scenic roadways are all within an easy twist of the throttle

pathway to an abundance of enjoyable rides to participate in,
not to mention the Fun, Food, and Entertainment that has been
scheduled for this year’s Rally. As you slowly cruise along
the shimmering waters edge of Lake Pocotapaug, the calming
affect will place you in the proper mood to relax during this
back to basics extravaganza. Under the gleaming sunlight in
the center of a campground field, corralled by a borderline of
trees, under the umbrella of the “Big Tent”, our
grassroots jamboree will be an experience of a lifetime for
the entire H.O.G. Family. At night fall, the campground will be
cloaked in a canopy of twinkling stars, looking down upon the
brightly colored flames, dancing in bonfires that will reach
towards the sky. Everything has been put in place. There are
memories to create, it’s time to gas up your Harley-Davidson
and gather up your friends, we want to invite you to a “Celebration
at Thunder Corral”! |

20/21/22, 2006, Deep Creek Lake, MD. Harley-Davidson
established the Harley Owners Group in 1983 in response
to a growing desire by Harley riders for an organized
way to share their passion and show their pride, with
a total membership of 60.000. Rapid growth

went international, H.O.G. hysteria spread into Asia,
including new chapters in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia. BY 1999, worldwide membership had hit the half
million mark, and the number of local chapters totaled
1,157. Today, more that 900,000 members make

HARLEY RENDEZVOUS
CLASSIC 2006, JUNE 23,24 &25, 2006 PATTERSONVILLE,
NY. So the
next time you see an individual that still believes in the old
ways, you know the guy that still builds his own ride, and
still talks of brotherhood, take a moment and spend more time
with him. Don't hold it against him if he doesn't seem to want
to get with what's happening, and likes riding his shovel,
He's part of a vanishing breed that
still believes in individuality and brotherhood and was
probably at Woodstock. He still remembers what it used to be
about. So come on down and enjoy look at the past and see how
we used to have fun, but remember one thing, leave your Rolex
at home, it does not fit in very well with this event. they
never laugh at your ride, why, it because you ride and that
all I can say about that. If you want more, take a ride on the
wild side and visit their web site : HarleyRendezvous.com |
| HOLE IN THE WALL RUN, JUNE
25,2006, PLAINFIELD VFW, RT-14 @ 10:00 AM,
this run offered to the public by the GATE
KEEPERS M/C so as to gain support for this
fine organization. which supports the care of children who
have cancer. Run starts at the Plainfield VFW and run around
some of the nicest roads in Windham County. End up in Chaplin
at the Bac-Dor Cafe on Rt-16, where there will be a after run
party offering food, music, raffles and prizes, plus a 50/50
raffle.
Now a little information on who we are attempting to support.
The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp is almost undetectable. Enter
through the camp gates, and a wonderland explodes in a
kaleidoscopic burst of colors and architectural odes to the
Old West. The tree-lined dirt road winds and edges its way
around stables, barns, fields, and paths into the woods until
the main complex is revealed: an Olympic-size swimming pool,
log cabins circling a wide green, a theater, the OK Corral
(the infirmary), craft-making areas disguised as Western-style
shops, a towering round dining hall modeled on a Shaker barn,
as well as a recreation center. It is here that children
with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses find
camaraderie, joy and a renewed sense of being a kid. |
