My new friends Maria and Rick are two of the nicest people. They had the RV set up for 6 people. It is a real roomy and lovely place. I got all my laundry done, and blogging and stuff. Packed and repacked the bike. I have decided to send the extra MM luggage home with Rob, he leaves tomorrow. I was not liking the extra weight at all. Today I rode with out it, and it felt so good I decided to let er go.. like LD said... anything you dont have you don't need and if you do ... buy it.. I have been wearing mostly conga shirts or pink, so byby to the rest. Motorman, you'd be proud of me. you always riding on my shoulder ya know.
I'm riding damn good too. :0) I did a couple little show's in a couple parking lots for my new friends, and of course talked RLAP alot. Don't be surprised if you get some new clients. There is a bunch of fairly new riders,. and they were dead interested in your dvd. I was handing the cards out and doing my speel to everyone that donated.
Maria was puting on a barbeque in memory of her mother whom passed away of Cancer. She told me, every penny was going to the Conga fund. It was from 11-3 in the afternoon, and then we were all to go for a nice ride. She was apologetic as she said she hadn't organized it very long. I couldn't believe she was doing it for us.. I only met this couple in Mexico for about 1/2 hour this winter. We had talked Conga, and they had told me, they lived in Milwuakee. About 2 weeks ago, she emailed me and askedd if it was still on.. I was thrilled and she had room for at least 6 ppl.
As it turned out it was just Rob and I.
Anyway at barbque, I decided to pull out all the tshirts I had picke up along the way from the HDships.. Patches pins, that me and Louise donated.. conga bracelet, and the feathers that Priss and the gals made.. also the magnets from MOchrome.. Whelp... 450 bucks later goils... it is donated today.. Wasn't it a party!!
Later there was 12 bikes altogether. I was the only female who rode her own. I can honestly say, these people were awesome, and I felt like I had know them for years. It was magic.. Bikers are magic, we are all one big happy family. From state to state, in never ceases to amaze me how eveyone is so kind and helpful and caring. We were hugging and giving well wishes, come back soon Flo... Next year I want to ride alot longer in the Conga.. Milwuake said, if the Conga comes again this way, that will be a huge fundraiser.. I personally thought it was huge!!
One complaint about Milwuake.. it seems every road, needs fixin.. Some rough roads round this here area.. yoik.. Did alot of swerving in and out.
Maria says next year she is riding for sure... she has had a bike but doesn't feel comfortable enough to hit the streets or heavy traffic.. I will be sending them the dvd... Ya'll know the one ;)
Thanks so much Maria and Rick for everything in Milwuake..
I am sure I am missing alot of detail, but my eyes are hanging once again, and I am off to Conga with Jazzygirl and the gang in Prairie de Chain tomorrow, Hitting the road at 9 am.. If you want to see pics go to Facebooke......flo fuhr vanisladyriders@live.ca
