More Friends.. Canadian Friends!

This is Jenn/Dragon. Her siggy pic tell who she is. I have only met the Dragon, once in person. She is a cool lady!! A doer!! Definetley loves to ride. She belongs to VILR also. Dragon is trying real hard to get down south across the board somewhere to meet me Panzer and his wife. Of course ride back with us to the Island. Here's hoping she can make it!!

Panzer!! Western Canada Regional Officer of SCRC.

Panzer and his wife Sandy will be Goin with the Flo also.

I have never met Panzer, but have found out, he truly is a fabulous person. SCRC should be honered to have him.
He stepped up out of the blue to give me some great advice about how to ride in the condition I will be riding in. Then before ya knew it, he was riding all he way to Albquerque to help escort me, and take me to places I have never before.

Like Route 66, ya'll heard of that before. The Grand Canyon!! Las Vegas.. okay he is a gambler, no problemo... He has offered to donate half his winnings to the Charity of my choice, that Mark/Spyderman,chapter 394 has initiatied. Let's hope we win and don't loose our asses.
Panzer has made up a map of the trip for all to see. I am so excited about those roads, and he will escort me to the Sumas Boarder.
Oh, the comeradery of bikers!!! I asked him if he was planning a trip down this way anyway.. He told me... No.. just always looking for a good excuse for a ride!!



Okay ya'll.. This is Mz Willi.... I have to say she is the first internet friend that is doing the Conga with me for sure, that I have already met.

This chickie made her way all the way to Mexico to meet me. Now I know she had better things to do than come all that way to meet me but that is where we first met. Actually that is the only place we have met other than on VILR She is a regular even though she doesn't live on the Island.

Actually she has met more girls from the Island than I have already. She is a real assett to the forum. She helps me keep it alive.

Willi has offered to meet me at Sumas boarder, take me into her home for the night, depending on the time frame, or just ride me to the ferry. She knows now more than anybody, that I am a scaredy cat chicken assed rider,especially in heavy traffic. I am impressed that she rides from Mission to Vancouver Island alone. So what the HELL AM I DOING?? Hopefully by time I get there, I will say...follow me Mz Willi.

Even tho Willi does not live on the Island she has mangaed to get over for the grlz weekend in PA, last week. I am proud to say, if she hadn't found VILR maybe that would not have happened. Love ya Willi!!!!! You Rock!! See ya in June!!

More internet Friends I will meet and ride with!

Trip with Monte The most direct route is but I will find a route that keeps us off the high-speed roads. Looks like one night just east of Amarillo; the next night in Albuquerque & the 3rd nigh in Flagstaff. Averaging 400 miles a day.


This is Miram will meet me in Greenville, Mississippi and take me to her home Sarepta, La. She says it's only claim to fame is one stop light and home of Tracy Atkins..Then to Monte's in McKinney, Texas. Sounds like a cute little town. One traffic light. My kind of traffic!!Miram has sent me a care package to DonnatheDoc's house. Two harley helmets, pair of leather pants, and boots. Thankyou my friend, you are very kind and generous. I'm fillin your gas tank and buying lunch!



Sunflower is from NG. I have know her along time on WWR. She is one of the first gal that I really got to know there and have talked for long time about wanting to Slay the Dragon. I'ms so happy we will finally get to do it, and she will be at the pj party at Holls.




This is Beth and Danny. She is a regular on WWR also. Not sure exactly where she be riding with us, but plans to hook up with us somewhere along the way.




Gypsie and UEee they are from NC , I believe and will be spending a fair bit of time riding with them doing the Dragon spending at night at their place. Can't really remember who is talking me where and when other that we are headed the Dragon Friday 23.



That's MoChromE on the sister bike of mine. We will be travel to Chattanooga and Nashville and where ever the roads take us in between. I do believe she knows the big Flea Market that we just HAVE TO GO TO! LOL
We are going to be twins!
She will be meeting me and the Dragon Slayers from North Carolina at Monteagle, TN on Sat. May 24. We'll then ride on to Murfreesboro, TN and then to her house at Bon Aqua, TN. Free to do whatever we want on Sunday. She lives west of Nashville, but if we want to see some Nashville sights, we can do that on Sunday. We will head west Monday, May 26th and go to Greenville, MS, on the Mississippi River, where we'll meet up with Miram. She will take me into Arkansas and then to north Louisiana to her house for the night. I think we'all will head out Tuesday for Dallas area where we'll connect with Monte. She sure would like to go ar least as far as Dallas with us, but that dreaded 4 letter word called "work" says otherwise! LOL



This is Hippie John and Becky. HippieJohn is a regular Cabana Boy on WWR. I believe Becky is the silent one. I dont remember talking to her. I sure look forward to meeting them. HippieJohn works for the Palladinos. and is one of the intructors. He says he's gonna have me Riding Like a Pro before I leave and get me on of those fancy pics like his leaning over the way it does.

Here is Steph....Nice ride!! It is sister or brother bike to mine. It also belonged to the Palladio's and get my bike company until she bought it just recently. Check out that grin.. I wont be riding with Steph but will meet her in the office as she also works for the Palladinos.

Friends I have only met on line but will meet soon!

