Photo above, and you may need sunglasses!
It comes from the state of Hawaii, from FSSNOC #5434, Brock, who rides that red Kawasaki KLR650 ... Wow, does that setting look good about now, or what? Thank You, Brockster! - #000
Of note, Brock was on hand (and in the video, btw) at the ThumperCafe for 2019 in Wisdom, Montana so several of you have met him in person. Thump On, Brock and keep that drive chain oiled, ya' hear? :)

ON A ROLL, or is it a donut?
We are currently doing a Saturday "MOTO-COFFEE" here in ThumperVille at the (*) 3rd and Main street Donut Shop. It's a very loosely structured "Come and Go" deal, 9:30AM until ?? (they close at 1:00PM) ... anybody, any brand, any number of cylinders, whatever... is welcome. Should YOU be in the area, please feel welcome to drop by and say "Howdy!"...
My reminder phone text list is about 57 names long but we usually only have about 8 to 10 folks, some with red noses and ears (the riders) and some without (the car drivers) but the intent for good is there and if you build it, they will come, right? I learned in my 30 years at a motorcycle dealership, "that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him ride his motorcycle!" But, then as now, that didn't and hasn't stopped me from trying... - #000.
(*) - Perhaps the 3rd and Main Donut Shop has fallen upon hard times. Should you arrive on a Saturday and find the doors locked with a crumpled and now familiar "Family Emergency - reopen tomorrow" sign taped to the glass door, hop back on your steed and motor north to 12th and Main, you'll find CLAYWORKS on the west side of Main, go around to the back, (west) you'll find copious parking there. Choose one of the seemingly endless array of doors leading into CLAYWORKS, and come on in. If it is locked, choose another one, carefully, only three choices are allowed! Once in, look for a group of sterling, handsome, successful and well groomed gents ... sorry, that ain't us! Next table over, the loud one, as we all have heard too many SuperTrapps! - #000

THUMPERCAFE #50 UPDATE:
KOFA INN in Parker, Arizona has generously offered our club a "brake" on Lodging rates! Should you choose to stay with the folks at Kofa Inn, when you contact them, ask them for the group rate setup for "FSSNOC Motorcycle Club - Jack Robinson, Director" ... to get their rate. Of course, each attending individual is responsible for his/her own lodging expenses as well as any other expense incurred, but you knew that...
My rate was $75.23 per night for a two-queens room, as an example. Please note that this information is not a Lodging recommendation or suggestion, it is merely an opportunity to consider their special rate for FSSNOC club members. - #000.
"W I N T E R B R A K E" ... returns
Meet us at DUMAS WALKER'S BAR AND GRILL in Earp, California on Wednesday, February 5th, 2020.
We'll plan to dine as a group about noon, come earlier to get signed-in and for coffee and conversation!
It's winter-time in much of our world that time of year so use good judgement in your choice of travel vehicle ... ice, snow, and cold temps may exist between your house and Earp, CA. No matter what that silly groundhog says, come meet, greet, and eat with us in sunny Earp, CA. - just a thump or two west of Parker,Arizona near the AZ./CA. border.
We call this particular ThumperCafe (#50) the "FSSNOC GROUNDHOG NATIONALS"! Let us know of your expected participation no later than January 1, 2020 and you'll earn yourself a FREE commemorative decal!

***************************************************
THUMPERCAFE EVENTS ... are for FSSNOC members. If you aren't currently a member, we invite you to join our group. Membership applications are available at the FSSNOC sign-in areas at each ThumperCafe event. Also, in the interest of safety, we ask that everyone abstain from alcoholic beverages before and during our events.
...........................WHAT DO WE DO AT A THUMPERCAFE?............................
Each year since 1986, FSSNOC members have been invited to gather at more than 150 ThumperCafe sites in the USA to spend time with old and new friends alike. We share our love for Four-Stroke Single cylinder motorcycles, enjoy an often unique lunch, and have a short light-hearted "business" meeting after our meal. You'll meet genuine people with great motorcycling stories and big smiles on mileage-worn faces. What a wonderful way to spend part of a perfect day!
Each of our ThumperCafes is considered a single event. You may attend as many available ThumperCafes as is your pleasure. These events are what we call "Dutch Treat", in other words, we do separate checks at lunch so bring adequate funds to purchase your own meal and to attend to your own needs. Also, these events are fun(d)raisers for our club so we invite members to donate financially to the club as they are able and motivated...
Attendees are responsible for their own travel, lodging, personal needs, and general welfare. Participants at a ThumperCafe may wish to arrive a bit early to have an opportunity to get acquainted with other FSSNOC members before our group lunch. Upon arrival, please sign-in with FSSNOC staff.
ThumperCafes are static events ... we don't do group excursions or rides. We discovered years ago that spending quality time with other members makes the most out of the limited time available at an event.
Please note that you may arrive by whatever source of transport that you like. In the interest of safety, attendees are asked to abstain from the use of alcohol before and during our event.
Should you have questions, please contact us as above. And, it is a good idea to stay current with this website as, and if, changes or additional information surfaces, we will be advising you of that here... Jack, #000
