A little equal time for the girls, please. Waterloo's famous "Lady in White". I remember being in awe of her as a child. She used to ride frequently in the Waterloo Parades in the late 1940s and early 1950s. But I never knew that she was world famous until I started researching on Google for Louise Menzer Scherbyn.

This link is one of many I found that covers the most interesting highlights of her career.

This link has photos of her in her white riding clothes

Thanks, u3; great links!

SF, you were asking about Ecuador. This will show you that they have good roads, and bike rentals:

http://www.thisisecuador.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=81&Itemid=71

Climate fascinates me, and Ecuador, the size of Colorado, and on the equator, goes from sea level to 20,700 ft ASL, within about 120 miles. So the climate ranges from tropical to arctic. At all times of the year. Note the flower in the foreground of one of the snow cap shots. I was at 7800 ft, and there were tall palms. About as high as they are found is Quito. Its airport is at 9300 ft., and it's the world's 2nd highest capital city, after La Paz. Think about it: When they come in for a landing, cabin pressure lessens, which is the opposite of most places. At altitude, cabin pressure is kept at about 8,000 ft, usually. Some other places that aren't jungle:

Looks very nice. Maybe the next time I get an urge to run away, I should. That would be a good place to hideout. ;\)

If you get the urge, ya might as well do it; we're going to be a long time dead, after all. It's much cheaper than Florida, the people are very friendly, and the climate's superb.

Hey I think I know these Bikers.
Now back to the title what about Sonny Barger?

Let's see what does this post by lucy /FUD pucker show us. There is a picture of me riding with the Patriot Guard having some fun at a rally to raise money for veterans,& blue and gold star moms. While lucy seeks out pictures of me to post just to try start something. Wow you really are a creepy stalker. What a cowardly act, and completely unprovoked. You have some real issues there wierd one. You see I am proud of who I am and what I do. Unlike you I would say the same to someones face as I would on here. But I guess I can understand why you would not. Lets for a moment revist your history on here: Lewd sexually charged remarks about preteen girls, posting lewd pictures of overweight women, constant bigoted remarks about people from the mid and south end of the county, attacking my son and wife, your indepth knowledge of where to find pics of transexuals, yup you have alot to be proud of, not ! So now you have raised the bar, I now know that you know who I am, so I guess its time for me to take the appropriate next steps.

BTW for the last time I am not gay so if thats why your stalking me and messing with me like some love sick third grader its not going to work. Bark up some other tree.

PS: NOTE not wearing fingerless gloves LOL

LOL, I find it impossible to forget Che, although I've sure tried to. Talk about a guy with no clue, sticking his nose in where it wasn't needed or wanted...he was that guy, until they got tired of his act and offed him.

Don Cole rode in any weather conditions also even in snow to get to work. Don 0nce said it was his main type of transportation.
Now his son Paul was a different type of man
