Just got back from a great day of riding with Venture members, J. Gorom, SpankyM, Niagara 135, and his wonderful daughter, my co-pilot Taters, along with Valkayre members Big D and Little D, and friends, Don and LouLou. Started off meeting and having lunch at our favorite restaurant in the Southern Tier called "Earls". Proceeded East thru the land of windmills and headed into Letchworth State Park where Niagara 135 met up with his wife who had been camping there. Leaving Steve...Niagara 135 in good hands, we proceeded for ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!!!!. After frozen bananas, custards, banana splits and other dairy treats, J. Gorom led our pack to a wonderful Amish Store selling a variety of Bulk foods, cheese, soups, candy, pies and breads along with various other treats. Guess James thought I was in need of more food. Great Store.....Thanks, James! Heading out with a saddlebags full of food snacks, we followed James north thru the city of Batavia, where he broke off and headed home.... At this point we decided that another refreshment stop was in order, so we stopped. But this time only liquid refreshments....coffee break....what did you think I meant? With coffee in hand and conversation ... the bull flying....we soon headed west toward home. With Don and LouLou safely on their way home and Taters and I tucked in...the only one left riding was SpankyM..... Yes I know the rule about pictures, SpankyM has officially been voted in as group photographer and poster of pictures. I'm sure they will be posted shortly......Our WNY group of riders is getting stronger and (CHUBBIER) and we hope that more Venture riders in the area will contact one of us and join our little group.... Sorry BongoBob and Becky you were away and unable to join us. You were missed.

you never need to appologize here ..thats what we are here for..like one big family....since i retired from the sheriffs department...i took a job with the state working with a state supreme court judge...these things all take time ..i know how frustating it may seem to you...but when the end result finally happens it will all be worth it..any good judge will dot all their i"s and cross their t"s to insure the defendant is given due process..not what you want to here, i know.. But you dont want him to get off on some stupid technacality..do you?. I know how frustrating this my be for you,but trust me it will all work out. Yes it will take some time , so hang in there ok....and yes some judges posTpone cases to play golf...but thats better than having him at work when he doesnt want to be there...then every one pays..am praying for you and yours..
