Well
The last two weekends were fun for sure. We had our club in both the Ocala and Belleview Christmas parades.

We loved being In the parade playing Christmas music and waving to the kids and singing and dancing on the bikes. Was a freaking blast.

If anyone happens to have gotten any pics of us we would love it if you would send them to us.

We definitely were reminded that parades are torture on our bikes. So many bikes all over heated. One even caught fire from the heat. Even heard another group had the LED lights melt on his bike.

I will say I am thankful that Chris Wardell at Cycle Solutions took care of my bike at the Panama Thunder Beach. I over heated on the way up there and he did a new D&D ceramic exhaust and K&P Reusable oil Filter/cooler on my 131. Have not had any more heat issues since then. Mine was one of the biggest motors and one of the only ones that had no problem restarting.

TOMORROW AT THE PARK!

EVENT NARRATIVE
The public is warmly welcomed to this solemn ceremony which begins with the 9/11 Traveling Wall being led by a (hundreds of) Motorcycle Es**rt from the SE Livestock Pavilion through Ocala and into the Marion County HQ Library lot. The 9/11 Traveling Wall will then be dismounted from the Es**rt and erected in the Park for public viewing.

The solemn ceremony commemorating 9/11 will commence at 10:30 am. Appropriate honors will be rendered by the Marion County Fire Rescue Honor Guard.

As there will be limited seating in the Park Pavilion, attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs (and water!😊). We are hoping many young ones will come to hear first hand experiences of 9/11 from first responders and military personnel who will be in attendance.
