March is here and riding weather isn't far behind! It's time to start planning for a great summer.
Hopefully a new feature will soon be added to the website; a calendar of events with rides and other activities posted to help us plan ahead. Please feel free to send any interesting ideas you would like to share with the group.
I am looking forward to working on this site and helping all of us to stay informed of what is happening and coming up. Any of you who would like to share a ride story or other tips should email them to me so I can include them in this on-line newsletter.

Why a Retreads® member? by: Pete M.
Thinking about becoming a Retreads® club member, but need some good reasons? I can give you several.
They are Harley, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Ural, BMW, Victory, etc. etc. 2 wheels or 3, it doesn't matter what you ride, how much you ride or how far you ride, it only matters that you Love to Ride!
When Karin and I joined the SD Retreads® we owned a Suzuki 1400 Intruder. There where no Susuki groups in the area, and I don't think we would have fit into a HOG group or a Honda riders group, but in the Retreads we fit in with the others since there was such a diverse group of bikes, and the riders didn't care what you rode, just that you did ride. Some of our members belong to several different motorcycle organizations besides Retreads®.
These other organized groups such as Harley Owners Group, or Honda Riders Group, to mention a few, are truly great organizations, but those of us who change from Suzuki to Kawasaki to Yamaha over the years, never have to change riders groups.
If you still haven't decided to join, you are still welcome to come to a meeting or group ride to check us out, We would be glad to have you visit, talk bikes and ride with us.
