Girls Weekend Bra Free Zone

Dogdrifter/FancyPants/Flo/Tazzie/Blingiton/LD
Fancy Pants/Bling Butt aka Jude, took the lead after the boys left us and went to the Tall Ships. We were off to Jilli's to unload our saddlebags and go find some mini pylons for our RLAP workshop, that we planned for Sunday.

Get some cold beer and let the night begin. We got there with out a hitch. The day was a cooker so the Bra's came off immediately. After all, that is why we were going to get comfy, hang out, do some riding and getting to know each other better.

We checked out a couple of stores and couldn't find any so we went into the Bargain store, and low and behold, Dogdrifter, and Bling it on where in there shopping!! We laughed and giggled and talked about when we would meet later.

All of a sudden I saw this long haired wig. I said the the grlz... hey , we should all get some hair for the party!! Before ya knew it we were having our own little party in the Bargain store.

The clerks were laughing at us, and couldn't believe their eyes. All these middle aged bikers trying on all these different colored wigs. We all ended up purchasing one, after trying the assorted colors. The clerk was taking pics of us and I am sure we made their day.

Fancy Pants, Tazzie, and me, put on our wigs and headed back to Jilli's. There we would wait for the rest to show up in a couple hours.

Can you just imagine the looks we got from the people passing by us!!! We got honks, whistles and thumbs up. I was cracking up in side. After we got off the bikes, I told the girls, hey we looked pretty good....from behind, with all that long hair flowing!!

Jilli's place is lovely, we all had our own room, heck I had my own suite. Treated like Queens I might add.

She had nice snacks put out. A couple more girls arrived. More Vancouver Island Lady Riders. Chris, Jen, and Bonnie. Of course in the end every one had wigs on. The beers came out, so did the camera. Tazzie was singing. Great stories were told.

Ride to Port Alberni

This is my bro BigE and Roy!!! BigE who rides my X, and Roy rides a Vtx too.
We were pretty impressed with Bro he became the road leader and has only been riding for just over 2 months. He lead the pack to PA!!

Our pitstop to pic up the Taz, and there was this guy there that had a bike for sale... Nice, we thought, bigger, and very pretty, and the price is right. They exchanged numbers and she is going to check it out.

Jude/Fancypants/blingbutt/ rode from Courtenay with the boys. Check out the leathers... These leathers have quite the story to them. Anyway, it was so funny, every one started calling her Ladyinred, or Little Red Riding hood. Nope, no can do it is Taken all ready. So I look at her butt and it is so blinged out, I started with Bling butt, or Fancy Pants.

Here we got Hoss, it was the Skull that attracted me.

Roy/Crash/Hoss/BroE/Stephen/Gino
These are the boys that we rode up with when at first me and Fancy Pants thought we were headed to the BFZ. (BRA FREE ZONE) Girls weekend.

It was a gorgeous day for a ride and nice to have 10 bikes on a last minute decision.. Got to love those rides, you just never know who you will be riding with.
We rode to PA and went for a smorgy before we left the guys go off to see the Tall Ships...

Parking lot Practise.

BigE and I had actually planned to ride to Sayward, but on the way in that direction I decided to go into Painter Barkley neighbour hood. Only time I ever lead really is when I am very close to home.
I really enjoy stopping and starting more that just riding in a straight line. I knew he knew something was up when I kept turning, left, then right, then down tho the water and back, and he's giving me the WhAAAT look. Next stop sign, I just said follow me, and off we went to the parking lot behind the old mall.
I had my friend Ada there so she could film us. Pretty funny really. I think Eric thinks the faster he goes with out putting it down the better he is in the slow maneuvers...lmao Okay so his figure 8's are the size of the parking lot... His circles the same... Ha.. he just didn't have Motorman to show him so I thought I would use his skills....YELLING...SNAP YOUR HEAD...SNAP..SNAP..LOOK WHERE YA WANT TO GO.
Too funny, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and realize what a long way I have to go yet to master that bike, or any bike for that matter. I want to do it like the Pro's.. That is really my goal now I think.
I am tired of cutting hair, I was to cut corners... I want to ride like my buddy DonnatheDoc.. I would like to be an instructor some day when i grow up..shit better hurry up on that.
I have ridden 8,500 miles since May 21, ya would think I would have it down perfect. Just goes to show you no matter how long how far you been riding you can always improve your riding skills.
I am now selling RIDE LIKE A PRO dvd's. yesterday in the Barbershop, some guy was asking about it as it is perched up there for every client to see and start asking. Soon as they mention it of course...Boom, off I go on a rant!!
This guys has the balls to say... Ï don't need it girlie..., I been riding for 30 years off and on".....Precisely I said, you probably need it more than most. I asked him the 3 most valuable techniques... Be careful he said...ROFLMAO!!!
Says he will be in soon to buy one!
We are going to Port Alberni today and seeing the Tall ships, having a pajama party at Jilly's place. It is called Bra Free Zone. BFZ Should be good to get to know the gals even better, see some ships, take a ride. The weather is beautiful.
Jilly has asked me to demonstrate picking up a bike, not sure if I can still do it with Motorman not standing there. Again, need practise.

Tuesday night Ride to Parksville.

