Well, have you planted your turnips? You're supposed to plant them on July
25th rain or shine. I know Carl has his planted and is ready. Also, you can wait
until late August or early September to plant winter wheat or clover. I know
you're thinking I have lost my mind ...but... as strange as it might be, fall riding
season is upon us. And during that time the deer will be moving about a lot more
than they are now. Planting turnips, wheat and clover will provide them a good
food source and maybe they will be eating and not on the road while we are
coming home after eating. Maybe… It's worth a try! I could help you harvest
one if needed! 
We, about 15 or 30 of "us" went to the 22 Junction for dinner last Friday night. It
was good to see "old" Larry Ford out and about. He wasn't on the trike because
he broke it, but the corvette sure was looking good. I got harassed for not riding
again, but it's impossible for me to ride and have 2 co-riders, so we were in the
car again. Maybe Haleigh needs her own bike; she is almost old enough for a
motorcycle permit! Remember when she was 4 and started riding with me on
these Friday night rides? Time sure flies by!!
Summer is not over and riding season is not over, so if you have a favorite place
to visit and are going there, let us know, we want to go with you! You never
know you might like the company! AND surely
there will be a place to eat good food and ice
cream!
Keep the shiny parts up!
Leroy
P.S. May God wash Chuck's bike soon!!!
My grass could use the run-off and splatter!

Rider and Motorist Education
From your District Educator ...........................Linda Evans
Did anyone attend any of the classes at the Wing Ding? There were some good offerings. We
weren't there long enough though to attend a class. One of these years, we are going to stay
for 2 or 3 days and take advantage of the seminars.
Meantime, here at home, I have nothing planned at this time. It has been suggested that I do
a team riding short one at one of the meetings so I might do that. Depends on if I am here for
the next meeting--you know we have that baby coming any time now. I will let you know if I will do that at the
next meeting. Otherwise, nothing else is planned. I do have some plans for the winter though.
~Linda

From your MAD Coordinator...........................Linda Evans
At the August meeting we will plan a windshield wash for maybe Labor Day weekend at one of
the rest areas, probably the one at Boonville. So please put that on your agenda, Leroy.
Have a great rest of the summer. ~ Linda

