Ola Amigos,

Summer is getting here and so are the tornados. Weather forecast following Memorial day was gonna be a nightmare. So needed to get my ass out of the house. I had heard through the grapevine, actually from the owner of motorcycle salvage shop next to my work, there was an Iron Cylinder Ride over the week-end... I look it up on the net and there it was....

So, after informing the wife and kids that I would be gone all day, I did a quick check up on Shovel nbr 2, removed the side bags, made a single seat out of the seat I had purchased from the salvage shop, I was ready to hit the road

Shovel nbr 2, is next project. Am hesitating into turning into an fhl, which is probably what she was at some point of time, or turning into a another chopper. Madam wants to ride and she will be her horse so need to take this into consideration. Will see. Anyway, I turned up at MC Creation on time on sunday and crowd was allright. Few old bikes and many twinkies. They did things well, twinkies were parked in the back, and iron stood in front of the shop. Coffee was crap but donuts were good. Did not see anyone I could mindle with except one guy, and since never been much of a group rider, I had secretally prepare a little side trip, just in case in could not find myself in the mist.

I escaped before anyone could see me and after I got rob slightly more than 20usd for two 30 amp circuit breaker. They cost 3.99 in Auto zone !!!!!! Talking about subsidizing your local workshop !!!!! There must be a limit to how much you can screw people. Anyway, first time there and shop was kool, so will come back and try my luck another time. Took nice little trip into the Sam Houston forest, made a quick stop into one of those famous ice house. Once again loaded with twinckies, and headed toward the Yankee tavern where the Iron Ride Run ended.

Sure enought, 2-300 bikes turned up. Luckily I had order my burger beofre everyone got there so filled in my stomach and after brief discussion with the guy with the nice chop, I hit the country side making my way home.

Nicest chop of the day....
