Rides from the past!

Mary from Perry

The was Mary's little brother's bike in 1979.  Mary learned to ride on this 1971 Yamaha 125 or 175, her memory is a little foggy on the size.

This is the first Yamaha XS650 Mary had (while in college), about 1982.
Thanks for the great photos Mary.

This is Anne's brother on his 1977 GoldWing in about 1979. James has since given me the bike and now Anne wants me to put it back on the road this year. Terry Sanderson

RiverCity Ramblers
'09 Four Flags Rally Report

Dear T-Town Tiddlers,

Howdy, Tiddlers. Our brothers, the RiverCity Ramblers, rode the '09 Four Flags Rally off into the pages of memory on Saturday (9/12/09). A few would-have-been participants may have been discouraged from coming by a forecast of less-than-perfect weather, and for that we are sorry, but forecasts of imperfect weather being so commonplace in Oklahoma and the task of reorganizing and repreparing for a second attempt being the considerable work that it is, we just don't postpone a ride based solely on the strength of an Oklahoma weather forecast. As it turned out, Saturday was a nice day in Four Flags country, and the intrepid eight Ramblers who rode had a great, almost trouble-free ride, with no serious problems. We were happy to have Randy Buterbaugh of Rogers, AR, a friend of Sharon and Larry Newstrom, join us for the first time. As always, we are deeply grateful to our sag wagon driver, who in this case was Greg Mills of Okmulgee. He did have one customer, and unbelievable as it may sound, he came back with a Suzuki S32-2 on his trailer. They are one of the most unbreakable bikes ever built, and its owner insisted that the problem was more of a misunderstanding between the bike and its rider than an actual breakdown, and this reporter can testify that the bike was still running when it was loaded onto the sag wagon. The Ramblers made visits to the largest Renault salvage in northeastern Oklahoma; Van's Steakhouse in Baxter Springs, KS, for lunch; the historic Rainbow Bridge on Route 66 just west of Baxter Springs; and the Town Hole Park on Indian Creek in Anderson, Mo. Ken Johnson of Catoosa won the People's Choice Trophy for riding his beautiful 1974 Honda CB450. He also won a vintage bike trivia contest. Larry Newstrom won the trophy for riding the oldest bike, his 1965 Yamaha YDS-3. Kevin Burrus of Tulsa rode his Honda MT125 and thereby won the trophy for riding the smallest bike. Leslie Robinson of Okmulgee won the trophy for traveling the farthest to participate. A few pix from the ride are below.

FALL RIDE RESCHEDULE: In a previous e-mail I announced that the T-Town Tiddlers Fall Tour would be on Saturday, October 31, 2009. Someone more alert than me has since pointed out that that will be Halloween Day, and because some folks have family or party plans on that day, we have rescheduled our fall ride. It will be on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2009. We are still working on route details, and an e-mail announcing the time and place for the start will follow in the next week or so. We've had a history of great weather on the first Saturday in November, so hopefully that trend will continue. Hope to see everybody there!
Sincerely,

Larry Williamson
