From news at txpgr.org Tue Aug 12 15:54:12 2008 From: news at txpgr.org (News and Information for the North Texas Patriot Guard) Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2008 16:54:12 EDT Subject: [News_txpgr.org] Memorial Ride for Veteran Lile Goodspeed, Ft Worth, TX, 16 AUG 08 Message-ID: Saturday, Aug 16th as a memorial for Lile Goodspeed. We will meet at 8PM Saturday night at the Racetrack Station located at the Intersection of I-820 and North Beach St in North Ft Worth. This should take some of the heat factor out of considering to ride or not. We will have a short riders meeting and KSU will be around 8:15 to 8:20. Our route will take us north and west of I-35, then going east and crossing Lake Ray Roberts and then back south and west again into Decatur returning to the D/FW area between midnight and 1AM. Several riders have already committed to participating, and whether you knew Lile or not, ALL RIDERS are invited to come out and show support for our departed fellow rider and have a nice evening on our bikes. Thank You and God Bless? HighThrottle Mike Goley 817-317-8051 **************Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget? Read reviews on AOL Autos.

He found it on the web site but could not find the author. I hope the author, whoever he/she is, will not mind me passing it on to you. Bill UNDER THE LEATHER AND BEHIND THE SHADES Under the leather and behind the shades stands a biker. We ride for the sense of freedom it gives us. The encouragement to take the road less traveled in the chance that we may encounter something new. We ride for the friendships we make along the way, as well as, the solitude of the open road. We don't really care what you ride, just that you do. Under the leather and behind the shades is a beating heart. A heart filled with compassion that on any given day will be riding for those in need. Ask one of us for help, but don't be surprised when all of us show up. Under the leather and behind the shades stands a proud American. We are as diverse a group of people that you could possibly assemble. We are men, women, tradesmen, doctors, lawyers, retirees, military, civilian and on and on and on. We stand silently with reverence and one voice that, in the silence, can be overwhelming. Under the leather and behind the shades stands an invited guest to the funeral of a soldier that we most likely have never met. We hold the flag of our nation as a tribute to the greatest sacrifice anyone can make. Out of respect for the fallen, we travel to stand firm for a family, a community and a nation to lean on. Under the leather and behind the shades stands a biker with sons, daughters, brothers and sisters of our own. Beneath the rough exterior we tremble and weep at your loss. You may not see that, for we are there to support you. That?s why we stand so silently under the leather and behind the shades. **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.
