Alaska Run, Padre's Run and More

The NLMC Alaska Run started Saturday, June 28th @ 8.OO AM. Departing from the Shack Restaurant in Niantic, our hearty crew of mad cap adventures ventured out In The Wind seeking new adventures and bragging rights for the longest club sponsored ride in the club's history. Follow their journey by checking out our web site:

Sunday, June 29th, brought us to Padre's Ride. It began at the Church of The Holy Family,

Rt. 85, Hebron, CT. A memorial mass was held before the run, which left at 11:30AM. Approximately 65 miles over rolling, country roads, followed by a good barbecue, made for a really great day. This ride was escorted by State Police Motor Patrol officers. If you want to know what it is like to handle a large bagger right, watch these guys. They know how to do it right.

I started a blurb about motorcycles I rode over the years. I will continue with this and keep you informed of upcoming events. I have to admit, it's been hard pounding the keys while watching my bros get In The Wind. Well, tomorrow, I see the orthopedic surgeon and hopefully get out of the cam walker that's keeping me out of the saddle.

I can't wait.

Ronster's Back

To say the last two weeks have been frenetic for the old Ronster, is an
understatement of major proportions!


Sherry's youngest daughter and her two beautiful granddaughters (1 yr old and 3 yrs old) are now sharing domicile with us. It's great to again hear the laughter of kids
playing, fussing and just being kids. It's just tough to get anything done! The
youngest like to sit on my knee, grab my beard with both hands and try to say,
"Giddy- Up Gran paw!" At least that's what I think she's saying.


Things are hopping at the New London Motorcycle Club. Now that the season is in
full swing, members are getting together and theirs always some one to ride with 7
days a week!


Recent rides included a run to the Oxford Diner in Oxford, Mass. This is the home of
the largest breakfast served on the eastern seaboard. Once you leave this
establishment, you may not want to eat for days! Last weekend's ride to the Mohawk
Trail was shortened because of foul weather. Yet, many riders showed up and
enjoyed their time out on the open road.


Last week, we sent one of our own to war. Jamie is headed to Kuwait to service
helicopter rotors. 30 club members took time off their jobs to stand in the PGR flag
line to see him off. How great it will be when we welcome him back!


There will be a cook out at the club house tonight. Come, enjoy and bring a side dish!


Now that I have the keyboard warmed up again, you'll be reading about more club events and the resumption of the Guzzi Log: 42 Years Going Deaf In the Wind.
