Helena Montana!!! Robin, Leathers and More

Flo,

I hear that you're coming to Helena. YAHOOOO!

 To check out our store and I also have had conversations with Karen. We would like to feed you all lunch, a BBQ at our home. Karen said that would be great. Our home is on the way out of town. I let Karen know that my husband will be on the highway just before you get into town (and I will let you know where) to film you coming in. 

I asked Karen and would also like to ask you if I can lead you Ladies into town? If its okay, I would like to have my husband film me leading you into town as well. I asked Karen if she could get somewhat of the a count of riders and give me a call when you get into Superior. 

We're going to Costco to get the food on Friday night. And I also asked her if she would call me Sunday when you Ladies leave Superior and take Garrison Junction/Helena exit to give me an idea when you will be in. I'm actually thinking the filming at the bottom-East side of McDonald Pass. Mountains, open and awesome road. I will let you know for sure. Do you have a cell number?

I would like to Thank you for all that you do and I feel very honored and excited that you all are coming to Helena, our store and home. Thank you for changing the route. I know you're busy so I will keep in touch.

Ride Safe and Have a Blast.....

Conga Fever

Whelp.. 2 more sleeps and the Conga III hits the open road. Hard to believe!! We have hit our goal.. $14,000.00 for Breast Cancer. The fever is in the air... People have hit the road from North Carolina, getting ready for kickstand up on Vancouver Island, down Texas way, they are exploding with emotion. People are coming from Saskatchewan...Emails are coming in left right and center from people I have never even spoke to before, with well wishes, prayers and blessing, to say thank yous for what we are doing.
I just put in my last day at the ol Barbershop. I decided to close it rather than pay the bills while I am gone. Not to worry, I already have another place to go to when and if I get back... lol  It's all good, 
Conga Fever!!
A lot of ups... and a few little downs, but I tell you nothing will get in my way of making this another amazing Conga ride. I see good things in the future, not only for work, but for the Conga and all the people that have so willingly stepped up to the plate to make it one hell of an event. Not only are we raising money for a cause, we are meeting women for the first time. From the INTERNET... Yup.. again, a small world we live in.. So big, yet so small. I want to say I have met, but I haven't, even tho it feels like I have. Some of the coolest people. People from magazines, that want to do a story on us or cool people like lets say... BRENDA FOX
I mean really ...I can say she is my friend. Who is Brenda Fox you say??


The founder of women motorcyclist is Brenda Fox, a Spokesperson for Women in Motorcycling, Professional Motorcycle Test Rider, journalist, stunt actor ... and high-profile motorcycle enthusiast whose inner circle includes AMA Hall of famers Malcolm Smith, Skip Van Leeuwen, Danny LaPorte, reads as the "who's who" of the best motorcyclist in the world. Few women have had the opportunity to ride with motorcycle icons such as Jesse James and Arlen Ness, but Brenda's pavement history includes legends such as these and other highly respected motorcycle greats. She has trained with Motorcycle Hall of Fame legend Fast Freddie Spencer, raced in several SCORE Off Road races along the likes of the Baja 1000, and fitness trained with six time AMA National Motocross Championships "Golden Boy" Broc Glover.


How frickin cool is that.. She is a big supporter of the Conga and wishes us all well. If she was well, she would be riding with us this year. Hopefully next year she will be riding with a vengeance.

Conga Line in North Carolina hits the road.

Here is Tamela Rich one of our Conga Riders who has hit the road and make news where every she goes. She left from NC. Tamela is a new rider and has been sponsored by BMW. They have put her through extensive training to be safe out on the road. She is also on another mission besides the Conga. To write a book  "Tradeoffs: Leveraging the Longs & Shorts of Life.

She will be traveling 8000 miles, 20 states and 3 time zones

Go Tamela Go... and don't forget your shoulder checks!!!

Conga Reaches Goal of $14,000.00

With just a couple of days to go before, the Conga leaves Vancouver Island, we are proud to say that we have already reached our goal and our kickstands are not even up yet.

We had a car wash on the weekend at Steve Marshall Motors for the second weekend in a row and raised $800.00. With that and all the money we have been raising on the side, we managed to top it off, just before we leave. Pretty awesome I would say.

Brad from Shell, Wyoming  Flo/Karen:
Rene Huge (pro: Heugee) a reporter with the Cody Enterprise/Cody, WY called this morning. She wants to get in contact with her as soon as possible in regard to the Conga III Ride. Her phone number is: 307.587.2233 and her email is: rene@codyenterprise.com. KAREN: I think your group is coming from WA (right?) and planning on staying in Cody the 5th (?). I think I told you previously that it is real busy in Cody on the 4th of July weekend. I think I also told you that Claudia Wade is the head of the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce.

