In this new department, we plan to include some of the many photos we receive each month that do not necessarily fall into the other departments we’ve established over the years.We understand that, as one large family, we often have more to brag about than just our bikes. So here’s your opportunity to share those accomplishments (and just plain fun anecdotes) with the entire Association! Send photos and text to “Bragging Rights,” Wing World, P.O. Box 42450, Phoenix, AZ 85080-2450 or by email to editor@gwrra.org. A Little Cold Weather Won’t Stop Us! Chapter V in Wisconsin never lets a little thing like cold weather stop them! This picture was taken during an Ice Cream ride on March 12, 2006. The shot was taken on the edge of Partridge Lake in New London, Wisconsin, and, if you look to the left of the Gold Wings, you can see ice fisherman. “We weren’t sure who was more crazy, us for riding our Gold Wings in the 36 degrees F weather or the ice fisherman who were walking on the ice near open water,” one rider said.. Mark Traxler GWRRA #175655 Appleton,Wisconsin Of Palaces and Hooches... It’s just a shame I can’t go out and see Iraq. The IZ is more like “Little America.” I go to work, go to the PX, that’s it. KBR is the biggest and only contracting firm here. They provide food and laundry services and many other support functions.They prepared a sumptuous feast for Thanksgiving. They had some live music and a wide assortment of food and sweets. I received a package from the GWRRA Home Office filled with goodies, munchies and a T-shirt. I want to express my gratitude to your staff for being so thoughtful. My one-year tour will be complete in May 2007, but I have requested to extend my tour one more year. Nick W. Sheldon GWRRA #120542 U.S. Embassy Baghdad My Other Scoot his is my other “Tscoot,” writes Jerry Brandt, GWRRA #111291, of Janesville, Wisconsin. “I purchased this 1984 Honda Spree used in 2000,” Jerry continues,“and its 49ccs of fire-breathing, 2-stroke power, with 7,380 miles on it!” Jerry says he took the photo in Holcombe, Wisconsin. By our estimation, Jerry must ride the Spree quite a bit, since Holcombe is over 250 miles from Janesville. Jerry Brandt GWRRA #111291 Janesville,Wisconsin. Trikes to Soon “Run Over” Mail Here in the Embassy Palace, I work primarily with administrative functions. I work with CODELS (Congressional Delegations) and VIP visits. President Bush gave us a surprise visit in June! It was great for morale. Many politicians want to come here for a “photo op” and to see how the taxpayers’ dollars are spent. Besides work, I go to the gym, read books and watch DVDs on my laptop in my hooch (half a trailer). At least I don’t have a roommate! Occasionally, I’ll hear the siren to “Duck & Cover” during an attack in the IZ (International Zone). If I’m outside I’ll run to the nearest bunker and wait for the “All Clear” message.After Saddam’s guilty verdict, there was a lot of celebratory gunfire. One of the bullets penetrated my hooch through the roof while I was at work. I will wear it as a necklace as a souvenir. It’s all part of the “charm” of living here in Iraq. Notice how the upper right-hand corner of this envelope has a “postmark” of a Gold Wing trike This is only a prototype art of what the real cancel, to be issued May 5, 2007, will look like. An “official” United States postmark cancel using a trike has never before been issued in the entire U.S.! So this is a true first and a rare bird. Since May is National Motorcycle Awareness Month, Chapter NC- V would like to inform the motoring public that it’s riding season again 22 Wing World
and more motorcycles are on the roads—so drive “Aware of us.” Anyone interested in this cancel, please contact us at: POB 6554, Statesville, N.C. 28687-6554. David & Linda Smith GWRRA #59445 Statesville, N.C. Centenarian Still Wants A Ride! This photo of me and my Aunt Kathren East was taken after I rode my 2003 Candy Red Gold Wing over 1,000 miles from Alamogordo, New Mexico, to St. Louis, Missouri, just to see her. She was 101 at the time of the photo and is now 102! My aunt said that she wanted to take a ride on the Gold Wing but, unfortunately, she had incurred an injury just before I arrived. However, she asked me to come back this summer and perhaps she’d take a ride then. I hope and pray she will still be with us when I make my return ride to see her this summer. Scott M.Tippin GWRRA #226356 Alamogordo, New Mexico Reaching the 100K Milestone George Blum, GWRRA #46163, from Chapter H in Wisconsin, wanted to reach a milestone with his 1997 Gold Wing before putting it away for the season last year. He did so on October 30, 2006, just outside of Madison, Wisconsin, even though the temperature was cool—after all, he had only needed 138 more miles! Blum says that only one seat was worn out during his 100,000-mile quest.Time to break open the champagne! Mary Lou Kavon GWRRA #46163-01 Verona,Wisconsin. ● May 2007 23
