WV A.B.A.T.E. motorcycle news

Next Willamette Valley meeting - 3rd Thursday, July 17th, 2008 at The Sizzler Steakhouse on Gateway Blvd., right by the Gateway Post Office.

Next State Board meeting July 12th , 2008 - NOTE* June meeting cancelled because it is the same time as the Best of The West in Vancouver Washington.

We are moving our Chapter meetings to the Sizzler Steakhouse on Gateway Blvd. just north of the gateway Post Office. Plenty of motorcycle parking, good food and beverage, and quiet enough to hear each other. Thank you to Roaring Rapids for letting us use their location for so long.

The Wendy Loves Company is holding their grand reopening celebration at the Loves Outpost, 1912 NE 179th St, Ridgefield, Washington, just north of Vancouver, on June 29th,08. There will be live blues music by JR Sims, a BBQ & lots of fun. Wendy Loves has been a long time friend of A.B.A.T.E. and we all wish her success.

Well, we keep having more bad news... Lostein & Jeff Schauer were returning form Fossil on Memorial Day and had a motorhome cut a 25 mph corner and cause Lostein to loose control. She was taken to the hospital with face abrasions and some dental damage and it looks like it hurts. The good news is that her damge is going to heal, and no broken bones. Next time you see Lostein give her a thumbs up for surviving. It is looking more and more like rider beware. Between the cell phonies, people in a hurry, and people who have too much on their mind while driving, it is a zoo out there. Ride safe and keep an eye on others.

If you or someone you know has been denied insurance benefits as the result of it being related to motorcycle activities the State needs to hear from you. Please contact us or BikePac with any pertinent information concerning denials.

New officers and another vacant

Well the State has yet another officer space open. Art Schultz had to resign because of his job, and Central Oregon Chapter is in need of a Sergeant of Arms. We did have B.J. Speck volunteer to be the State Auditor, and Linda Marteney volunteer for the Historian position. Thank you to both for their efforts.
