Well, summer is here in Vegas. It's 110 deg. F during the day. But it's a DRY heat ;). Nighttime is alright for riding though. I am thinking of going up to Alaska for a couple of weeks, just me and Bessie. I've become pretty busy with the outreach and CMA so I don't know if I can get away for that long. I'll keep you posted.

Smitty's lovely family

Plenty of folks turned out for the festivities. Here's Greg sporting a stylish lid.

Rolling Thunder 2006

Flew out to New York and rented an Ultra glide.I rode with the guys from NYC HOG. We went to Rolling Thunder in Washington DC. to honor the veterans. We rode in a parade through the streets of DC and on to the Viet Nam Veterans Memorial. The Wall.

Area 51

Rode out to Area 51. Way out in the Nevada desert, there are tales of aliens and space ships. Actually there is a super secret air force testing facility there (and this little restaurant).

Spirit Filled Service

Laughlin River Run

Here is One Way Brother 'Smitty' helping a guy fix his bike. (He's not really helping, he's just watching). Church in the Wind put up this huge tent for the whole week at Laughlin. Over 300,ooo bikers go to this rally. It's the largest on the west coast. Many souls came to Christ under this tent. Services were held every night.

Christian Motorcyclists Association

The Set Free Servants disbanded so I joined Christian Motorcyclists Association. This group has 116 thousand members all across the world. They are an evangelistic ministry. Here is their set up at the Laughlin River Run. They give out free water and bible tracts. My chapter is called the One Way Riders.

Back to Fremont Street Outreach

Every Friday 6PM Fremont and Las Vegas Blvd. This night we were serving Sandwiches

JB on the phone constantly trying to call Irena

Irena wouldn't answer the phone because the Good Doctor left her alone on Greek Easter. He must have called a dozen times. NO WONDER HE COULDN'T SHOOT STRAIGHT!

Johnny out in the desert with the Glock

Here's Me from 10 Yards

On The Range

Johnny on the range with the instructor watching every move

Front Sight!

Dr Johnny "B" flew out to Vegas and we went to Front Sight Resort. Four days of intensive handgun training in the Nevada desert. Here I am with my Les Baer custom TRS .45 cal and a fine cigar. Johnny is sporting his Glock nine.

In this one, the passenger has to toss a water balloon over the pvc pipe and catch it. We didn't win this event.

Pickle Spit

We had some games at the Easter Putt. This one involves spitting a pickle as far as you can.

Church in the Wind Pastors

A wild bunch of Christians giving Easter service. The guy with his hands folded is Bo Greitz(sp). He's not a member of Church in the wind, but he is a highly decorated war hero and he ran for president a few years back. He has his own radio show in the area and he rides a Harley Electra Glide.

Campsite Easter

Bessie is furthest on the right.

Easter Putt

I celebrated Easter camping out in the desert with a group of bikers called Church in The Wind. Greg and me did all the cooking and we helped put up this tent. We camped from Good Friday till Easter Sunday. Services were held each night under this tent.

Passover

I went to a Passover Sader with my church. The sader was given by Jews For Jesus. Here they do the ceremonial washing of hands.

Dragsters

I volunteered at the Las Vegas Drag Races with a group called Speedway Ministries. Got to see the races for free. I was working as a ticket checker. IT WAS LOUD!

Outreach Fremont Street and Las Vegas Blvd.

Greg heats up a pot of chili.

Pastor Denis Witnessing

It's Been Six Month's Since My Last Post!

In the winter months,I started riding with a group called the Set Free Sevants For Christ. We do an outreach on the Las Vegas Strip to feed the homeless and spread the Gospel. We make hot dogs and chili. Here is Pastor Frank setting up.
