Mods vs Rockers 5 San Francisco Pre-Mods & Rockers Snack & Chat or 2 pm Rockers Meet @ the Sponsored by : ............................................................................ : April 14, 2007 Alden Spafford's Memorial Ride Depending on the weather, interested bikers will meet in front of the Castro Theatre this Saturday (April 14) at 9:30am and assemble for departure at 10:00am. The Ride Captain will be Brett of the Ad Hoc Riders. Since riding in the rain is not just uncomfortable but unsafe as well, the ride portion of the day on Saturday is subject to postponement to Sunday morning if rain is present on Saturday. If you have any doubt, call Jeff Johnston at The ride will go to Alice's Restaurant near La Honda, which happened to be a favorite of Alden’s and his last ride prior to his fatal trip to LA. Everyone will be on their own for lunch and conversation at Alice’s (who are expecting our group.) We will return to the SF Eagle Tavern at about 1:45pm. The Memorial Celebration of Life for Alden will commence at 2:00pm at the Eagle Tavern. It will likely last no more than an hour but we will have the mic available for all who wish to add their memories and thoughts of Alden after the speakers on the brief program. Satyrs M/C is hosting the Beer Bust at the Eagle on the next day, Sunday, April 15. Come and enjoy the fun, the drink, and the cheeseburgers. If rain forces the ride on Saturday to postpone until Sunday, the same time schedule for the ride will apply and give us plenty of time to enjoy the beer bust that afternoon. Sunday’s weather looks quite nice.
Satyrs contacts for further information are: Ride to Alice’s: Memorial Service (Sat) and Beer Bust (Sunday): NOTES: A good man, a fellow motorcyclist, a member of the Satyrs MC, and an associate member of the Golden Gate Guards, Alden was killed in a motorcycle accident on I-5 in February. Check out Alden's website for information about the man aspafford.net/index.html. Many of the Dykes on Bikes organizing members knew Alden and will miss him dearly. : ............................................................................ : Women Motorcycle Events (US & Canada) // 5.20.07 // VTwin Mamma.com June 2-3, 2007 June 3, 2007 June 15-17, 2007 June 19-21, 2007 June 21-23, 2007 June 22-24, 2007 July 3-5, 2007 July 7, 2007 July 10-12, 2007 July 13-15, 2007 July 14, 2007 July 20-22, 2007 July 20-22, 2007 August 17-19, 2007 August 19, 2007 August 24-25, 2007 August 24-26, 2007 Sept. 18-23, 2007 October 6, 2007 October 7, 2007

GLBT Historical Society Hosts Exhibit and Event Series Dykes on Bikes®: 30 Years at the Forefront
Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Transgender Historical Society Dykes on Bikes® powerfully embodies how lesbians have stood at the forefront of queer pride for 30 years. The exhibit "30 Years at the Forefront," hosted by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Transgender (GLBT) Historical Society, uses a significant anniversary to look back and commemorate this anchor SF institution that has become internationally renowned. The exhibit also looks forward and celebrates the landmark legal victory Dykes on Bikes® recently won, securing full ownership over its name. The exhibit is accompanied by a series of events, including a donor preview on April 24th, a gala opening reception on May 15th, a reception co-hosted by the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) on May 31st, and a Pride week reception on June 26th, among others. The "30 Years at the Forefront" exhibit invites the general public to revel in the mythic power of Dykes on Bikes®. Exhibit attendees can even get a feel for riding in the famed contingent by hopping on a motorcycle surrounded by the sights and sounds of past parades. Along with the fun, the exhibit also offers visitors the opportunity to learn more about the organization’s ride down a 30-year road: its history, mission, structure, annual event production, and international reach. The exhibit also hopes to spur past and present members of Dykes on Bikes® to collectively remember and celebrate their history, and in so doing locate and archive otherwise uncollected memorabilia, documents, photographs, and artifacts of the organization’s last 30 years.

September 7 – 9, 2007 We Remember: A fund-raiser for America's 9/11 Foundation College Scholarship Program for the Children of First Responders Dear Friends: As you may know, on August 16th hundreds of bikers will gather in Sommerset, PA, site of the crash of United Flight #93. They will then ride down to Washington, DC, and the Pentagon. On August 18, they will travel to Ground Zero of the World Trade Center in New York. Why are they doing this? To honor the First Responders – Fire, Police and EMS – who placed their lives on the line on September 11, 2001, and who do so each and every day. They also are raising funds to support America’s 9/11 Foundation College Scholarship Program for the Children of First Responders. Many of us here in California and America’s Southwest can’t make the trip to the East at this time. But a more modest bike ride in solidarity with our biker friends back there is possible. To that end, a group of us in San Diego are calling for a ride to end here in San Diego the weekend of September 7 – 9, 2007. We hope your club members will consider coming the weekend of September 7. If you will come, please let me know the approximate number of riders so we can have enough food and parking spaces. For more information, or if you have questions, about the August ride go to americas911ride.org. For information on the bike run to San Diego, contact russm92107@hotmail.com.

: .......................................................................................................................... : August 25 Relay For Life Hello Friends,
Well, along with my annual ride in the parade, I walk in the Relay For Life to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. I have met so many wonderful people on my rides and know so many of you have expressed appreciation for the support. So, I guess I'm putting the bite on for fund raising. My walk this year is on August 25th in Rio Vista. I’m not computer savvy, so I don’t have an on-line account for donations, so I would appreciate it if you would send a check, made payable to American Cancer Society or ACS and mail it to: Patricia Robinson Please send checks by August 25. I will ride until age (I’m 71) says I can't, then maybe Vick can pull me along in a wagon. Thanks all for wonderful times! Sincerely, Pat (aka Proud Mom)

May 31, 2008
I'm
"Proud Mom" and every year for the pass seven years (except
one) I have ridden with my daughter Vick Germany, President of the SF Dykes on Bikes® Women’s Motorcycle
Contingent in the Pride Parade. She asked me to ride the first time
because I had been diagnosed and operated on for colon cancer the
previous year. The big "C" and it scared her not to mention
me. The first time I rode with her, I was amazed at the response
I got from the crowd. People were yelling out “Hey Proud Mom”
and afterwards so many people came up to tell me stories about how
they wished their mothers were as supportive. I told Vick she had
created a monster and I wanted to ride every year.
