Hi Riders…it’s time to air up those tires and put on our helmets; let’s go on a Road Trip!
Jefferson Texas is having their Heritage event on May 6th, 7th, and 8th. At least 3 motorcycles and a van are leaving from the Houston area; so it’s not too late to “sign up”. Be safe, and join the fun. Stan Hutchison; Chief Sand Turtle, (713) 306-3494
