Every year at the River Run we take an afternoon and go over to this old age home. We have lunch with the folks and take the opportunity to share our faith with anyone who will listen. Afterwards the folks come out and sit on the bikes for some pics. They get all jazzed up and put on temporary tattoos and biker attire for the event. It is my favorite part of the weekend.
Al and Fern Come to Vegas Finally!
About five days after I returned to Vegas, Al and Fernanda came to Vegas for a visit. This time he borrowed my second bike and we went touring California for a couple of days. San Diego, L.A.. We also hit the Laughlin River Run.
Here we are in the Grand Canyon. We took a helicopter down to the bottom and hopped on this boat down the Colorado River. We also went on that new Skywalk. Save your money the skywalk wasn't that exciting and it was overpriced at $30 for a five minute walk. The Chopper boatride were fun though.
While in Cali, I went into a prison ministry called Bill Glass Weekend of Champions. All together we have about 400 volunteers to go into the prisons. Bikers rode their bikes right into the yards of various prisons. Over 2500 people came to know Christ that weekend. Praise God!
Al and Fern toured L.A. while I went to Fresno Prisons.
Al Buys A Second Bike
Al bought the 2000 Roadking you see in the foreground from Barry who is the guy on the left.
After Keystone I flew out to NY for some spring riding. We affectionately call the new scooter "five oh". It is a police edition. Here we all are taking a ride out to Montauk. We stopped at our favorite diner in Babylon, Glen's Dinette.

ET Race
Here me and Glenn take the estimated times of the racers. In the ET class, each racer states his estimated time to finish the quarter mile.
The starting tree is then adjusted so both bikes are even. In other words the slower bike starts first.
This way a regular gas bike can race against an alcohol bike. Some bikes get a one or two second head start. The only catch is if the racer finishes faster than his estimated time he is disqualified.
These times are accurate to the thousanths of a second.
All Harley Drags
CMA volunteered at the AHDRA All Harley Drags held at the Strip in Vegas Speedway.
We had church service on Sunday morning in the grandstands.
We gave water to the riders while they were waiting in the staging area and we helped out around the track.
We had a bunch of bike blessings and a few people came to know the Lord. Praise God!