Avon Makes A Tire For Trikes
Tuesday, July 22, 2014 @ 01:07 AM
posted by Canyon Carver
Specially designed for Trikes, the new Avon Cobra Trike, 130/70R18 63V (front) says
it has the perfect choice for the increasingly popular three-wheel motorcycle option.
Made with the exceptional technology that has gone into the development of the other
Cobra products in the line, the new Cobra Trike tire offers a flatter lean profile for
longer wear, better handling and stability.
“Our customers having been asking for a Trike tire for some time, so we’ve developed
the new Cobra Trike to meet the needs of this growing group of enthusiasts,” stated
Ken Warner, VP of Marketing, Avon Tyres. “We want to make sure we’ve got the right
products for our customers to meet the evolving vehicle landscape. This tire is our next
step in product engineering and innovation that’s driven by customer input.”
The Avon Cobra Trike tire is scheduled for availability in July 2014. For more information, visit http://www.avonmoto.com
Recipe of the Month
August is the time for the Missouri State Fair. I think back to when I was growing up; I was involved in 4-H
and every year I would take things to the town fair. I received many blue ribbons and sometimes one or two
of my items were selected to go to the State Fair! I decided that this month I would share my blue ribbon,
prize winning, banana bread recipe. I have been making this recipe for many years and have never had a
flop! I will even share my secret tip for keeping it moist. I hope you all enjoy it! ~Jennifer
Jen’s Famous Banana Bread
Ingredients:
Directions:
½ cup margarine
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
1 cup Sugar
Grease a large (9X5) loaf pan
1 egg
Cream together the margarine and sugar.
3 very ripe bananas
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
3 TBSP milk
Add the egg and bananas, mix till the bananas are smooth
Mix in the milk
Add the dry ingredients; mix until all flour has been incorporated.
Pour into prepared loaf pan
Bake 50 minutes or more until a toothpick
inserted in the center comes out clean.
Ok so here is my secret.....after 40 years of making this recipe.....
It takes usually 60 to 70 minutes for a large loaf. Check with a tooth pick.
When you take the pan out of the oven set it on a pot holder for 5 or 10
minutes. Then take it out of the pan and put it right into a plastic bag. Let it
cool in the bag and then use a twist tie to close the bag. This makes the
bread really moist and easy to slice. Oh, and I never put nuts in it. After
the first day or two ...if there is any left, I store it in the refrigerator.
When I make muffins instead of a loaf, I put them in a container while they
are still warm.
I think this recipe is a winner! Hope you do too!
The State Fair is coming up soon, what a great excuse to ride!
Wing Ding by way of Niagara Falls (cont.)
June 28—It was a warm morning when we met at the Lake of the Woods exit to start our trip to Niagara Falls.
John and Janice Wissinger, Ron and Nancy Smith, Griff Hamlin, Jennifer Murray, and Bob and I (Evans) on 4
trikes and a 2-wheeler took off toward St. Louis. Stopped at an exit on I-370 for breakfast and fuel, then started on east, to 270 where our trike DIED in the middle of the
interstate. Since the bike was dead, so was the CB so we
couldn’t even tell the others why we had to pull over, but we
managed to get stopped. After much discussion and a trip
to a battery plus store, it was determined that our alternator
had failed. So using John’s AAA, (thanks again!!!) we had it
hauled to Niehaus. We tried to convince the others to go on
to our first night’s lodging in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, but they insisted on staying together. So 6 hours and several hundred
dollars later, we were finally on the road. Got to Ft. Wayne
at midnight.
June 29—left Ft. Wayne by 9:00 to get to Lockport, NY. Long trip and pretty warm. Fairly uneventful trip except someone bumped Jennifer’s trailer in the line to pay at the turnpike exit. But, luckily, it wasn’t even
scratched. Trying to get back in the correct lane after that stop was tricky, but we managed although we were
separated by several cars. Griff had a CB but no GPS and took a wrong exit (bad instructions, I think) so we
stopped by the road hoping he would find us. It was really busy for a Sunday late afternoon. So he finally
found his way back and we proceeded on to Lockport. Got to our hotel, had dinner, and relaxed a while. By
this time we had gone over 900 miles.
June 30—In this quaint, lovely town of Lockport, we rode downtown, took some pics, and took a 2 hour ride on a boat on the
Erie Canal, through 2 locks. Actually through the 2 locks twice.
It was very interesting and we learned a lot about the history of
the building of the canal. Great ride.
Then we headed on over to the American side of Niagara Falls
(only 30 miles) where we went to the island in the middle between the falls, call Goat Island, hung out there for a while, took
lots of pics, and walked around. Also we went to another viewing area for more pics. Then we headed over to the Canadian
side and it took us about 45 minutes to get through customs.
We didn’t get searched but we did have to take off our helmets
so they could match our passports with our faces. Found our
hotel, had some dinner, then went over to the falls for the rest of the day and evening. Niagara Falls is absolutely breathtaking. Truly one of Nature’s wonders. We took a tour that went back behind the falls where we
could see the water from a couple of openings that were carved in the rock. It was very interesting. Mostly we
just marveled at the site and took pictures. It was awesome.

