ONE DOESN'T SEE SCENERY LIKE THIS FROM THE SOFA! (grin) ... WOW!
This shot was taken in Oregon approximately one week ago ... Newberry Volcanic Monument ... just northeast of LaPine, Oregon. Thank You, Rob! FSSNOC #5186 - Minnesota
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And, Speaking Of Scenery ... We hope that members from all over the USA are planning to come to the CENTER of the lower 48 states, that be the wheat state, oh yeah! KANSAS ...
Be sure to let FSSNOC know very soon if you are planning to attend, (we love surprises, but if you want to have food to eat at our Meet, Greet, and EAT ... ???) our hostess with the mostess would be able to plan her menu for us, and what is more important than our having lunch together?
You may have noticed in last week's THUMPERGARAGE, our event lunch site has changed location, though only by about 30 miles ... but if you go to the old location, you'll likely be eating out of the grocery store. VERY IMPORTANT ... our new location for lunch is LONGFORD, KANSAS.
For those of us who have rooms reserved at the Holiday Inn Express in Concordia, Kansas ... that arrangement will still work beautifully, just another 30 miles of the sights and sounds of Kansas to reach our luncheon site, be there no later than 4PM on June 21st, a Wednesday (the very first day of Summer)!
Carrie and I are shooting for maybe 2:30PM as our arrival time so we can be there when members arrive, plus we really want to visit with everyone and time goes so fast at a ThumperCafe!
Speaking of time, attenders might plan a "loose" schedule after our meal in Longford ... If the weather is nice, Carrie and I may have a little surprise for anyone who is still in central Kansas on Friday ... all I can say for the moment is, "Yummmmmm!"
Of note, all you "local" Kansas FSSNOCers ... we need to know that you are coming as well ... let us know if you plan to go!! ... Don't assume that we know you are coming, put your name on the list ... see directions how to respond below... T/Y!
See everyone SOON, See you all in JUNE! (06-21-23)
Again ... Let us know you are coming:

ThumperCafe #59
Hi Jack,
Carl M. (#5106)here. I plan to attend this Event, riding the KTM 690 Duke, from the great Flyover State of OHIO. Somewhat over 800 miles,. if Google Map is close to correct. I will try to bring this year's dues with me. My finances are still critically tight, but I’ll due my best. (I know how well you like bad puns and wordplay)
Since I have so little seat time so far this year, I’ll probably take two to three days to travel from Troy, Ohio and try to find camping along the way.
You and Carrie have a good ride and keep the rubber down on the way to T/C #59,
Carl
Yo Carl ---
See you soon in June by the light of the moon (oops! Here I go again...!) - #000.

(From last week...)
A WHITE CASTLE OF THE PLAINS ... I.E, a grain elevator. This is a routine sight in Kansas, site of the 2023 FSSNOC FAMILY REUNION/THUMPERCAFE #59 on June 21, 2023:
A.) It is time to let FSSNOC know if you are planning to attend ...
Due to the rural status of our hosting Restaurant, our hostess, Amy, needs to know ahead of time how many people we expect. This has not only to do with the food required but with the hiring of extra help to better serve our group.
If your name isn't on the list at this time and you plan to attend, please contact FSSNOC by email to this site,
FSSNOCthumpers@yahoo.com or text or call (620-663-1869)!
If someone just shows up unannounced, he or she may be eating breakfast cereal. The population of our meet site is 73 folks, it is a tiny dot on the map amidst a vast and verdant sea.
It is not uncommon to see locals grabbing a bite of lunch at the next table, all the while wearing well worn spurs on their faded and scuffed cowboy boots! Local FSSNOCers love this place!
B.) As a current member of FSSNOC, you and you only have access to Thumper News, our club magazine/newsletter ... see pages 04 and 05 in TN#151. This is critical if you are going to be advised about this event and it may be even more critical that members stay in tune here at the ThumperGarage for last minute changes!!
If YOU know a FSSNOC member that may be attending this historic event, contact them and remind them to advise FSSNOC of their plans to attend and also remind them to check this website weekly ... Thank You much, Carrie and I are SO excited to see everyone!
C.) One such change (as mentioned above) is the change of location for the Meet-Greet-Eat Reunion Event on June 21st. Read more below:
Concordia, Ks (at the junction of US81 and HWY 9) is the site of a Holiday Inn Express motel that is allowing FSSNOC members to ask about a discount rate as written about in TN#151. This offer is a limited number of rooms and for a limited time so act quickly if you are interested.
Clifton, Ks (our original site for the Meet-Greet-Eat Event location) is 22 miles east of Concordia on scenic HWY-9 as per the info in TN#151. The NEW Meet-Greet-Eat Reunion location is Longford, Ks ... located about 30 miles south of Clifton (stay on the paved roads for best results).
There are other routes to get there, this is just the route that I use (grin). Tell your FSSNOC friends about this change of location, make sure they are informed.
Of further note, Carrie and I have reservations at the above Holiday Inn in Concordia for the night of June 21st ... our plans are to ride from our home to Longford, arriving about 2:30pm or so on June 21, thus giving us time to visit with everyone as they arrive and prior to our group meal at 4PM. Be sure to look us up and sign-in with us when you arrive in Longford. See You Soon! - #000

