Why we do M&G...

Memories with people we like to be with. I'll be back. Just a conflict this year.

Some just fall asleep in their car and leave the radio on all night and have to get a jump start in the morning to get to the airport to catch a flight to California.

That would have been me

We lost our sheep this year too.

I thought our jet-ski pilot might have got it last year, but not sure.

Don't think anyone would have been on the list for this year.


Oh wait,
unless you count the same pilot that wasn't sure of the mechanical workings of a kick stand.

A few rambling thoughts on Celina.
I have been to 2, 2016 and 2017. The main reason I went to my first one was to buy a raffle ticket for the road star being raffled off. I didn't feel comfortable buying on the internet from people I didn't know. Well I bought a ticket and didn't win so I was kinda bummed out. So this year I decided to buy more tickets but couldn't find anybody sell them. I had met this guy named Warden so I mailed him an envelope full of cash for my raffle tickets. Well turns out there was not a raffle this year and I heard something about him opening some kind of custom motorcycle shop. As those of y'all who have met me you know I am full of shit so don't believe any thing I have said so far in this post.

All kidding aside the Celina M&G is a great event. Nothing but good folks from both the Eagles Club and the Clinic. Over 900 miles one way, so it does cost me money and time, but as my old granny used to say " You have to spend money to make friends" or something like that.

As for the rides on long straight roads, unlike in the mountains, ain't no damn bicycle or lawnmower gonna pass me.

I've been to all of the Midwest M&Gs but the last 2. The reason I went to them was,it gave me a different destination to go to each time, and meet up with like-minded folks who enjoy motorcycling. I went to 2 of the Celina M&G. While fun, it's still a 13hr+ ride to go where I've seen already. Also, grandsons b-day is the 25th and my son can't go due to the date conflict. My other son and nephew who went with me sold their bikes, and I'd rather not ride that far alone.

We'd ride with you Don! But I agree, to a different destination.

I've been to all but the first M&G prior to Celina, saw the coronation(and deflowering by hotdog)of the sheep(RIP Jona), and the first one at Celina. While I had a great time there and the Eagles were incredible hosts, I didn't go back for the same reason many have mentioned. Repeated location. We've met a lot of super people from the Clinic and made new friends a the M&G's. However, we have limited time off each year and enjoy seeing different sights around the region.

Ride safe.

Damn pebble.
And even some of the eagles agreed that with our issues in September it needed to die.

I don't know,
I'm thinking the sheep should stay on as a Celina original, with all M&Gs doing their own thing.

Not too shabby when only a pebble wins the sheep for a trip.
