Start Date: 6/13/2009 End Date: 6/13/2009 Address: All Over America Telephone: 304-395-6001 Sponsor: Crickett Steel Horse Cowgirl Description: Katelynn Stinnett was 2 yrs old when she was brutally raped,beaten,sodomized and killed by her 18 yr old attacker. I personally attended her funeral and I am telling you now it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. After her funeral I decided to make it my responsability to get the word out about child abuse. We all know it is there but somehow it gets put to the back of our minds and we don't think about it as we should. I along with the help of many people here from BON are putting a national run together in her memory. All proceeds from her run in each area/state where it takes place will be donated to a childrens charity that aids in prevention and awareness of child abuse.All the detail have not been worked out yet but the most important thing the date has been...June 13th...please mark your calendars and help me help give a voice to the little ones who dont have one.I will be posting a list of volunteers in each area/state for people to contact as it becomes available to me.Thank you to everyone. Contact: Steelhorsecowgirls.com for more info on riding in your area for a great cause.
A local guy is offering a bike transporter service for anyone coming out of Florida to Sturgis. He is licensed and insured. If interested, post on this blog, since I am no longer a Gold member and can not reply to emails.
I posted a public service announcement to warn others of a phone scam and I see it has been yanked. Personally I think it's BS, when a member can not warn others of things happening in todays society. I am, just like everyone else an adult and dont need a blog censored. May the 906-33 people find you and you can see the nightmare I am going through. Consider me a non member effective immediately.
I wanted to warn everyone of a company that is harrassing people by cell phone. I have recently become a victim of these calls. They are foreign, with an Indian accent and will call you up to a dozen times a day at all hours of the day and nite and try to sell you controlled drugs. I am at my wits end with these people and contacted the FTC and the FBI. I have discovered there are many people getting these same calls. It is so aggravating. I am going to file a complaint with the National Pharmacy Registery also. If you are getting these calls, please file complaints on a National level. Local law enforcement has no control over it.
I have looked every where to no avail. Has anyone seen the HD plates, is what I call them, that go on the heel of the boots? I know you can buy the boots with them, but I want to add them to a pair. I have looked all over the internet today. Has anyone seen what I am talking about?
Gals - you have got to read the whole thing if you can keep the tears out of your eyes)
Pocket Taser Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Taser for their anniversary submitted this: Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 22nd Anniversary, and I was looking for a little something "extra" for my wife. I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on the assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety.... WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device, and brought it home. I loaded two triple-A batteries in the thing, and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed.
I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. Awesome!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Toni what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.
Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all THAT bad, with only two triple-A batteries, right?!! There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions, and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit, I thought about zapping Gracie, (for a fraction of a second) and then thought better of it. She's such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised.
Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top, with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and taser in another.
Does anyone know anyone in Vegas that might could help me recover a brand new carbon helmet I left there in May? I have the address of where it is located, but offering the person my credit card and Fedex account number to ship it is getting me no where. I think waiting 3 months has been fair enough on my part.
Ok, I promised someone I would post this, so here goes. Guys, do you like for your women to swallow and if so, would you kiss her afterwards? This was a girls discussion and we happen to notice most guys won't kiss ya after you do this deed!
I wonder if any of the ladies are addicted to buying leather or is it just me? Ordered another leather jacket, like I need another one. ha I just can't seem to stay away from the online sites and have to always see what they have gotten in that's new. Ok, so I need a closet just for leather pants, chaps and jackets. LOL
Any one want to share pictures of their favorite tats? I want to get one on my lower back, but haven't decided what as of yet, although I have some ideas.
Ok, so I spend a year getting the Sporty the way I want, making it suit my personality. With many headaches from Harley either saying Harley doesn't make that part for a Sporty or it can't be done, or right down to selling me the wrong parts, which causes another drive back to the Dealer with wrong part in hand. I chalk that up to it being a Sporty and perhaps I don't have many options, since after all, it's not one of the "Big Boys" and I am asking for too much in the customizing dept. Moving on to the VRod...The shipper drops the bike at Harley and I tell Harley, once again, this is what I want done to it and this is what I would like to accomplish. Simple huh? NOT! Ok, so they have the bike almost 2 weeks and I have yet to ride this new bike, I am making payments on. Bear in mind it took Las vegas 3 weeks to ship the damn thing. This is what I picked up yesterday from Harley and handed a front fender! Of course, the solo seat I asked for was not installed either. When I ask why the fender is not on the bike, the reply was, "You need to change the tires so the fender doesn't rub". All I ask is for Harley to fix the bike the way I want it. Why is this so difficult? So in summary for $600.00 I get the wrong seat and am handed a front fender? What is so difficult about working on a bike? Can anyone else relate to this ongoing frustration? BTW CW, thank you for listening this morning while I vented. lol Also, let me add while at Bike Week, I went to a place called Miller's. I was so impressed with their professionalism. Walked in and told the guys exactly what I wanted to achieve and can you do this? Done deal, no questions asked or excuses that it can't be done to a Sporty. So why can't Harley be this way?
Last night was a nite of Splendor. My Son, my baby, married his fiance of 4 years. It was a joyful event even though I couldn't stop crying. Why I kept asking myself? I am so happy for them both and yet before the wedding, I go into the room where all the Groomsmen are sitting, the guys all knew Mom wanted some time with her son, so they all left us alone. All I could do was hug him and hold on tight. Telling him how proud of him I am and how much I loved him. Needless to say, we were both holding on to each other and babbling in tears. I kept asking myself, why is it I am so emotional over his wedding and not my Daughters? Is it because he is and will always be the baby and Mom now feels all alone? Many thoughts run through my head. I cried when I was escorted down the isle and he cried watching me be escorted as well. I cried again when they both were standing at the alter and they both said a prayer and lit candles in memory of the Grandfathers that had passed and were not able to be with us during this Blessed event. The reception was Grand. They had reserved the entire restaurant for the packed event. Coming home with many mixed emotions, I still kept asking myself, why so many tears with no answers? This morning I wake up and realize they are on their way to their Honeymoon in Antigua and I didn't get to say goodbye. The phone rings. It was my son. They can't leave the country due to a ban and had to make alternate plans. He asks, "Mom can you come get us at the airport and I gladly do so. They have new plans to fly out today at 2:30PM and will stay at the Beverly Hills Wilshire for 2 days before going to Hawaii for their Honeymoon. I was elated to see them both as I am picking them up. But on the way to the airport, I finally realized why the emotions and tears kept flowing. Brandon took the place of my Father after he died and he is the only man in my life. Which made us so close. I was so happy to find the answer and know why it was so hard to let go. He is starting a new journey in his life with his new Bride, but still called Mom in a time of need. That put peace in my heart just knowing he could have called anyone, but he chose Mom. As I dropped them off at their home, they both told me how much they loved me and she could never replace Mom, but now I have a new Daughter. She is all I could ask for in a new daughter and now I smile.
I picked up the Vrod today and it has a license plate bracket saying Washington Harley or something on it. I am looking for a nice looking bracket, maybe a barbed wire look in chrome or something along that line. I really like the side mounts, but the ones I have seen on EBay and Dennis Kirk are running about $500.00. Any ideas where I can look?
