Signs of Spring
The buds are swelling on the trees
and the raptors are nesting. Throttle hands are
twitching all over northern Michigan.
Yup...spring will soon be here.
There are quite a few motorcycle
related events happening this year in
Michigan and around the country. We don’t
care what you ride. Join us in the wind
whenever you can.
Of Special note to the Northern
Chapter are:
Sunday of Memorial Day weekend (May
25th)when David and I host the 4th annual "Q In Da Woods". AND
2MICH (Meet Me In Copper Harbor)Ride-In
July 11th - 14th
A quick up-date in case you missed
it; Bill Bunker has resigned as the Michigan state representative to
happily pursue a life. He’s don a great job in
leading
Michigan to become the largest and perhaps most active
chapter in the country and that’s no lie. Bob
Tasior has agreed to step up to the plate in Bill’s stead.
Joe Errante has agreed to take on the duties of the
Tri-Cities Chapter leader.
So here’s an up-dated organizational
listing with primary contact information. Although a few chapters
have co-leaders or ride captains that information is not contained
here for simplicity’s sake. The information has
been color-coded to match the Events Calendar below almost all of
the work on which was done by Tony Z (thank you, Tony!).
Events in black are national and/or not sponsored by any of
the Michigan Chapters.
