can eat lunch in Frank Lloyd Wright ’ s only skyscraper , the Price Tower . I have been wanting to do that for several years .
I was asked last October , “ How do you winterize your motorcycle for winter in Oklahoma ?” I explained it is appropriate to put fresh fuel and fluids in them , and to hook them to a battery tender is likewise a good idea . You don ’ t want to store them in mothballs because in Oklahoma we commonly have decent enough weather to ride year-round . This year is no exception .

Bike nights will be kicking off soon . Many of the best bike nights are no longer in existence . Where are people going during the week ? Where are the best bike nights in Oklahoma ? Please let us know by sending us an email to : events @ oklahomabiker . net Tell us why you believe a bike night is worth mentioning in our next issue of Oklahoma Biker . Until then , we will see you in the wind !
