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.
