Good day for a ride with purpose.. Brian and I had a good breakfast at Joe's Coffee Shop about 8 AM and then I meandered over to Cow Town .. Settled in early enough and there was plenty of parking to go around.. Not many of the bikers showed up .. Pretty good crowd there today and I didn't count noses but I guesstimated something like through the day, about 300 coming and going.. give or take.. Senator Royce led it off and kinda brought everyone up to speed on our state house affairs.. Roberto Alonzo, another of our state senators followed him and my only regret was that I didn't vote for him during his election.. Damn.. like an idiot I supported his opponent in that race, Domingo Garcia.. Never do that again.. Holy cow... Ol' Sputnik was on fire today .. He done a "barn burner" .. again.. LOL.. When and if we lose that one, we have lost another champion.. Then .. Mike Alvey did his part and he and the wife really contributed to his event.. Thanks to them both.. Elmer McKeeghan, my old friend was on the front row.. You GO, Elmer.. Quite a few other of the biker bros and sisters were there.. I know them but the names escape me.. All in all, this event wasn't huge, but, it was successful and enthusiast.. Maybe next time.. more of our biker friends will understand how much these people do care about issues that affect us all ...Thanks again for all who contributed the the event... Your friend in Irving Bill Walker