Hello Jack: This is Don from Tulsa, Ok.. I am planning to attend the thumper meet in Lebanon, Ks. (Note: the Event is to be in Longford, Ks - see above. #000) on June 21. I am a not-yet member of FSSNOC, however, I hope to join up soon. I will be riding my 2015 Yamaha SR400. I have promised my wife, Teresa, to behave in a general good manner and hope (and pray) the local authorities won't be called on my behalf. I do appreciate all you do for your group and look forward to meeting you in person. Thank you, Don
(REPLY) Yo Don ... We'd encourage you to get signed up right away. This event is for current members so you need to make that happen, and that way, we'll have time to get your club t-shirt to you so that you will have some FSSNOC swag to wear amongst the troops. We'd love to have you attend and I really, really like your choice of ride!!! Call or text me at 620-663-1869 and we can get all this underway, okay? Keep On Thumpin! - #000.

FSSNOC FEARLESS and FAITHFUL THUMPER REUNION ... June 21, 2023 ... to be held in LONGFORD, KANSAS!

A "SINGLE" EVENT ...
One event, One moment, One opportunity
to meet, greet, and eat with FSSNOC folks from all over the USA!
It's coming in 2023, some 37 years since all this Four-Stroke Singles National Owners Club (FSSNOC) fun and foolishness began!
Our goal is to gather as many members as we can, and with our new M.O.R. program now in affect, attending members can travel and arrive via any type conveyance they choose ... that, of course, still includes Thumpin' in on a Thumper!
Our plan is to make it as equal distant from all directions within the continental United States as possible ... more info coming so stay tuned here at the ThumperGarage and pass along the information to those other members who may not be routine visitors to our site.
Also, information will be coming to FSSNOC members in our traditional paper hold-it-in-your-hands Thumper News magazine #150 and more later in Thumper News #151!
A word about you guys and gals. You've been around since 1986, or at least some of you have. You've all been loyal, so loyal! You've attended more than 150 ThumperCafe events over those 36 years that have been held in 45 of the 50 states that make up the United States of America.
To attend and to return to your home from those events, collectively you've ridden more than 3,600,000 Thumper miles.
You've participated by contributing and/or reading 149, soon to be 150, issues of our hold-it-in-your-hand magazine, Thumper News.
You've perused more than 4768 Thumper-related pages in printed form. You've read more than ... get this, more than 1,907,200 words - say that number aloud. Wow, just WOW!
You've worn our club t-shirts for years, to races, to work, to family gatherings, to swap meets ... I've been at motorcycle events all over this land and often I'll hear a distant shout - "Hey, FSSNOC!" and there You are.
You've told your friends and family about our club. FSSNOCers have even purchased their friends full year memberships. You've renewed many times over. You have been ... AWESOME for more that 36 years!
Why is the will of this club so strong? Why has this club remained active and vibrant for more than 36 years? Because of YOU!
It's time, I want to shake your hand, whether it be for the first time or the 150th time, I want us to gather in one place at one time for one moment. We cannot put it off any longer ... it will happen in 2023.
WAIT FOR IT - wait for it, the date is: June 21, 2023, a Wednesday ... we will welcome the first day of Summer together ... YOU and I (and Carrie - grin).
Thank you for your time. - Jack, #000 FSSNOC DIRECTOR
