The first real snow of the season (December 7th), at least in Essex Junction. The fall weather cooperated and our Chili Polar Ride proved many of you are brave enough for both cold temperatures and hot chili. We continue to break records on attendance with 58 bikes plus countless passengers and 16 entries for chili. Add all the donated coats and cash for the Lund Family and life is really very good. Now let's bring it together for the Moose Foundation Poker Tournament this Sunday. This charity is about "Riders Helping Injured Riders". The Moose Foundation has helped 3 downed riders in its first year. And it will continue to be a resource for bikers involved in accidents. Come play, watch or just support the cause. The whole crew at GMH-D wants to wish you the best for incoming 2010. Most aren't sure yet what to call next year (0'10, 2010, Oh-Ten, One-Zero, Ten) but we can be sure it includes motorcycle adventures. We wish you the best as the year comes to a close and look forward to seeing you in shop in One-Ohhh!!!

See you next year Mr. and Mrs. Biker Claus Click here for more pictures of our Chili Polar Ride and other events this year A Bikers' Winter Tale By Sandra Steeves T 'was the night before Christmas when all through the land, No motorcycles stirred from off its kickstand. Dust covers were hung on all bikes with great care, In hopes that come spring no dirt would be there. The riders were nestled all snug in their beds Visions of new rides filling their heads. My battery on the tender and tires parked on wood, Meant my bike now stayed in the garage for good. I sat eying leathers and holding helmet in lap, Contemplating my bikes' long winter nap. When out in the road there arose such a clatter, That I had to spring up to see what was the matter! Away to the curtain I flew, gawking to see-- A lone rider on bike-- how could this be? The moon on the road gave plenty of light And I watched as the guy roared past with delight. More rapid than rockets the cruiser did charge And the man sitting on it... appeared rather large. Victory? Harley? What make was his ride? Was Star? Or Honda marked on its side? As dry leaves scattered in the beam of his light, He roared on by and into the night. I grumbled and mumbled and went back to sit down, And wished I was out riding while I scowled with a frown. How slowly time passes with no riding to do I console myself reading a bike book or two. An old biker movie might be on TV, Or Jason Britton re-runs to entertain me. But time will drag on until spring warms the air. When riders and bikes emerge once again everywhere.
