Our Gator family mourns the passing of Richard 'Dick' Menke from injuries suffered in an upstate New York accident. A 'seasonal' member, Dick was always active, both as a member and Road Captain. He was our 2025 Annual Milage Champion.  Riding was his true passion and he enjoyed a long and storied history of motorcycle adventures throughout the North American continent. The Chapter sends our condolences and love to Ron & Janice, as well as his children and family members in New York State.

20 Members joined Director Bob on a Father's Day visit to the Harbour Chase Senior Living Center in the Villages, answering the facility's request for an event to enrich residents afternoon with a step into the 'Wild Side'. Although the temperature was extreme, the smiles and enthusiasm shown by the attending residents made the visit a memorable ride for our participating members.  For an hour or so, residents lives and imaginations were expanded.

CONGRATULATIONS to Ron and Janice Menke on the completion of the very difficult 50 Rides - 1 Nation Challenge! Many years of combine efforts are now complete and the Challenge Coins for each state are now family heirlooms.  A real testament to dedicated goal achievement and enjoying a shared passion. Great people can achieve great goals!

 We greeted 6 NEW members to our 70+ attendee February Chapter Meeting! You can tell by looking......they will be a rowdy bunch...and fit right in WELCOME ...Al - Valarie - Wendy - Rita - Gary and Angelo

Our inaugural 'Challenge' featured 28 hearty souls who completed the 500 mile/24hr road trip.  Temps on the outbound putt were delightful (in the mid 60's). However, Mother Nature set the temp on the return to 33 degrees -   yielding a wind chill of 10-11 degrees til noon!  All part of the 'adventure'. Great route...fun destination...good food and fellowship.

The Ladies of Harley enjoyed great food and lively conversation today at the Hurricane Grill in Tavares...the temperature snuck up to the mid-60's with bright sunshine. The February meeting is scheduled for Monday, February 9th @ 6PM.    Check the calendar for specifics...or email Carla T at:  [email protected]
