The Northern Hills Awareness and Safety Ride on
Saturday, May 22 was great. A well organized ride of about 150 miles was
enjoyed by about 40 people on thirty bikes, including six Retreads (see
pictures at the Photos of Rides and Rallies page). The weather
was very cooperative with clear, sunny skies most of the time and NO
rain. The lunch provided by the fire department auxiliary in Sundance
was very good! Thanks to all who came along.

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.
