Brice Street - a very nice neighborhood with perfect lawns and slow traffic. As I passed an oncoming car, a brown furry missile shot out from under it and tumbled to a stop immediately in front of me.
It was a squirrel, and must have been trying to run across the road when it encountered the car. I really was not going very fast, but there was no time to brake or avoid it -- it was that close. I hate to run over animals, and I really hate it on a motorcycle, but a squirrel should pose no danger to me.
I barely had time to brace for the impact. Animal lovers, never fear. Squirrels, I discovered, can take care of themselves!
Inches before impact, the squirrel flipped to his feet. He was standing on his hind legs and facing my oncoming Valkyrie with steadfast resolve in his beady little eyes.
His mouth opened, and at the last possible second, he screamed and leapt!
I am pretty sure the scream was squirrel for, "Bonzai!" or maybe, "Die you gravy-sucking, heathen scum!"
The leap was nothing short of spectacular...
He shot straight up, flew over my windshield, and impacted me squarely in the chest. Instantly, he set upon me. If I did not know better, I would have sworn he brought 20 of his little buddies along for the attack.
Snarling, hissing, and tearing at my clothes, he was a frenzy of activity. As I was dressed only in a light T-shirt, summer riding gloves, and jeans, this was a bit of a cause for concern. This furry little tornado was doing some damage!
Picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a T-shirt, and leather gloves, puttering at maybe 25 mph down a quiet residential street, and in the fight of his life with a squirrel.
And losing...
I grabbed for him with my left hand. After a few misses, I finally managed to snag his tail. With all my strength, I flung the evil rodent off to the left of the bike, almost running into the right curb as I recoiled from the throw. That should have done it. The matter should have ended right there. It should have!
It really should have. The squirrel could have sailed into one of the pristinely kept yards and gone on about his business, and I could have headed home. No one would have been the wiser. But this was no ordinary squirrel. This was not even an ordinary angry squirrel.
This was an EVIL MUTANT ATTACK SQUIRREL OF DEATH!
Somehow he caught my gloved finger with one of his little hands and, with the force of the throw, swung around and with a resounding thump and an amazing impact, he landed squarely on my BACK and resumed his rather antisocial and extremely distracting activities. He also managed to take my left glove with him! The situation was not improved. Not improved at all !!!
His attacks were continuing, and now I could not reach him. I was startled, to say the least. The combination of the force of the throw, only having one hand (the throttle hand) on the handlebars, and my jerking back unfortunately put a healthy twist through my right hand and into the throttle. A healthy twist on the throttle of a Valkyrie can only have one result.
Torque.
This is what the Valkyrie is made for, and she is very, very good at it.
The engine roared and the front wheel left the pavement.
The squirrel screamed in anger.
The Valkyrie screamed in ecstasy.
I screamed in .. well .. I just plain screamed.
Now picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a slightly squirrel-torn t-shirt, wearing only one leather glove, and roaring at maybe 50 mph and rapidly accelerating down a quiet residential street on one wheel, with a demonic squirrel of death on his back.
The man and the squirrel are both screaming bloody murder.
With the sudden acceleration I was forced to put my other hand back on the handlebars and try to get control of the bike.
This was leaving the mutant squirrel to his own devices, but I really did not want to crash into somebody's tree, house, or parked car. Also, I had not yet figured out how to release the throttle... my brain was just simply overloaded. I did manage to mash the back brake, but it had little effect against the massive power of the big cruiser.
About this time the squirrel decided that I was not paying sufficient attention to this very serious battle, (maybe he was an evil mutant NAZI attack squirrel of death), and he came around my neck and got INSIDE my full-face helmet with me.
As the faceplate closed part way, he began hissing in my face. I am quite sure my screaming changed intensity. It had little effect on the squirrel, however. The RPMs on the Dragon maxed out (since I was not bothering with shifting at the moment), so her front end started to drop.
Now picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a very raggedly torn T-shirt, wearing only one leather glove, roaring at probably 80 mph, still on one wheel, with a large puffy squirrel's tail sticking out of the mostly closed full-face helmet. By now the screams are probably getting a little hoarse.
Finally I got the upper hand ... I managed to grab his tail again, pulled him out of my helmet, and slung him to the left as hard as I could. This time it worked ... sort-of.
Spectacularly sort-of ...so to speak.
Picture a new scene. You are a cop. You and your partner have pulled off on a quiet residential street and parked with your windows down to do some paperwork. Suddenly a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a torn T-shirt flapping in the breeze, and wearing only one leather glove, moving at probably 80 mph on one wheel, and screaming bloody murder roars by, and with all his strength throws a live squirrel grenade directly into your police car.
I heard screams.
They weren't mine...
I managed to get the big motorcycle under control and dropped the front wheel to the ground. I then used maximum braking and skidded to a stop in a cloud of tire smoke at the stop sign of a busy cross street. I would have returned to 'fess up (and to get my glove back). I really would have.
Really... Except for two things.
First, the cops did not seem interested or the slightest bit concerned about me at the moment. When I looked back, the doors on both sides of the patrol car were flung wide open. The cop from the passenger side was on his back, doing a crab walk into somebody's front yard, quickly moving away from the car. The cop who had been in the driver's seat was standing in the street, aiming a riot shotgun at his own police car.
So, the cops were not interested in me. They often insist to "let the professionals handle it" anyway.
That was one thing. The other?
Well, I could clearly see shredded and flying pieces of foam and upholstery from the back seat. But I could also swear I saw the squirrel in the back window, shaking his little fist at me. That is one dangerous squirrel. And now he has a patrol car. A somewhat shredded patrol car ... but it was all his.
I took a deep breath, turned on my turn-signal, made a gentle right turn off of Brice Street, and sedately left the neighborhood. I decided it was best to just buy myself a new pair of gloves. And a whole lot of Band-Aids.
