Kitkatz came to Appleton with her daughter Maria to visit Christy and I and my Brother Koa. We visited for a while then went to a nice Italian resteraunt for lunch. Kitkatz and Maria heve never ridden on a motorcycle before, so we helped them out allowing them  one more item, to check off their bucket list, and we have the pictures to prove it. The girls just left to go shopping, and then they will donate to the Casino up in Green Bay before Kitkatz and Maria have to head back to Milwaukee.

Glad you all had a good time.
Nice to see a older chopper with a springer front end.  Or at least a springer front end.  Makes me miss my old ride.
Ps.  No helmet law huh....

Great pictures!  These are the times that make me love IHD so much.  We are real people who love each other.  And we seek each other out to meet in person.  Kit and Sluff, so glad you got to spend time together again.  And Maria looks like she is having fun, too.  The pictures make me smile!

No helmet law in Wisconsin.  We were just in Georgia at the beginning of the month and forgot to take our helmets along. My Brother got pulled over and they let us get him a helmet without a ticket. The fine is $25.00 in GA for not using a helmet but here is the kicker.  They take you to jail, book you and make you post a bond to get out of jail, just for not wearing a helmet.. :rofl;

One comment I have to make is that I am envious at the quality of Mom and Daughter here. I really enjoyed our visit and it was a humorous one to say the least.  Mother and Daughter? maybe, best friends? ABSOLUTELY! Kit and Maria you are both a hoot.

It was fun.  It meant alot to me to take kitkatz and Maria on the bikes especially that they had never ridden before.  It takes alot of trust to get on the back of a bike.

Thanks for posting the pictures - you guys are all so awesome.   

Sluff - quite a bike ride from WI to GA - was your butt sore?

I live in a State where there is a helmet law and it wierds me out when I go out of state and see no helmets.
