 A long time ago in a forum far, far, away there was a group of riders that would get together for "Flash Mobs". Once a month, then twice a month they would gather around for drinks, dinner, and a bit of conversation.
As a result of those get together's...the "Flash Mods" if you will, they got close...became friends.

But time has a way of marching on. Life can become more complicated...people move...work becomes hectic, friends can just drift away and what was the norm is forgotten.

Well, not last night...last night was a reminder that life is short...and it is up to you to keep the things you hold dear.

Many thanks to Kris Cook for opening up her home and laying out the warm hospitality.   


Here is a couple of short, crappy, and to dark cellphone videos of a bright wonderful night.







Lets do this again.  ;) ;)

Great time!  It's been a long, cold winter.  I appreciate everyone coming out to Forestdale!

Yea, that's DonR...but he IS kinda weird.  :D

The Lady who put it all together...the one and only Kris Cook!



And now the star of the show, the center of warmth, the cooker of ooey gooey marshmellows...Ladies and Gentlemen may I present the 1 and only...FIRE ;

Damn.  Upstaged by that insane MOON. 

Thanks for the pics, and that bag of super gigantic marshmallows, which you left at my house!  We'll fry up the rest of them next time you guys fall by.   :)

It wasn't planned at all.  It just sort of blew up like a nor'easter.  And I can't really throw a big party any more because it will mess up Dad's world too much.  His dementia is bad these days.

And these days won't last forever.  I look forward to future Forestdale meltdowns!

Springer has a good point .... we need more social events.

They don't have to be at somebody's house.  I know that I don't want 20 of you in my house.   :D



Moderator note: We prefer events that are posted in advance and invite all members.

(a) Get to know people outside of your circle, and
(b) Give new members a chance to get to know us.

It would be nice if ten (10) members would take it upon themselves to post an event this year.  Invite others, promote it, and help grow the MC-AL community.

That looks like a lot of fun!

I know this is out of left field but what bike is that in the first video?  I'm hearing straight cut gears, but I don't recognize the windshield.

Yep, the Africa Twin, a very capable motorcycle. Unfortunately that one is piloted by rider who can't really ride, he just pretends to...badly.  ;)

With the weather warming up...some day, I am looking forward to attending moare Flashy Mobs. While the introwebs give us a place to type our opinions and thoughts, nothing beats the caveman (and cavewoman) style of setting around a campfire, a table, or just on the ground, while grunting at each other in real time.  ;) ;)


Cool times it is.  8)
