It’s always a sad day when a Brother is leaving a Chapter for another. Our loss their gain. Fair winds and smooth seas Brother.

We have an Annual Event known as the Bunny Run. The goal of the Bunny Run is to provide Easter Baskets to the children and their siblings who happen to find themselves at Marry Washington and Fort Belvoir Hospitals. These pictures show us setting up to ask for donations to help purchase the baskets. You can help us with the purchase of Easter baskets by visiting our donation page and selecting PayPal.

One of the facilities that we have within our area of operation is the Armed Forces Retirement Home. Established in 1851, AFRH Washington has seen many changes in two centuries. Built on farm land atop a hill overlooking the US Capitol, the Washington campus has been home to thousands of former enlisted military. We volunteer every Thanksgiving to help support the residence of the AFRH. Here are a few photos from 2013.

On our way to support a fund-raiser that a Chapter in PA was throwing, our tail gunner went down. After being sent to the emergency room, turns out that Blinky has some bumps and bruises but is all right.

Happy Birthday Marines

These are my closes Brothers that I run with. To a man, the best men to hang with.

Sometime we actually ride our motorcycles – here we went down to Hampton roads and ate some good food at Hoss’s Deli

Being in our MC means more than just tooling around on your scooter with your Bro’s.  We perform a multitude of civic actions around the community. One of those is the VDOT Adopt A Highway program. We have a section of highway that we help clean up and we are not required to wear county issued jumpsuits when we do it.

I want to spend a few minutes to talk about NoVA highway system. The first thing is to stay off highway 95 as much as possible.  This is the major North/South highway that runs through Virginia. Like a lot of people, I live in a bedroom community of DC and spend at least an hour and a half one way to get to work. I ride my scooter to work a lot and if the humidity is high and you’re caught in traffic, heat exhaustion is just around the corner.  We can’t lane split here in Virginia, and the cages would probably move over just to put you in a pinch anyways. NoVA has some of the worse drivers in cages that I have ever seen. Why Virginia won’t let you travel no more than 30 MPH in the emergency lane on an air cooled bike, is beyond me.

Here I am waving hello to a few of my friends that want to share the road with me. And wearing fingerless gloves does help provide a good contrast so all can see me waving.
