SPROCKET’S TRAVELS

             Hi everybody!  My name is Sprocket.  I am a member of the Blue Knights San Diego Chapter VI.  My close friend, Trak the Bear had so many tales about his two year trip from San Diego to Europe that I knew I had to do some traveling myself. I thought that I would love to see the beauty of the United Stated and Canada  On June 3, 2009 I rode with Glenn and Sue Carpenter from El Cajon t the Marriott Hotel in Ventura Beach, California to attend the Southwest Conference annual meeting. What a great bunch of fellow Blue Knights were in attendance. The Host Chapter CA XVII out did themselves with showing us all a fabulous time. On the last night of the meeting  June 6, 2009,  at the Award Banquet I was introduced to the Blue Knight who had traveled the longest distance to attend and that turned out to be the Blue Knight International Treasurer, Russ Harper from New York Chapter XVIII. I am now on the road with Russ and his wife in route  to the next Blue Knight Function and from there who knows where. I will be joining up with the next Blue Knight who has traveled the furthest to attend a meeting or activity.  RIDE WITH PRIDE!     06-03-09

           He was very busy for the couple weeks in NH.  He visited our chapters yearly Corn Roast and also other parts of the state.  We stopped by Wiers Beach, where the Laconia Bike Week happens.  He also visited some of the animals at the Animal Rescue League of NH.  He spent time with my son having breakfast.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.