July 1—Also known as Canada Day, which is a national holiday, when they became an independent nation
just 157 years ago. We left our hotel around 9:30 after a good breakfast, and started north and west toward
Tobermory. We experienced several frustrations on this part of the trip. First, it turns out that our (Evans’s)
GPS was not programmed for Canada, so Jennifer took the lead, as hers and Wissinger’s both were functional in Canada. Then the speed limit and everything else was posted in kilometers so we quickly learned to convert to MPH. But the maximum speed limit was 80 km and that is only about 50 MPH. And we had heard that
fines for speeding were very stiff. So here we are going 80 kph and everyone else is passing us like we were
sitting still. We thought we would never get to our destination, which was only about 250 miles. But we did
finally make it and stayed at a really cute hotel overlooking the Georgian Bay and the fishing resort of Tobermory, Ontario. The bay is a large opening off of Lake Huron, so there is lots of fishing there. The temperature
was in the 60’s so there was no air conditioning in our rooms, which was fine because it was not needed. We
had dinner at the Fish and Chips Place, and tasted something called “Poutine” which is French fries covered
with brown gravy and cheese. Sounds awful but really was pretty good. Kind of tasted like French onion
soup. And low calorie of course. Good day and lovely drive even though it was slow.
July 2—One of the many highlights of the trip was a ferry ride across the mouth of the bay from Tobermory to
the other side. We lined up for the 11:00 cruise, and discovered that they put the motorcycles on the ferry
first, so they can tie down the 2wheelers in case it gets rough. There
were probably 25 2-wheelers, and our
trikes. The ferry was very large and
even had a bar on it, although it was
too early in the day to enjoy that. Ron
and Nancy said that was the biggest
boat they had ever been on. It was
really a nice trip although it was cloudy
and quite windy on the boat. It is
amazing that you can be on a fresh
water lake and at times can’t see the
other side. Looks like the ocean, but without the waves. We
loved it. So when we got to the other side, we had about 180
miles to our next destination, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. It started
to rain, and apparently the road was pretty dirty because I have
never seen our bikes and trikes so dirty. I mean they were filthy!!
We stopped a few times for photo ops—the country was really
beautiful—and by the time we got to our hotel it was cold and we
were freezing. The temp in the morning was supposed to be 47,
so it was about 55 when we got there. Too cold to give the bikes
a bath. So we were told that a restaurant about 2 blocks away
was nice and not too expensive, so we walked to it and found that
the least expensive entrée was $25. We decided not to eat there.
Unfortunately, there were no other restaurants so we ended up at
an A&W, which was good because they had ice cream!!! Then back to the hotel and to bed.
July 3—mostly a travel day. As we crossed the border into the USA on the bridge, our GPS came back on.
Had to stop and pay the toll and also go through customs and the mosquitos were swarming us. It was incredible. They were hungry!! Fortunately we were covered except our faces, so they didn’t get much. Then
started down to Madison via a scenic route much of which was along Lake Michigan. Stopped a couple of
times for photo ops and rest and food breaks, and pulled in to our hotel in Madison in late afternoon. This hotel even had a shuttle that would take us to restaurants for dinner and come pick us up so we took advantage
of that. And then they all cleaned up the bikes that were such a mess from 2 days before, and fought off the
mosquitos doing that. About 430 miles.
Wing Ding by way of Niagara Falls (cont.)
July 4—off to the Wing Ding where we walked around and visited folks and spent more money. Wissingers
got their helmet intercoms fixed after standing in line for a couple of hours. And Jennifer got the lock fixed on
her trailer at the Hannigan tent. We bought T-shirts and stuff. I worked for a couple of hours at the T-shirt
booth to relieve Diane and Bob
Phelps. Since this was almost
the last day and they had LOTS
of shirts left, they started selling
them for $5. Met up with Theresa and Kevin Bartholmey,
hung out with them. Jennifer
and the Bartholmeys went to
dinner and then went to another town for fireworks. We were
deciding where we wanted to
go and we asked about a couple of places, then asked John if he liked Hooters and his eyes lit up, his face got red and he said YES he
does. It was funny. We did go there, then were hoping to see some fireworks but the mosquitos were so bad
we had to go in. Then a swim and bed. Nancy and I met some folks at the pool from Lockport. Coincidence!!
July 5—starting home. The plan was to drive a while and maybe stop overnight if we got tired. So we started
out and it began to rain when we got into Iowa. And it rained and then it rained some more. We were cold
and wet and miserable. Stopped for lunch hoping it would stop but it didn’t. So we left in the rain, but pretty
soon it cleared up and we ended up coming all the way to Columbia that afternoon. We got home around 7,
about 430 miles again.
Altogether, we did about 2500 miles. Every time we stopped we had to remind Nancy to be sure she had her
wallet, and remind Jennifer to hook up and check her CB. It was a great trip and we had excellent travel companions. We are all looking forward to the next adventure. Wing Ding next year is in Huntsville, Alabama, and
is over Labor Day weekend. So we might come up with something along those lines. Stay tuned. And thanks
to everyone for being great travel buddies.

Tour of Wisconsin
These pictures are of Carl's audition for "The Greatest Show on Earth" which was taken at the Big Top in the Circus
World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin. This was part of our trip to Wing Ding in Madison and we all had a good time.
Carl did a fantastic job just getting picked out of the audience to "participate". People came up to him later and thought he
was in on it and knew what was going to happen. They said "you are a natural" or "you missed your calling".
We lucked out in Wisconsin. We missed all the tornadoes and damaging winds by staying north of Madison at Wisconsin
Dells. We believe everyone enjoyed our rooms at the Indian Trail Motel. The rooms were clean, reasonably priced, and a
good restaurant was within walking distance.
We had the following "W" members with us: Carl Anthony, Marlon Hiller, Steve and Vaona Bledsoe, and Norm and Sandy
Sallee.
The return trips home on Thursday, 7/3/14, started anywhere between 6 am and 10 am so we didn't all travel home together. We had to dodge flooded highways on our way home. Steve and Vaona traveled with Dave and I. We traveled
leisurely and decided to spend the night in Mt. Pleasant, IA and a local resident at a gas station directed us to a great restaurant. If you ever find yourself in Mt. Pleasant, IA and are hungry, find the downtown square and eat at Costas Pizza
and Steakhouse. It was a nice place and they treat you like family.
Dave made lots of new friends from other states at Wing Ding. We did lots of shopping and a little buying. The venue was
nice but we saw that vendors were down considerably from previous years.
