OGRES Motorcycle Club 2023 Summer Run This Coming Thursday * NEW START LOCATION *

Darby, Montana

 There is a new start location for the upcoming OGRES Motorcycle Club 2023 Summer Run. This run starts this coming Thursday, July 20th.

One of our intrepid Road Captains, G-Man, was on the ball and saw that Highway 21 was closed between Idaho City and Lowman so that route is unusable this year for this Run.

The OMC Summer Run will start at the Chevron at Highway 55 and Beacon Light Road. The Safety Briefing will be at 7:45 a.m. with departure at 8 a.m.

ITD has announced there may be a 30 minute delay between Horseshoe Bend and Banks on Thursday as they are clearing out dead trees. We will just have to deal with it.

See all y'all there.

OGRES Motorcycle Club 2023 July Mandatory Meeting Report

The meeting began more or less on time after we all checked out Smooth's new trike. It is a very cool machine that strongly resembles the Indy cars of the Barney Oldfield era. Way bitchin'.

Members present: G-Man, RipCity, Rowdy, Smooth, Grim, Bomber and eventually Gundy. Members absent: Slick, Krome, and Duke.

A short business meeting was held with RipCity presiding. We discussed upcoming rides and reservations. Then we adjourned that location to ride over to Nampa for Mexican food.

Bomber had forgotten that he was in a motorcycle club and had driven his car to the meeting. G-Man didn't want Bomber to ride alone so he abandoned his motorcycle to ride with Bomber. Riding alone is a car is different that riding alone in a car!?!?!? Lol.

RipCity did an excellent job of leading the Club through the traffic and out into the countryside. We lost Smooth and the Thueson Cage and RipCity wisely waited until we cleared the traffic to allow them to catch up. We also were treated with a train passing a crossing on our way to Nampa. That is always good luck and Grim loves trains.

We had a very nice meal with attentive and lovely servers. Much trash was talked about the missing OGRES members and stories were related.

Rip City did a great job planning and executing this meeting. His leadership on the road was great. Grim feels he should take over the lead mantel for all OGRES activities in the future.

Nuff said.

Spring Upgrades Abound for OGRES Motorcycle Club Members

 Check out the cool steering sticks upgrade to RipCity's Indian Chieftain. This should make those Iron Butt rides super comfy for RipCity and his behind.

OGRES Motorcycle Club members can further upgrade their Spring riding season by attending the upcoming OGRES MC 2023 Spring Run on June 8th and 9th. Further information can be found at this link:

Everyone should be in attendance unless they have less than absolute power over their lives and allow others to make decisions for them. 

LoL Just kidding.

OGRES Motorcycle Club May 2023 Meeting Report

 

The OGRES MC faithful met at the appointed time and place promptly and silently dangerous.

Members present were: G-Man, RipCity, Gundy and Grim. Members absent: KROME, Duke, Slick, Rowdy, Smooth and Bomber.

We met very briefly at the Clubhouse but there wasn't much on the agenda except outlining and discussing the lame reasons why the absent OMC members blew off the meeting. There was pointed and derogatory dialogue about each member and their progeny.

We quickly reconvened at the Grill and Maddie was at our table very quickly to take our drink and food orders. She was brand new so we broke her in hard to the OGRES MC culture.

Grim asked for his salad to be "up front" but it came with the rest of his dinner. A fist fight nearly ensued with the errant waitress.

Rip City ordered the new potatoes that have replace the tater tots. He enjoyed them so much G-Man was gifted two large pieces of his salmon strips. Crispy and yummy. 

We discussed the efficacy of having a 1000 mile Iron Butt ride on June 24th. We would do the same route we have done twice previously unless the Road Captains could come up with something better. We would leave at 5 am to avoid riding into the late darkness at the end of the ride. Grim is gonna ride it, in any event, as he has not done it previously on a comfortable bike.

It was a great and fun meeting/dinner. Grim has not laughed that hard for a long time. Some of the banter might have been a little off color but it was RipCity's fault. Grim was innocent on any of it.

The meeting was concluded with a "small" bowl of ice cream and we headed back to the barn.

No one really wanted to depart so we went inside and checked out G-Man's fleet of motorcycles and cars. It was a great time but we finally pried ourselves from the socialization and roared off on our Harleys into the sunset.

Next OMC event is the Spring Run. The more the merrier unless you keep scheduling family reunions at the same time. Lol.

See you there.

OGRES Motorcycle Club March 2023 Mandatory Meeting Report

 

The March 2023 OMC meeting was held at the appointed place and time. 

Members present: RipCity, Gundy, Bomber, G-Man, Smooth, Duke, Rowdy and Grim.

Members absent: Krome and Slick.

We didn't have an agenda so we sat in the Clubhouse and had a nice exchange of travel, life as we know it and general living in a free country stories. 

Grim will be putting together a hat and t-shirt order adorned with the OGRES livery. A blog post is forthcoming with more information. Please email Grim with your hat and t-shirt size for this venture. The list that was compiled at the meeting was lost in the wind.

We also made time to talk trash about the missing OMC members. No one is a close second, to Krome, for missing the most OMC functions ever. (Actually, we missed them.)

Members were reminded that all OMC 2023 Run venues were open to getting reservations made. It was a timely reminder as Grim found some reservation discrepancies in Joseph, Oregon that have been remedied.

Smooth made a motion to adjourn to the Sockeye Grill for dinner. It was seconded and the motion was passed in initiate motion to the restaurant.

We had a great time at the Sockeye although Duke had to sit across from G-Man and found himself having to talk business during this leisurely laid back OMC time. Lol. 

The meals were great and RipCity's crispy, crispy, crispy tater tots truly were. Maybe the best in memory.

We finally topped up on maximum fun and called it a night. It is true that things get better with age. We are coming up on 13 years as a Club. 'Nuff said.

Whatever
