President's Report Regarding Annual OGRES Motorcycle Club February Epic Event with Spouses

 

OMC members and spouses met at the Clubhouse at the appointed time for socializing and charcuterie hi-jinks. Members present: Bomber, Gundy, G-Man, RipCity, Smooth, Duke, and Grim. Members absent: Slick and Rowdy.

RipCity was kind enough to bring a nice charcuterie board for the pre-dinner socializing and warmup for the evening. The board was much enjoyed and everyone appeared to be happy to be there and to meet and greet each other. It was nice see everyone and it was a nice time. (Note for next year: Allow less time for this activity as everyone was ready to head for the restaurant much before the allotted time was up.)

We then headed over to the restaurant and found our seats at the tables in the railway car. We had a great server and our meal was served in a timely manner. Everyone seemed to enjoy the company and the food.

It was a pleasant evening and a great OMC event.

OGRES Motorcycle Club March 2025 Meeting Alert and "Heads Up"

 

Chris Reeve Knives are highly regarded as the benchmark of quality in the blade industry. Every part of the Chris Reeve knives are done in house. Their headquarters and such are right here in Boise, Idaho.

For our March meeting, we will be doing a tour of their entire facility. It should be very cool to see how arguably the best knives in the world are made.

The tour will be at 3:30 pm. The early hour is required for us to get the "full meal deal" because day shift ends at 4:30 pm. and we would miss that part of the production.

8 or 9 people is max for the amount to tour and see everything. Hence, no guests are allowed unless slots open up by non-attending OMC members.

This should give everyone enough notice to clear their calendar for this excellent adventure.

"Nuff said.

OGRES Motorcycle Club January 2025 Meeting Report

 

OGRES MC members met at the appointed place and time. Members present: G-Man, Rowdy, Gundy, Bomber, Grim, Duke and Gundy. Absent: RipCity and Slick.

This was really a great OMC meeting. Chill and informative with a lot of great stories and history.

Dues were collected and new OMC stickers were distributed. This sticker is a replica of the "crown side" of the OMC challenge coin. Another set of stickers is coming that will replicate the "crossed pistons" side of the coin.

We talked first about ride planning and expectations. The final version of the 2025 OMC Events and Meetings was handed out although most everyone had already received a copy via email.

Upcoming rides were discussed and members were encouraged to make all reservations as soon as possible...especially Joseph and Hagerman. 

More stories and "lies" were shared but no one was in a big hurry to rush to the restaurant and it was quite nice to have a nice, measured and languid pace.

We finally headed over to the restaurant and found a table. We had the same server as last month and she was great. 

Everyone ordered their favorite Sockeye meal and we had more conversation and some business talk even though Duke and G-Man were at opposite ends of the table. Smooth did a great job of steering the conversation back to topics of interest to everyone present but then steered the conversation back ?!?! 

Seriously, it was a very nice time. No one was in a hurry to leave as we were enjoying the company and were not in a spot of bother to rush away.

The restaurant staff started cleaning and sweeping so we figured we better scat but we had to pause for a photo opportunity as Grim had been remiss in this duty.

The next event will be on February 13th. Bring your old lady, er, I mean, the missus, er, I mean the bride to this shindig.

Peace In and Out.

OGRES Motorcycle Club 2025 New Years Breakfast Meeting Report

 

It was a fine New Years Day that found the OGRES MC members gathering for the annual breakfast meeting.  Members in attendance: Slick!, Gundy, Smooth, Rowdy, Grim, G-Man and RipCity. Absent: Duke and Bomber (woke up sick!).

The morning started out with RipCity, early as usual and "Johnny-On-The-Spot", arriving at the Capri Cafe 30 minutes early. This was fortunate as the Capri Cafe was closed, even though we had this breakfast there on two prior occasions.

This was not problem as RipCity deftly turned the tip of the spear to Terri's Cafe in Meridian. Part of the Members read their texts and rerouted but part showed up at the Capri Cafe and then read their texts. All Members eventually arrived.

It was a very pleasant and delicious breakfast as far as Grim knows. Grim was able to have a conversation with most everyone except RipCity and Slick. They were having their own private meeting so in the future we may have to separate them. Lol.

The next meeting is on January 9th. There will be a special door prize and dues are to be collected. 

Bring your fifty bucks to the meeting to ensure your OMC membership status as being in standing.