If you guys would contact these folks, I would really appreciate it. They can help get you Lots of $$$$ donation for your very worthy cause.
Let me know if I can help you any further.
Thanks, be safe and have a great ride.
See you all in Shell,

Words from the Wyz Wmn!!

It was too my surprise when I checked my mail today. There always seems to be something new every day. I never know whether it will be a PITA!! For those of you who don't know what it means, it means...

 PAIN IN THE ASS!!! WHO ME??  I know for a fact I can be. A lot think I am, and a lot think I am just me. So... I received this email today, and it made my eyes leak big time.. Words from the Wyz Wmn!

Karen WyzWmn Brown June 22 at 6:21pm

and before you head off on this year's conga I wanted to tell you how proud of you I am...

You've taken a simple thing like buying yourself a new ride...and molded it into an international event in support of a world charity for both men and women...you've worked tirelessly to raise funds and keep on top of everything...and being a former coordinator/provincial chair for a Canadian national motorcycling charity I have first hand knowledge of just how very hard that can be.

Just this minute I'm reminded of your first conga...and how upset you were cos you dropped it a couple of time when you were so frackin tired you couldn't see straight....and scared witless a couple of times...

So...just take a minute and look at yourself now...look at how far you've come, the friends you've made and the community you have created both in person and on line.

You are a force to be reckoned with Flo...sometimes maybe some people view that as a PITA.....but in this case I really think that's a good thing and I'm proud to call you friend.

with great respect

ELKS CLUB GARAGE SALE BARBECUE

We were there at 10am, on Fathers Day. Poor Wilbur being a Father had to spend it going witheflo selling burgers, or at least trying. He would get a bunch on, and by the time people arrived, they were like cardboard. So after a few times he said he would wait until people arrived, and then put them on. They didn't want to wait. So in total from 10-4pm, we sold 5 burgers and 2 dogs. We had a stack of over cooked meat, that we had a really big problem throwing out so we put them in a container in the cooler, and you should see this MEAN pot of chili I am cooking. Left over tomatoes, onions, burgers, wieners, and beans... Ha!! Waist not want not, when you come from a big family of 9.

The garage sale was pretty pathetic to start off. Honestly no one started arriving untill late in the afternoon. I was determined to sell some stuff, as I sure did not want to pack it all up again. I knew, that once i made up my mind, it would go to the Sally Ann at the end of the day, so why not take what little people were offering me.. Come on 50 CENTS??? This is a fundraiser, not that many cared. I can be as cheap as the rest but, I do know the value, and I never charge more, than I would be willing to pay. I would rather give it to someone than get 50 CENTS!!

So.. although the barbecue was PATHETIC...LOL I made about 500 bucks on my stuff, and and other $200 on just nice people donating for the cause. Like this one guy who was actually at our Car wash, came to buy 2 pink pens... He gave me $30 bucks... omg, told me he lost his wife while they were in Mexico, she had cancer and it went through her body so fast she couldn't get home. So then we get to talking and he says he will be right back. He went to the book store and bought these 2 Harley Davidson books valued at $65 each and said I hope you can make some money at a raffle.

Barbecue not going so well!!

White boots did not sale again!!

Steve Marshall Motors Carwash

Great time at Steve Marshall Motors doing the car wash. Even my 80 year old mother came out to help. She donated $3,000.00 to help me and my brother cover expenses in memory of our sister who passed away of Cancer in 1996. When she first got there she started to cry and wanted to leave. It didn't take long and she was one of  the rest helping out. People came from all over to donate. We ended up raising $1055.00 which was the exact figure we needed to set us to our goal of $7,000.00 donated for the Canadian Breast Cancer Society. Our American sisters are a little behind, but I have no doubt in my mind they will soon catch up. 

 It ended up being a very hot day and everyone worked so hard. It is so greatly appreciated, words can not describe. Hard work but very exhilarating and rewarding. Thankyou to all that came out to help and that donated.

Conga III National!! From Texas to Vancouver Island...Conga Baby!! Save those ta tas!!

