Leilani,

Did a poker run with my brother and cars one year in Yellowstone. It was a lot of fun but it rained like no tomorrow.

Are you riding in this? Sounds like a great time!!!

I hope so too, Anita! I didn't learn about last year's Poker Run, so I don't know how many participated...but we'll be there this year! :)

DeeDee, I've never done a poker run before...but I have ridden on a group ride up to Donner Lake in July a couple years ago and it RAINED on the way back! Hope it doesn't rain next month, those drops feel like bullets when you're on a motorcycle. :)

Apr 23, 2011 05:27 PM

Thanks, Bruce...and yes, Bob and I are looking forward to participating in this charity event! :)

Leilani, that picture looked a little drab and dreary! Will there be some pink leather to brighten up the all that dark colored biker attire?

Apr 23, 2011 06:21 PM

Well, now that you suggest it, Bruce...yes, I just might bust out the pink leather vest for this ride if it's warm enough! That'll work, since I just bought a pair of pink sunglasses that are a perfect match. :)

Leilani, this should bring the masses out, as poker seems to be very popular right now. GREAT event for a GREAT cause!

Leilani, this looks like a lot of fun. I like your comment about raindrops feeling like bullets. I have always likened it to being jabbed in the face by a thousand sharpened pencils.

Leiliani, what a great event....to be able to see all makes and models of motorcyles; plus help a worthy cause. Post a photo of you in the pink leather vest and glasses...

Apr 24, 2011 10:39 AM

I hope so, Joan...and if the weather cooperates, I'm sure that will help tremendously with bringing all the riders out! :)

Apr 25, 2011 04:26 PM

Malcolm, I guess that likeness would be true now that you mention it...but "bullets" was the first thing I thought of (even though I've luckily never felt one before!) Come to think of it, I've never been jabbed in the face by a sharpened pencil either. :)

Apr 25, 2011 04:27 PM

Thanks, Renee! You're right...even though I'm not sure what happens at the end when we can all show our poker hands. Whatever it is will be a surprise, that's for sure! :)

Apr 25, 2011 04:28 PM

Rebecca, I agree...and if Bob isn't too busy to take a photo that day, I'll definitely post one of me as "Pink Leilani"! :)
