Well, we had a relatively early start if you call that around 9 am. Late for me but oh well. We got ourselves organized and made the hour treck into Missoula and stopped at the dealership there.
The owner was more then happy to donate to our cause and one of the employees came outside just as we arrived and had to have pictures done with us. Everyone thought that we just were the best. All the pink!
It has been great riding along without a helmet for the last 2 days and somehow I managed to tie a bandana on tight enuf to keep the wig from blowing off. Yep just imagine the three of us riding down the highway, Flo in all her pink leather and both Tanya and I in pink wigs!!! Quite the sight. We had people waving and thumbs upping us as they went by. When we went through construction sights the workers were all giving us thumbs up and waves. It was great. Had one guy that had to race by us and give us the hang loose sign and then cut over infrontof us and hit an exit. He still was waving as we went by.
We made our way across the interstate towards CDA and managed to collect a few donations along our route. We stopped in CDA at the dealership and received more donations both from the dealership and customers. At the same time as we arrived I had BigE texting me that he had arrived at the motel 10 minutes down the road with (unbenounced to Flo) Carl in tow. Now how to surprise her. Told them to come to the dealership and I would keep Flo inside so just E could come in. Meanwhile she is supposed to be going in the store and listening in on my conversation and almost caught what I was up to. |But she did go in and was able to set things up. She was fighting me the whole time cause she wanted to stay outside and video her bro riding in. Her and that damn camera what a pain in the ass. Got her moving so she could do her speel inside and kept a watch for the boys.
The boys arrived and E came inside and hugs all around. Then of course had to head outside just because and then E started teasing her that his pipes were having an echo. She didnt clue in at first but Carl was around the corner and Flo didnt know. E revved the bike again and sure nuff Flo clued in and OMFG off the charts again. This time atleast she wasnt on the highway. It was another unforgettable moment for sure.
After all the excitment, we got our shit togeather and headed to the motel, with Peppermint Patty and Jim in tow (who had met us at the dealership) We checked in , had a beer and unloaded, cleaned up slightly, fixed my wig so it wasnt blowing sideways anymore. we then gather up again and headed off to Cruisers, which is a drive thru bar right on the state line. Jim had dropped off the camera for us so that they could video all of us riding through.
We got to Cruisers and they were ready for us, mind you they couldnt miss all the pink. Thankfully it wasnt that far cause that damn pink feather boa was causing me to eat feathers no matter how slow we were moving. They taped us thru and it is on facebook. We set up a table of all the items since the last tour pack sale and set to work at selling things off. The owner of Cruisers, Sheri bought $150 worth of stuff and then we had several others that came over and bought things. Sheri even donated quite a few items for us to donate at our next tour pack party. Flo and I decided that we hadnt made quite enuf money and that we needed to make more. So after Bryans mention about bras in the rafters we decided to run with something else. Flo and I escaped into the bathroom and she took off her bra and we wrote on it with the Conga logo and then went around the bar having people sign the bra for a donation while I wore her bra. We made about 35 bucks and then hung the bra from the rafters.
After that we headed back to the motel and relaxed and joked around and had a good evening.
