It’s that time once again! The Tribe MC of Seattle will meet at 9 AM at the Factoria Starbucks for a quick coffee and then hit the road for Fall City. We leave at 9:30 sharp, so come gassed up and ready to ride. In Fall City, we’ll connect with the Moyer Foundation Catch a Cure Ride and then head over to Bad Dog’s house in Woodinville for lunch and a bike blessing. Should be a great day! We ride rain or shine.

The Tribe MC of Seattle will be meeting on Sunday 25 April 2010 at 9 AM at the Starbucks in Factoria for our monthly meet and ride. This month we’re planning on taking the ferry to Kingston and riding out to Port Townsend for lunch/brunch at the Spruce Goose assuming the weather holds up. The plan is to leave at 9:30 sharp! Be sure you are fueled up and ready to go so we can make the 10:10 ferry. We meet rain or shine, so if the weather is lousy, we’ll figure out an alternative plan on Sunday morning. Craig and Denise have also invited everyone over on Sunday evening — please let them know if you plan on attending. See you Sunday morning!

28 March 2010 — Monthly Meet and Ride

It’s the pre-Pesach meet & ride! 9AM on Sunday 28 March 2010 at the Factoria Starbucks. No destination in mind yet (and keep in mind that a few of us will probably have to head home early enough to clean out the remainder of our chametz). But before Pesach is always a good time to go dip into some pancakes, waffles, bagels, and other assorted goodies that we won’t get to enjoy over the week that follows.

Wishing everyone a Chag Pesach Simeach and looking forward to seeing you on Sunday.

Comments from Purim Carnival 2010

Bruce and Richard really led the way at the carnival, staffing the booth, taking pictures, and in general, giving everyone a great time. Bruce sent these comments about the Purim Carnival … I thought I’d share them with everyone:

It was definitely fun. You guys should go out and check out the photos I got a couple of families on the bike, the record I think was 4 at the same time.

Best 10:

Best husband comment, “So,” looking at his wife, the answer was obvious and we all know what the question was.
Best kid comment, “What do you do with these?”; Ok, sorry, guys, but the first thing that came to mind was, “Ride it.” Doh…
My favorite mom comment to kid, “No way your climbing on that until I clean you up.” At which point she pulls out a box of wipes and cleans the kid head to toe. Thanks mom, that lolly pop would really had made a mess of things.
Best club comment,”Bruce take off the chaps, they’re not here to see you.” Ok, Ok, I get it, it really is all about the bikes.
Proof Harleys are better. The kids wanted to sit on Richards bike, but mom told them to climb on mine for the photo.
Most embarrassing, couple standing together, “Want your picture with him?” response from her, “No, I would rather have it with a biker.” Hey, don’t believe me, the evidence is on the site….
Lesson learned, check your controls BEFORE you start the bike after something like that. Kids out of control will reset the controls on your bike faster then white on rice. Poor thing would not start when I first got on, and I think I may have blinded the poor person walking towards me…
No matter how hard you try, some kids don’t smile, but the parents (especially the moms) always do when sitting on a motorcycle.
No Richard you can not sell them their stuff back for a ticket and Ned thanks for the sales (big pimp’n).
And Last …
Best comment of the day, “You better enjoy that, because that is as close as your ever getting to one ot those!” can you hear the ego deflating….

By the way, does anyone know how to remove cotten candy after it has been melted on? Did not see a chunk on the cylinder head….

Purim Carnival 2010 Success!

Thanks to all of the members of The Tribe that made our booth at the SJCC Purim Carnival a huge success. Bruce and Richard selflessly rolled in their motorcycles and made lots of kids (and some adults!) very happy with the opportunity to sit on a real motorcycle. Thanks also goes to Ned for decorating our booth. And of course thanks to everyone else who was there to help out — Clive, Lenny, Steve, Neil, Craig, and Doug. All in all, a very successful day — we definitely showed our colors to the community and they were really glad we were there!

And welcome to Craig and Denise — our newest members of The Tribe MC!

28 February 2010 — Ride & Purim Carnival

jeff — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:57:41 +0000

It’s time for the monthly ride, but this time with a little community outreach. The Tribe MC will meet at 9 AM at the Factoria Starbucks as usual, for a bit of coffee and a short ride. From there, we will head over to the SJCC on Mercer Island where we will be running a booth at the Purim Carnival! The Tribe MC will have a couple of bikes at the carnival for the kids to sit on and get their picture taken. This is a great opportunity to be out in the community and let them know all about us! Please be there!
