DC RIDERS

U.S. Vets Trike.

We are always posting bikes that inspire...check out this trike dedicated to the men and woman in the military.

Thanks to all those who came out to participate in the Tribute to Bob last week. It was awesome seeing a community come together and remember...thanks for the stories, thanks for the tears, thanks for the laughs. All of you did Bob proud. Remember: It only ends when we let it go. Thanks for the memories Bob...

1957, 1958 & 1959 All Rolled Into One!

This little Chevy is just too cool! This car was built by N2A Motors (No Two Alike).

Unbelievable! The company is planning a production run

Of about 100 vehicles.. It sits on a Corvette C6 chassis,

Front styled like a 57 Chevy, side like a 58, rear like a 59.

Hence the designation "789."

Bowling Night

The DC Riders are having a bowling nite on Nov. 14th from 7:00pm to 10:00pm, at Wilson's Bowling Center, Conway, Digby Co., NS.

The cost per person will be $10.00 (this covers all the bowling we can do between 7 and 10, and shoes, taxes included).

Hope that you will be able to make it, and you can bring guests with you if you like. If possible just email me back with the number of people attending.

A great evening of entertainment . . . guaranteed!!! . . . got to be, Tony Chute is going.

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.

CHECK THIS OUT!!! MADE BY AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON.
LOOK AT HIS HANDS AND FEET. THIS IS AMAZING!

This guy has far too much money and time on his hands…

How would you like to see this coming at you in the rear view mirror?

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.