Behind the scenes in Texas

Hi Cynthia, Thank you so much for profiling the Conga III Ride for Breast Cancer.  I'm sorry I can't be there with you tomorrow when you meet Cindy (TexasRed). I know first hand what it is like to hear the words "You have Breast Cancer".  I was diagnosed on October 20th, 2008, and having never been sick a day in my life I can tell you it was totally unexpected!  Within three weeks of being diagnosed I had a biopsy followed by a mastectomy.  I started chemo a month later (and no I don't look good bald! ha!) and finished chemo April 2, 2009.  Those are dates I'll never forget. During the 2009 Conga II run I can't tell you how much I wanted to join everyone - but was sidelined with treatment.  I followed the Conga II every day, riding each mile with Flo as she crossed the USA.  Her travels got me through my last month of treatment.  This year I am riding ..... I am riding for the many wonderful women and men who are in treatment right now, I am riding for those that need funding to get treatment, and I am riding for those we have lost.  Well all that and I really want to meet this Flo character I've known on-line at WWR for over three years! ha! In 2009 One in Eight women had breast cancer. By 2019 One in THREE are expected to have breast cancer. Breast cancer also affects men. My story is just one of millions.  Mine has a happy ending.  Please do what you can to support the Conga III.  The Conga may pale in comparison to many of the large cancer fund-raisers, but this is a group of women motorcycle riders who aim to make a difference AND have a great time doing it.  And, you know what happens when you get a bunch of determined women together! ha!  Stuff Happens! Thanks again for your time and effort to profile and promote the Conga III.  Every dollar raised will make a HUGE difference in research and treatment.  Let's make this a nightmare our children won't have to deal with. PS - If you see a bunch of women on motorcycles decked out in Pink - you'll know it is the Conga heading through to Kick Cancer to the Curb!  Join us if you can..... we aim to have a mighty good time! Regards, Debbie Payne Dayton, TX 1-year Survivor!

Words of encouragement!

Hey Flo.... just a word of encouragement to you and your friend that was diagnosed with lung cancer - saw your post on Facebook.  I'm so damn sorry to hear about it.  But please don't give up hope!  You have done more in a couple of short years than most people do in a lifetime to help find a cure.... a cure for ANY cancer is a positive step for ALL cancers.  It sure does seem that 50 is a trigger.......research is key...... people get cancer for no good reason every day - it didn't run in my family either until I got it - who knows - can't be pissed at the world for it - we just have to take it day by day and enjoy every single minute we have.  

Conga III will make a difference for someone .... maybe someone you don't even know through research/testing etc. ..... and those of us lucky enough to participate even in some small way will have memories to last a lifetime for the trip we made to Cheyenne going-with-the-flo.... 

Hugs to you my friend.... please pass along our support and prayers to your friend.  He'll be in our hearts as we make the ride next month.

A fun day Fund-raising

A typical day of riding! Actually we haven't had to many with work and weather, but if the weather stays on our side, wow, it really works. We were out on a scavenger hunt with a group of friends and had to stop along the way to look for different items or do different things. Anyway whenever we stopped people would horde around us, first to look at our bikes and then of course us in our pink blinged leathers. They would ask if they could have their picture taken with us. That was was when it all started to come back to me.. We can make a dollar from each person that stops us, we might come home with a couple bucks for the cause. Wow did that work. We came home with almost $300.00 We also blinged out some Breast Cancer Magnets and if anyone gave us $10.00 we would give a magnet.  It was an absolute blast. One fella came with his big huge fancy camera and his wife had the big circle thing that reflected light even... We were having our own photo op, right on the Oceanside. The guy didn't want to stop. Look this way, look that way. He apologized for being so excited. God only knows where these pics will end up. All ages of people wanted pics with us. Even the young studs, it was crazy. Fancy looks at me after and said, omg, I feel like a celebrity. I told her to get used to it because it will get worse, or better depending how you look at it.
A funny story when we were in the mall, buying something pink, and of course the questions start and the story comes out. This young buck, looks over at us and says....You lady's I bet you are out there on trikes aren't you? Now nothing about trikes,,, I love them, but he is thinking we were too old to ride 2 wheels. My should go back, I feel the frown coming, and wanted to say..... young man, I am going to Trike you in a minute....lol So you should have seen the look on his face when we told  him we road Hogs...Ha!!
So off we go to the Coombs market to finish our Scavenger Hunt. It was so busy in there we had to ride ever so slow and the people were smiling and whistling and thumbs upping, and snapping pics. It was like we were a 2man parade..  We pull up infront of this cool little store and everyone from inside the store came out and people were swarming around again.  Again, we share out stories and the guys even were totally impressed. One lady walks up and says I love you, I am a survivor and I found $40 bucks on the ground today and I want you to have it.. Another guy gave us $40. We were there for a good 45 minutes with people handing us cash and taking pics. We never go anywhere with out some token gifts to say thank you.
We were telling them to watch for us on the news tomorrow night, handing out our cards with the website, and email address. People are going to mail in their pics and I hope to get them on the web. I wish I had taken pics of the groups, it just caught me off guard. Fancy and I decided, it is pink and nothing but, from here on in, when we are out on the road.
Can you just imagine when we get the bigger groups going. So ladies... when you are out on the Conga, where lots of pink, smile lots, and if someone smiles back, that means they are interested in whats up. The will pull out some change and donated to the cause. Be sure to carry a bag for all the money lol.

