Sunday, 11-1-09, Sissy set up a ride to the Wichita Mountains, Mt. Scott, Chaps My Ass & lunch at Ann's Country Kitchen, just outside of Meers Oklahoma. Invites were sent out and those that went had beautiful weather with clear sky's & a temp around 73 degrees. Scroll down & join us for this great ride and see who went with us. REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE..
I was going to swing by & get Russ at 10:30 a.m., so Janice got this pic of me after I rolled "SO" out of the garage and just before I headed over to Russ's. "SO" is my nickname for my Harley. It's Sierra Oscar & stands for "Significant Other". Janice may be my wife, but the Harley is my Significant Other..
I get Russ and we head out to the staging area at the Wal-Mart gas pumps on I-44 & Airport Dr. in Wichita Falls Texas. Here is Russ Northbound on I-44..
We gather at the staging area and those going today are, left to right: Bill, me, Mark G, Steve, Jenn, Russ, Mark M, AJ, Janis, Ted, Lori, Sissy, Robert, Larry, Alice, David, Tammy, Tim, Russell & Myra.
