Hey dear friends,
I am the secretary of the newly organized SCCL Riders in SC. We
had our first meeting on November 3rd. I wrote this article
for the clubs' news section if the Sun City Carolina Lakes
monthly magazine - "Living."
The
SCCL Riders Club
Like to motorcycle with a group of fun-loving riders
who sight-see and eat? Try us out! We meet briefly
at 9:00 a.m. on the first Saturday of the month at the
Lake House in the Card Room - and ride! But don't
wait for a meeting to join us, contact Ed Pearl, Jim Abel or
Barbara Zimmerman, and catch one of our rides between
meetings.
The SCCL Riders average twenty-six years
riding experience, ranging from one to fifty
years of riding (two members in the latter category). We
ride a variety of bikes from a lone Beamer and Kawi
to Yamahas and Hondas, which are only outnumbered by HD's
by two, according to our somewhat imprecise stats! (We
have to sit some of our riders down at a table long
enough to complete President Ed Pearl's questionnaires!!)
Our more than able Road Master, Jim Abel, (yup, pun
intended) scheduled our first breakfast ride of the new
year on chilly New Year's Day. Thirteen bikes, some
with passengers astride and four vehicles, including a
Classic Camaro Super Sport, about twenty-five people in all, took
off for a "crisp" ride to JoMar's for breakfast with a scenic
tour back to Sun City. Yours truly, who has been in bed
since Christmas, was represented by proxy by my son from NJ
who thoroughly enjoyed the camaraderie and the ride - frozen
though he was.
We look forward to meeting more riders at our
next meeting on February 7, if not earlier. Keep the
shiny side up!
I'm attaching a picture of the members who went on the
ride this chilly New Years Day in the south - 27 degrees! Billy
really froze! And here's a picture of me too. I
got bronchitis and sinus infestion and have been in bed since
the day after Christmas. I went out to get in the picture
of the SCCL Riders that I asked Billy to take for me. Then
I came home and did the self portrait. LOL!!
Love, Barbara
