Old Bike Ride 14 Large parking lot behind the old Foss Drugstore, one block west of Washington Ave on 13th Street 5 / 15 / 2016 9:30 Norton Colorado and Bob Ohman Welcome to Old Bike Ride Fourteen! This annual event is a venture between Norton Colorado and Bob Ohman. The purpose of the Old Bike Ride is to encourage people to bring out their old motorcycles and ride them. American, British, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese, motorcycle, scooter, sidecar, concourse original or hideous mongrel, any engine capacity, we do not care as long as it’ s old enough. The approximately 110-mile route takes us over some of the finest motorcycling roads of the Front Range. The Old Bike Ride is open to anyone riding a motorized vehicle with less than four wheels made in 1980 or earlier. We also honor people who refuse to quit riding just because they got old, so a rider over the age of 75 can ride whatever they want to, dammit. Except for this Extremely Important Exception: We are trying to encourage more riders of the female persuasion to get involved in vintage motorcycling. Therefore, for OBR13 and until further notice, women of any age are welcome to participate while riding( not as a passenger) a motorcycle or scooter of any age. Ladies, here’ s your chance to ride with a choice collection of the crustiest old motorcyclists you could ever imagine! This is not a race. Everyone rides at their own pace and, to quote the old song,“” never is heard, a discouraging word”” about the mechanical preparation of one’ s machine or one’ s rate of forward progress, cornering abilities, or navigational skills( no one could be worse than Jerry
Pokorny). We’ d really, truly like you to join us. As in recent runnings of the Old Bike Ride, the special decals commemorating this event will not be issued until the lunch stop. Bob Ohman http:// www. nortoncolorado. org / obr / OBR14. html reohman @ att. net 303-570-9333
