Local H.O.G Chapter

Monday, February 20, 2006

In the past I was always hesitant to join the local H.O.G ® Club Whitewater Valley Richmond, IN Chapter #1297, because their events usually took place over the weekend as a two day event or the events took place on a Sunday . . . and it was just hard to fit it in.

Dianne Spillers, who is an employee of the local Harley Davidson store, and an officer of the local HOG chapter informed me, that this year there will be a lot of 'one day' activities. So, . . . she bent my arm and I became a member.

April 1st I will bless the bikes and we will be ready to go!

Sparks Trike Conversions

Tuesday, February 07, 2006
After a 'brief' time off from riding, I think it is time to get the winter-tired body ready for the pick-up of my bike from storage. (Uuuuh - I can't wait . . . but I think I still have to wait until the end of March).

As almost every Saturday, I visit one of my favorite shops: The local Harley Davidson Dealer in Richmond, IN at 2240 Chester Blvd, Richmond, 47374 - (765) 962-0596. The staff is always friendly and helpful and it is a true pleasure to chat and to feel welcome.

A few weekends ago I had asked them if they knew of anyone who would be able to sew a patch on my leather jacket, and they referred me to Mrs. Sparks. So, I brought my jacket and patch there and about a week later I picked the jacket up. Mrs. Sparks did a great job! Then Mrs. Sparks told me about her business and explained to me that she and her husband are doing Motorcycle conversions.

The kit allows you to convert your motorcycle into a trike. And the best thing is, that you can take the kit off and on in about 5 minutes. the kit is manufactured by Voyager (check out the site) and to me it seems to be a great idea (even though I will wait a few more years . . . since I have not reached the age where I need 2 more wheels)

Anyway, if you should be interested I would recommend that you contact "Sparks Trike Conversions" at TrykeBarbie@aol.com. I promise you they are super-nice folks and you'll be happy you did.