Again a last minute ride turns out to be a wonderful evening with a bunch of friends, some new ones and some I had met before.
Brother Blingo had mentioned that he was going to Naniamo to take his daughter there. Then plans changed she got a ride. Says, he wasn't going now....

That didn't go over to well with me, and the freekin sun was shining. Who knows when the rain will start again. So ones got to ride whilst the sun shines.
I mentioned that to him on the forum that he agreed, so everyone jumped in and it was great.
BigE/Ada and I rode to CMS, to meet Bling, off we went with Spyderman following , this time Ada, jumps on behind Spyerman, with a huge big grin on her face. She is visiting here from Mexico and thought it was pretty dang cool to ride a Spyder... "It's okay, she says"... Si, Chaquita, no Spider bites here...
We get to Carl, and there is Michael and Bob, and off we go to Qualicum..The FUHR FACTOR leads the pack.
When we get to the Hut in Qualicum, there is Dragon, Taz, Vulcantor.. Eating of course. Vulc, had the best french fries any of us had ever eaten... So we helped him eat them.
Off we went to Parksville water front, Dogdrifter, and the gang were there, some new and some old faces. No one is old lets put it that way.
We all had food and drinks and laughs of course. Hung around for quite sometime.
Time to leave and the PA, gang, followed us down to Qualicum to their turn off. It was a beautiful sight to behold. The sun going down, the lights of the bikes and the huge line behind me. All these new friends, bring shivers to my spine and a huge big grin on my face.
Not bad for a spur of the moment decision on a ride... Ride on!!!
BigE/Ada, and I arrived home at 11pm... I would say we had a great late night. Everyone exhausted, but a good exhaustion.

Monday with Jan and Josie

Jan and Josie rode up from Ladysmith around lunch time. Jan was dying to get her hands on the RLAP dvd as she is needing to brush up on things. She is basically a new rider, after not riding since she was a youngin.
Taz/Jos is just a new rider also and has not got her endorsment yet. She is a riding fool though, an addict!! She came along for the ride and brought that Chesire grin with her.
We only had a couple hours to play as they wanted to get back by dinner time. So we went for a quick lunch and then we headed back down Island.
I have to say, that I was mortified to see Mz Jan arrive in barefeet in sandles!!! Yowser.. not to safe, and especially if there is a bit of a problem keeping your feet on the foot pegs. I told her she was going to get a new knickname soon, that she probably wouldn't like if it didnt change. Of course with a smile. Soon as we arrived at CMS, Spyderman said the same thing...Flo, tell her to get boots on, it is so not safe. I do believe the next time she will have boots on, and her feet up!!
We pulled off the the Driftwood parking lot and had a little parking lot practise with the gals. In a nuts shell, we all need to watch the dvd again, and get that parking lot set up...ASAP!!!
I rode as far as Fanny Bay with the girls and headed back home. Beautiful afternoon!!!

Took my X for a ride.

I finally did it!!! I took my X for a ride when we were at GearJammers.
It has been 4 weeks since I have been home from the Conga. I haven't stop and dropped the Queen since Death Valley, although, I do believe there is people thinking it is going to happen. She is feeling very comfy now. I think I should be feeling comfy, I have 8,000 miles on this season so far.
The saying has been ...STEP AWAY FROM THE X!!! Every time I got close to her. I think it was a very good idea really. Although at times I just wanted to take her for a burn!! I was missing the fit, and the handle bars. I wanted to get the same bars for my Queen.
I wouldn't take no for an answer and I just got on her and went up the road and back. There was no burnin up the road. It was NOT a pretty sight to watch. I can't believe how nervous i was. Heck, I even forgot how to turn it on.
I jurked my way up the road, and couldn't even ride in second gear properly. It was hilarious, I thought to myself, I am not liking this one little bit. These handle bars are stupid!!! I'm going to do a U-turn, and did I ever, about the size of a house!!
When I got back they were laughing at me, and Eric had a worried look on his face like I was going to stop and drop!!
I got off and said....I'm over it... so over it!!! Now I don't even want the handle bars, maybe just some risers. Whew, good thing, I did that, or I would have gone and spent money I didn't need to..
I can honestly say, Iam a Harley Chick now!!
It is hard to describe, but the difference is amazing, and when I go around a corner it is so smooth. I guess its just what you get used to, and now I am..
I love my Skully Queen!!!

Camporee

Great time was had by all. We had a little cabin with very squishy sleeping area. Lots and lots of laughing!!
Sat around the campfire getting to know many more new friends,and putting some faces to names, and knicks.
It is a two nighter but we were only there for a night. I think the pictures will tell it all! And of course the Videos.(will post later)
After the camporee we headed off to Dragon Cycles where they were suppose to have a show and shine. It was canceled, not a problem it was a good day for riding still.
LQ, Slyboy, BigE, Dragon, Flo ... LQ, and Slyboy, left for home, and as usual, the Draggie and us toodled around the area. We called jammer and went by for a visit.
When we left there we headed off to have lunch before departing our ways.
Bro and I stopped of in Coombs to see if we could find a German Helmet. He wants the FUHR FACTOR, to have german helmets..lol
Got home tired and happy, another week of about 500 miles.
