Hi Everyone! I hope that this note finds all of you in great health, spirits are high, and you’re ready to get on the bikes and ride, ride, ride! I am ready to go, just hope my hip is with me. It has been one long winter and people are really getting ready to get out of the house.
We had our March meeting at Bob’s, in Moses Lake. Just a few of us turned out, but it was very enjoyable. We talked about the Spring Banquet on April 29th and 30th. Looking forward to a great time. We also went over all the coming events, like the Washington State Rally, the Idaho State Rally and of course the International Rally at Myers Flat, California.
There are lots of things in-between these events, so there is no reason for you not to be involved. It takes a lot of work for the people putting these events on. I’m hoping that all of you get the chance to participate in some of them. Believe me, the friendships that are developed are really priceless.
Not much else going on. Hope to see all of you at the Spring Banquet. Until then, please ride safe, ride lots and most of all, have lots of fun.
Kevin and Kevi have a great day.

It was 28° this morning when Rick got here and we left for breakfast in Spokane. We'd got some rain overnight and the roads were plenty icy. In fact, we saw one full size pickup in the ditch who had let the ice get the best of him before we even got into Rear-dan. We arrived at Timber Creek Buffett and a few minutes later Charlie rode up on his bike. Not too much later, here comes John also on two wheels. Of the eight of us at breakfast, only those two were brave enough (or close enough) to be on two wheels. We still have plenty of snow on the ground out our way and we have less than Billie and Dave do over in north Idaho. As much as we want it to be, it's not spring yet. Rich is still enjoying the vagabond lifestyle in his motor home so Charlie ran the meeting while Dave sold 50/50 tickets. Dave held the can out for Becky to draw a winner and low and behold, the winner turned out to be Charlie! I'm not sure how much he won but I doubt it paid the bill for getting his elec-trical problem sorted out on his bike. He was headed for the dealership when we left breakfast to find out why his headlight would not stay on. John was leading the way with a functioning headlight hop-ing no one would notice Charlie running without. A very good thing it was a bright sunny day! Well, being the time of year it is, and being such a small turnout, I guess I've stretched this report for about all it's worth... Here's hopin' next month sees lots more bikes on the road. Perhaps that will be the case by the time this sees print. It is the 4th of March after all, can spring be far off? -Tom Wells

The Trev Deeley Museum by Derek Roberts
The Great Escape
Just outside of downtown Vancouver, BC, lies one of the most spectacular motorcycle collections in all of the Pacific Northwest. A rotating display of more than 240 classic and modern rides, the Deeley Exhibition is the perfect excuse to pack the panniers (or car trunk) and head to one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Known for its innovative and engaging expo-sitions as much as for the legendary family that assembled it, the Deeley Exhibition got its start way back in 1914 when Fred Deeley Sr. started one of Vancouver's first motorcycle shops, initially selling legendary British brands like Triumph and Norton. Soon after, in 1917, the Senior Deeley added the Harley Davidson line to the showroom floor, paving the way for one of the most successful manufac-turer-to-dealer relationships in the history of the industry. So successful, in fact, that nearly 100 years later, the relationship lives on in the museum connected to Deeley Har-ley Davidson.
Much of the credit for the powerhouse op-eration of course, goes to the original Dee-ley's grandson Trev, AKA Mr. Motorcycle, whose lifelong moto career included not only maintaining and growing the family business, but an award-winning, two-decade-long stint in professional racing, contributions to Harley Davidson's design and development, significant philanthropic work for motor-cycle education and a 1997 introduction into the AMA Hall of Fame. A story that is briefly highlighted as you transition from showroom floor to the museum's entrance and a history that after touring the current exhibit, "Motorcycles and Cinema" makes one wonder if the progenitor of the collection doesn't deserve a movie of his own.

The Trev Deeley Museum, continued . . .
Until that day arrives, we can thank the curators of this beautiful museum for showcasing the legendary mo-torcycle collection and for having put together a display that is entertaining for more than just the gear head. While many of us enjoy gazing at past engineering achievements for hours on end, "Motorcycles and Cinema" will have your riding companions or family members just as happy that they made the trip.
Tying together some of Hollywood's greatest big screen moments, with the motorcycles that made them happen, the latest exhibit has a decidedly pop culture flair, with references to classic motorcycle films like "Easy Rider" and "Viva Knievel" alongside more popular flicks like "Terminator," "Indiana Jones," and even Prince's' "Purple Rain." Though the actual motorcycles from these movies are not on dis-play, viewers are still treated to the same make and model, alongside movie factoids and trivia that make for a wholly unique museum experience.
Which is really what makes this exhibit so unique and enjoyable. Remembering some of the best (and worst) of Hollywood will surely have you talking with your fellow museum goers, reminiscing about your favorite movies and perhaps even what inspired you to take to two wheels in the first place.
Finishing up its second year, for now the Deeley Collection plans to keep the current exhibit running into the near future, keeping with their tradition of changing things up every 1 to 3 years. And while there is no word on what we can look forward to next, it's safe to say that "I'll be back."
