Hey everybody, I know this is short notice. This is a good chance to ride for a good cause.....

https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/289086411233516/After 15 years, my buddy Skooter crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. We rode many miles and I have had many memorable trips on the bike with him.....many of you probably have met him or ridden with us and shared some of those same memories.
Every year on Skooter's birthday, we would always ride somewhere special and those rides turned into a ride with our biker family to get steak and ice cream. This year, and every year to come, on Skooter's birthday, I would like to memorialize his life since he is no longe...r with us. I would also like to celebrate all of our animals - all breeds, shapes and sizes, with us or not, that have touched the lives of each of us in some way.
The Houston SPCA is the organization that brought Skooter and I together. The SPCA helps all animals in need of a good home to find that special someone to adopt them. Because the SPCA is a non-profit organization, they need our help! From dogs to cats, to rabbits and hamsters, to horses and sheep.....there are never enough homes to go around. This is where the SPCA comes in! But without this great organization, think of all the potential new best friends we will never meet and all of the animals that will never know the love we have for our fur-babies. To make a difference, we want to raise money and send all proceeds to the SPCA. Together we can make a difference in many animals AND human lives. Without you, none of this would be possible!