Here we have Mr. and Mrs. Wolfie. Now I am not sure where they got the knick, but I could take a guess...Wolfman...lol
They own North Georgia Leathers This site is well worth checking out if you are looking for some hot biker stuff of any kind. Holl will be sure to take care of you.She even calls you to double check on sizes etc. You'll love that southern twang too.
I first met Holl on WWR forum. She used to give road reports and was one of the high chatters...(sorry Holl) but guess who chatted the most this month...yup Flo!She always talked about Slaying the Dragon and riding it with Donna and Jerry. She actually dropped her bike right in front of Motorman. (sorry Holl).Oh and who is the dude in the Do Rag??? He is one of the Cabana Boys on WWR... Oh wait a minute, that is Wolfie with a haircut!!!! Cleans up well don't he?? Apparently he looks like the first pic again, so I will be packing a pair of scissors with me to give the man a haircut so Holl doesn't make me sleep on the floor. I have to earn my keep. I will be staying a night there after doing the Dragon!!


Holl and Wolfie have started a Where's Flo contest?? They are going to donate a leather coat to the person who helps me out the most getting me home and in the right direction. Also they are giving me a leather coat for having the balls to do it...lol I do believe those were her words. How kind is that??

Oh I forgot to mention they have this Driveway of Doom she calls it. Who ever makes it up her drive way on their bike gets a patch DOD! Got me a little worried. I wouldn't want to put my Queen down but I am sure I can do it after hanging with the Palladinos.

Not sure how many gals and guys will be there. I think there will be Mr. and Mrs. Wolfie, Sunflower, Gypsie, UEee, and me. That could change too. Doc was going to be doing it with us, but now things have changed. Should be a good pj party.

So meeting these internet friends doesn't sound so scary does it?? Heck Holl and Wolfie met on the net and have been married for I think 4 years.

Cant wait to meet the Wolfies and get a DOD PATCH! Of course give the man a haircut!!

The Palladinos!!

This is Jerry Motorman Palladino and his lovely wife DonnaTheDoc Palladino. These are the people that I will be staying with when I reach Florida. Donna is picking me up at the airport in 4 days.. I bought my bike off her. They are an amazing couple in so many ways. The fact they would take me into there home.. I totally feel honored.
Most bikers know who they are and have bought thier DVD'S on learning how to ride. They teach classes. Rather than me try to explain ...here is their site.


Ride Like a Pro It pretty much explains everything, has tons of info, lots of pictures. You can order the DVD'S. I can't believe I am actually going to be able to see one of their classes. I will be helping sell the DVD'S. They have told me, they won't let me leave until they are sure I am comfy on my new Ride.

They are so busy it is hard to imagine they would even want to take the time to do this with me. Donna also runs 3 forums, WWR Motormans Tips and Tricks and Honda VTX Riders and WWR
Motorman is going to be writing a book soon. Now I don't know Jerry too well but I have found out he is a real joker. He had Doc take a couple of pics on my bike with it's seat that I loved so much, only it wasn't the seat I remembered, so he put on another seat and it was so not the seat I remembered. Had me freekin out just a little as I didn't know how to tell them that wasn't the seat I remembered and where the hell is my seat??? I didn't want to say anything as they have been so darn kind to me. I thought maybe they sold my seat?? Anyway, he had me going!!
Not only is he a joker he is a very kind man. I had a tour pack sent to their house and he put it on for me.
I am a regular on WWR (woman who ride) forum. That is where I found out the bike was for sale.
Now I can say I know Donna and consider her a very good friend of mine. She is an absolutely amazing woman. One of the kindest I have ever met, and I haven't even met her. This lady not only runs the forums, she truly cares about everyone, and is always there to lend a helping hand. She starts fund raisers for people in need she has never met. She gets things done!! I mean heck, all I said to her... That I was thinking about maybe flying to Florida to pick up my bike, but I am a big chicken what do you think?? Before ya knew it..........The WWR CONGA was being planned. The encouragement that I got from her and all the gals and guys on WWR was unbelivable. It took me awhile to decide and commit but with the help of Doc and the gang at WWR.... and of course VILR I finally committed.
You know I could just go on and on about this gal.
Donna was going to Slay the Dragon with us and she bought everyone riding a t-shirt that says.."I GOT ISSUES". That is her favorite shirt so we thought it would be fun to wear them the day of the Dragon. Anyway plans changed and because of Jerry's up coming book she can't make the ride. We are going to have our pictures taken at the Deals Gap sign for her wearing out shirts.

We'll make her proud!!

Slaying the Dragon!!

Slay the Dragon!

So far coming out to play or Slay that day on May 23rd of the Dragon. We have...
Flo, Vi, Mr. & Mrs. Wolfie, Gypsie,UEee, Sunflower,

I am sure that will change a little.

Since I met everyone from WWR about a year ago. I always heard about the gals slayin the dragon and saw these awesome siggy pics of ppl leaning around hairpin curves,scraping the floor boards.
There is no way I would go all that way and not Slay the Dragon. Hope to add a whole bunch of cool pics here in the future.

Doc's favorite shirt is "I HAVE ISSUES"... now she has gone and bought all the gals that are going to SLAY THE DRAGON the t-shirts. Once we get to the end of the road after slayin it. We will have a great photo op!! WWR CONGA GALS HAVE ISSUES!!
We do have a couple of Cabana boys going along for the ride. Wolfie and UEee. UEee is going to lead and Wolfie gonna tail gun.
It has been a blast organizing this trip to the Dragon, the pics will prove it! Sure getting excited now, only days before I leave Mexico and fly to Florida.
