Chopper’s Today

Text Box: What not to wear II. (I didn’t mean for this to become a series.) In February, ChopperDave wrote, “Chrome radiators, injectors stacks and horns are cool...but the duck boots have got to go!” Then, months later, I got this. Are those eagles on those damn boots? Well, they’re not necessarily eagles...you get the idea. Nice job, LeRoy Mercer! Finally, a nice pair of Genuine Harley Davidson boots. Now….It’s time to ride. February: Virgin Ride: Now:

On April 15, ChopperDave made the “Stearns County Loop” (St Cloud to Sauk Centre, then back via St Martin) with the Power Rangers and their buddy, the Runestone Cowboy. Below is a picture which sums up that ride.

The RKC and the Triple-V take a short break in Sartell during “The Virgin Ride”. Tiny is talking to his wife.