Carnival Caribbean Cabana

With  just over  2 weeks to go before we hit the highway, this are moving right along daily. Fancypants and I are out and about collecting donations where ever we go. This day, Wain from Carnival Caribbean Cabana in Courtenay, handed us a check for $150.00 which he donated $1.00 from every order of Johnny Cakes sold in the month of May. Be sure to try them, he serves delicious Mango butter with them. He has a great menu of authentic Caribbean food.

OMG WE DID IT!!

 omg, I am so stoked... I had heard it takes a couple of months to apply for a license to sell tickets on a motorcycle. It had come to our attention a couple of times, that we should do that. Seemed like alot of work to me. The office gal that I am not. There are so many things that I am not good at.. Anyway, thank God our secretary Fancy is good at writing letter, doing office work, keeping track of things and getting things done. Knowing how to  respond in a professional way. 
WE GOT A LICENSE TO SELL TICKETS ON A BIKE!!! WHOOO HOO We have the bike too. Kevin from International Classic Motorcycles in Errington has given us the bike at cost. So hang on, a pic of the bike will be posted soon... Thanks Kevin and Cathy from  International Classic Motorcycles in Errington, be sure to stop in and say hello and thanks.

Conga Interview in Texas!!!

What: Channel 8’s morning anchor, Cynthia Izaguirre interviewing the North Texas Conga line

When: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 8:30 AM

Go Texasred/Cindy

Cindy is our Texas Conga Organizer and doing one heck of a job!!

Behide the scenes down Texas way!!!!!

This email is to let you know about the Conga III, Ride for Breast Cancer, an international motorcycle ride put on by the WWR, Women Who Ride, an online forum for lady riders.

It started as a ride from Florida to Vancouver Island and riders joined for as long as they could along the way or the Conga line. Last year they raise $12,000.00.

This year we are riding from where we are to Cheyenne, WY to join our Canadian sisters.

The Dallas group is riding out from Stroker’s Ice House www.strokersdallas.com (near Bachman Lake) on July 4^th at 11:30a.

You are invited to join us in the send off and celebrate those who ride for a cure. This year is going to be the best!

Cindy- would “Women Who Ride” be available for a shoot next Tuesday morning at 9:00 a.m.? We could meet with you at Bachman Lake or Stoker’s Ice House to do a story about your efforts this coming 4^th of July weekend. We would need as many riders there as possible.

-Cynthia Izaguirre

Let me check with my fellow riders. Although we have hundreds of riders in the U.S. and Canada, from North TX, we have several confirmed riders on this year’s Conga riding to the meet-up in Cheyenne. We would of course, would love to do that. I’ll also check with Rick Fairless, the owner of Stroker’s Dallas.

Thank you, Cynthia. We are hoping to kick dirt in the face of breast cancer and celebrate life along the way.

Conga riders,

I invited Cynthia Izaguirre from WFAA to see us off on July 4^th. She in turn invited us to a shoot to talk about the Conga III Ride for Breast Cancer. Conga, Conga, CONGA!

Squishes!!!

Squishes
 
Linda

My face started to leak this morning when this was the first email I wrote. It means so much to us to have the PA girls join the Conga even for a mile or two so an escort to the ferry, even by one, is very touching. I know if the others cant make it, it is only because they have previous commitments. Time is getting near and I am very sentimental. Linda is the gal that donated the very first Sassybiker Helmet to our very own BC Survivor Fancypants/Judy Snaith  here on Vancouver Island. The story goes back to Char from Sassybiker  from Women Who Ride was making the helmet you see in this picture for her best friend. Her best friend lost the battle. Char then donated the helmet to our Conga Breast Cance Causer, in memory of her friend. Linda in turn bid up to I believe it was $450,00 in memory of her father, sent me an email, to say she wanted to then donate it to a  survivor, that would be riding in the Conga. Did I know of anyone. I told her of Judy. Well the rest is history, here is the pic of her giving it to her. Judy is riding the Conga all the way with me. 
We will be on the road one full month raising money for this cause to help find a cure.
Less than 3 weeks away now, and I can't wait to give Linda a big Squish!!!

A nice letter! Ladyleadfoot!

