The Colonel’s Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Good “Saturday!” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse,” and all great connections. Welcome to the weekend from the “Eagle’s Nest” on the road for “RIPRIDE4Vets 2021” in Belmont, NH! — 12 June 2021!
Day 10 is in the history books– Left New York City and almost lost the bike in some the potholes going North and then some pretty rugged highway that is in some desperate need of repair until I got into Connecticut and Rhode Island. O rallied with the Nam Knights and Rolling Thunder Riders right across the state line in Massachusetts and they escorted me to the Elk’s Lodge where Sgt Kerry Harkins out on an awesome show with all the riders, great food, some awesome donations. The Nam Knight and Rolling Thunder Riders escorted me to the New Hampshire border and then I was off to Alan Korb and his wife Stevie’s house for the evening. We had a great dinner at Furtellos Italian Restaurant. (See Pictures Below)
Day 11 of 21 will be a ride out to Portville, NY where I’ll be meeting a veteran Randy ‘Tank’ Wilber for dinner and spending the evening.
Today’s Message is: “Fairness Day!” Why Not?
