Don't Talk On Cell While Driving!

The Honda crotch rocket rider was traveling at approximately 85 mph. The VW driver was talking on a cell phone when she pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the motorcycle. The rider's reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. The car had two passengers, and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 20 feet from where the collision took place.
All three involved (two in the car and the bike rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at the Motorcycle Fair by the Police and Road Safety Department.

Playground Is Up...Great Work Mops!!!

Special thanks to Crystal Harris and her leadership team that worked so hard on making their dream reality. The park looks wonderful!





Thanks to all the DC Riders that came out to give a lift or move some sand! The playground went up some slick! "Mothers on Playground Society" did a great job raising funds. Hats off to the community for coming together and giving our kids (old and young) a place to play!

Members Ride & Grill

The ride was a little chilly but "chilly" was the only thing missing from the menu afterwards! Several kinds of meat helped warm us up! Corn, ribs, chicken, burgers, dogs and salads all made for a wonderful time around the fire! It was a great day! Thanks to all that came out and be watching for more...

When the legs stop working...ride in style.

Someone sent me this...thought it was neat...Don't forget the Burgers and ride this Sunday.

MEMBERS BAR-B-QUE

The DC Riders will be going on a ride this Sunday afternoon, departing from the Conway Shell at 1:00pm. All members are encouraged to go on what might be the last run for the season. It won't be a long run, probably up to Bridgetown and back.

There is also going to be a members (and family) BBQ at 6:00pm on Sunday as well. It will be at John Soles' place, 6 Prince Willim St, Digby (next to Digby Marine). Dogs, burgers and pop will be provided, but if you feel like bringing something extra like salad or dessert, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hope to see you all there.

Still more neat pics from WRR!

Wharf Rat Rally

We survived another Wharf Rat Rally...crowds were the biggest yet. The sun was smiling all week long. Here are a couple pics...and a taste of the "wall of death". Lots more will be on our video.

Sea of people all weekend long...

Some neat designs as always...

Dunk'em Game in Action

Some have wondered how the mechanics of the game go down...here is a look at the process...as you can see...not only are we good looking...WE's smart too!

Maritime Building at its Best.

Originally from Notre-Dame NB, Luc Leblanc grew up working around his father's backyard shop. He was always taking stuff apart and then putting it back together.

In January 2004, the company was officially created. After a new project bike was in the works, Luc decided to do machine work and fabricate custom bikes and parts under the name of Kent County Custom.

Luc has proven himself a real maritime craftsman and his designs are some of the best around. If you are ever riding around NB...be sure to check him out!

Rolling Tribute...less we forget.

You most likely remember that day with vivid clarity...September 11, 2001. What were you doing? It's been a while but certainly it is a day that we will never forget. Here is one mans tribute to those lost that day. I thought it was neat and worth posting. The trucker's name is John Holmgren from Shafer, Minn. He has been 'pulled over' numerous times just so the troopers can get their picture taken with this rolling memorial.