I just saw the pics that you posted of your bike whilst you were deciding what else she might be needing to dress her up, and felt the need to write to you. hope you don't mind.

How much does she weigh, curb weight? I know it's not polite to ask a lady hew weight, but her size makes me a bit curious. who did your paint? how long is it? would you mind, whenever you get a chance, if you do, sending me, or posting, the specs on your ride? i am curious as hell about it.

i hope you don't mind, but i have saved this pic to use as my desktop background, replacing the pic of my current item of lust- the 2010 CVO softail convertible (in sapphire over abyss blue.) you and your bike inspire me, so i thought to keep you here to look at whenever i'm on-line.

i'm a cancer survivor, although not breast cancer; i look at it this way: cancer is cancer, no matter the type. i have lost friends to cancer, many different types, much to my sorrow; i am also blessed to have some friends that have gone through it and are still here. i'm amazed that i'm still here. if it were not for a most amazing man, his patience, surgical talent, and willingness to admit his limitations and ask for help (a surgeon without a God complex- how unusual!), i probably wouldn't be here writing this letter to you. it's been almost 12 years now, and i thank God every morning when i wake up and every night just before i go to sleep.

thank heavens you look good in pink, flo! after all, you do wear a little bit of it...

thanks for taking the time to read this. i hope to hear from you some time soon. will you be passing through western massachusetts at any point on your congaride? if so, then i hope to get a chance to meet you. if not, i'll follow your wanderings to and fro here on facebook.

until the next time, take care, ride safe and God bless.

smiles-

Wilbur Rocks!! So does Quality Foods

 My brother has been out of work the past few days so we put him on  a mission, and he is doing one heck of a job!!
For the upcoming Car Washes and barbecues being held at Steve Marshall Ford in Campbell River, on the 19th and 26th this month, we needed around 300 buns, dogs, and burgers.. Off he went to Quality Foods and by golly if they didn't donate the whole kit and caboodle!!! This is awesome. Now all we need is some onions, someone to cut them...lol some tomatoes, and cheese! of course the cook and a few extra hands to wash cars and help out selling our Breast Cancer items! If there is anyone reading this living close by, we would love your help.. Thanks in advance, and don't forget to come get your car washed and have some lunch.
Things are moving right along!!!

Band Potential Trainwreck donates their time to Show and Shine

Potential Trainwreck

Four very different people held together by the incredible rush of playing our brand of high energy rock music live

This band is from Nanaimo BC

They have graciously donated their time to our up coming Show and Shine in Nanaimo Aug14 . The big finale of the fund raiser 

Steve Marshall Ford

Steve Marshall Ford in Campbell River are letting us use their lot for a car wash and barbecue on June 19 and June 26 to help raise money for the Cause. They will supply all the soap and buckets and soap etc for the cars and actually said she would be there helping if she doesn't have to work that day. The great think about the 19th is they are having a big car sale to. So this could be big!!
For the barbecue they will supply all condiments and the barbecue. So now we are on the hunt for hot dogs and buns and paper plates. Of course we are looking for extra hands, and to help spread the word!!
So if you are out and about those days please stop by and if you feel like helping we could use you. Any ideas are always welcome.
Big thanks to Steve Marshall Ford for letting us use their lot!!

Draggie asking for help for Show and Shine!!!

Hey all, time is creaping up on us quickly. Before yall know it you will be on the road. I would like to get some input from the group as I cant run the show by myself and will need some helping hands the day of the event.

First off those in the north island area, can you please pass out the flyers to draw attention to the event. I have 2 types, the main pink 8x10 to hang up at businesses etc, and also a 5x7 size that I have copied in black and white to hand out to riders as you run into them at different places. It all helps to get the word out so that hopefully we will have a huge day.

Well you are out with posters, also see if you can hunt down door prizes for the show. I am collecting them but so far they are all on the south island, need more from up north. I have a donation request letter if you want a copy.

For either of the flyers or letter just send me a message and I will email it to you.

Now as for the day of the show, I am going to need a few hands to help out and if we have enuf people willing then we can all take a short period of time working the event but still be able to enjoy ourselves as well.

Please give me an idea of what you are willing to help out with. I will need:

Help at the registration table - collecting the entry fee, and registering the bike in the categories
50/50 ticket sellers
A judge or 2, that arent planning on entering their own bike
miscellaneous help as it may occur


Also anyone that can come early to help set up would be appreciated, as Im going to have my hands full.

Please let me know ASAP if and what you are willing to help with and if you are going to be there early or not so I can set some kind of schedule in order.

Thanks for the help and lets make this a huge finale for this event!
