Brother George and Friar John just in from the

 

"Great Tatanka Tour"

 

 

 

 How it all began........

 

October 2005,  I had just walked into the local watering hole after riding back from Biketoberfest in Daytona Beach.  George, who couldn’t make it to Biketoberfest, walks up and says….”Friar John, Lets ride to Sturgis this year

 

 

 I looked at George like he was crazy. My rear was still sore from our ride to Daytona and he wants me to agree to Sturgis.  Hell, I’m too old for that…Next Day he was still talking about it… After a few beers and more big tales we agreed.. It was  this year or probably never….

 

Sturgis 66th Annual Motor Rally.. here we come……..

 

American Bison can be seen in the Sturgis area.  The Lakota (Sioux) call this symbol of the Plains, "Tatanka".  

 

We called this Tour........

 

“The Great Tatanka Tour”

 The Two Conspirators

 

"If you see our bikes on a trailer..Call the cops, cause they've been stolen"

 

 

Friar John,  Cumming, GA  Age 55,  Had to have a bike as soon as he saw "Easy Rider" as a kid.  Currently rides  a 2005 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Classic.

 

Has been referred to as a grouch..




 

 

George:  Cumming, GA  Age 51,  Rides the wind on a 2005 Electra Glide Standard.  This man knows no fear.  Just ask the women that chase him constantly.

 

Favorite expressions.  : "I gotta ride" and "we gotta go to Kansas City"
