The availability of parts or waiting to get parts can throw a monkey wrench into a more or less 2-4 day turn around time.

I do have a completed index gallery with about 15 categories of pictures. All you have to do is click on a gallery picture to go to that specific gallery. Keep trying weekly if you are interested, I will have updates continuously.

The web site is www.pcrphoto.com Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy what you see on your site visit. I am trying to sell my photo’s and now own one of the highest resolution small format digital camera bodies commercially available.

Please let me know if there is something I could do to improve the site.

They also have a power outlet, called PowerBar, that mounts to the handlebar of any motorcycle with 7/8" or 1" handlebars and they look cool. You can even get chrome ones.

I was simply told, we’ll help you. Great friends in Colorado then and still, the folks I used to drag down to Colorado turned out to be charter members. We had around 17 to start and used to meet at the Old Owl Inn. Neil DuShane Region Rep, Oh! -stories to tell! The members that came to mind are as follows:

1. Ron and Sandra Fox
2. Rich Papke & Wife
3. Bill & Gail Graves
4. Grizz (Ken) & Cindy Foist
5. Milt & Lucky Bastian
6. Mark & Theresa Housley
7. Gradey & Betty McKenny
8. Jim Van Velzor & wife—(deceased)
9. Bob Heywood
10. Toby & Pat Toliler
11. Jim & Paulette Lysne

Those I forgot, sorry, age you know.

We needed a patch for our chapter, so we held a contest, and had several entries. Theresa Housley won, and collected a $100 savings bond. It’s the patch that is worn by Chapter B today, but we needed something to sew them onto.

I found out that Safeway was doing away with their brown vests. I went to all four stores and talked with the managers. They ok’ed it with headquarters and we had free vests for around two to three years, still a few of them around.

We were in Region F then went to Region P as Jim remembers we used to shout, “Go P, Go P.” Fun, huh! We changed to Region I then, which we are now.

The first Area Reps (now Chapter Directors) were as follows:

1. Charter Area Rep-Ron Fox
2. Area Rep.- Bruce Henning
3. Jim Lysne
4. Tony Wassenburg
5. Ed Carlson
6. Collins Wakefield
7. Dave Hill
8. Bob Snipes

We raised money by starting the first overnight poker run to Steamboat Springs. We stayed at a place that overlooked Steamboat Springs-called to Overlook. It was sold years after and we lost our hot tub and pool. We would head back to Cheyenne to Walden, Colorado down the Pouder Canyon, Ft. Collins & Cheyenne for hamburgers and hot dogs.

Lots of people donated prizes and we had an auction to raise money. Lots of folks from Colorado and around would come and have a great time.

We rode what ever our legs would cross, GL 1000, 1200, Kawasaki’s (Generic Jim), Harleys 550, 750s and look what’s out there now. WOW! But let’s not forget the older bikes. We have side cars, trikes cargo trailers, tent campers…

We still wear the patch of Wyo Chapter “B” with over 100 members within. Check out the Wing Dings — super times.

I love you guys, you make our Chapter & GWRRA.
