The Countdown is on


Well, the first Canadian Championship of Bike Building is less than 2 days away!

I'm nervous and excited! There is one dark spot in all of this and that is the Mayor of Grande Prairie and the Grande Prairie RCMP.

They are not happy that we are letting everyone wear their club riding gear, they have started posting signs about outlaw colors and making a fuss like we are all a bunch of hoodlums.....
Beaverlodge RCMP have just recently taken over the town of Wembley's policing duties and have had a very high presence in Wembley since they took over a little over a week ago.

I am asking you to be careful - please make sure your gear is legit and watch your throttle hand.
They are going to be out there in full force so DON'T take any chances - please!

I am posting the map of how to bypass Grande Prairie to avoid the worst of it, but remember - the police will be doing their jobs above and beyond because they don't like us, ride accordingly.

Other than that small fly in the ointment, mother nature seems to be smiling, and that's a good thing!
The Championship competition is going to be incredible with builders from New Brunswick, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, the NWT, Alberta and BC competing! Chica, Tom Langton, Heather Ireland and the kids from the Bike Club arrive tomorrow, the press starts arriving tonight.....

Look forward to seeing everyone that can come, its gonna be a blast!

The Pastor's Ass

The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.
The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again.

The local paper read: PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.

The next day, the local paper headline read:
BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR’S ASS

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day:
NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.

The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for$10.The next day the paper read:
NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10 

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild. The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE

The bishop was buried the next day.

The moral of the story is, being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery and even shorten your life. So be yourself and enjoy life. Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll be a lot happier and live longer!
