Harley riders continue to ride in Shreveport in January

According to Wikipedia, Shreveport is the third-largest city and the principal city of the fourth largest metropolitan area in the U.S. state of Louisiana, as well as being the 109th-largest city in the United States. Shreveport is a city with a population of just over 200,000 and a metropolitan area of over 375,0000 (according to the 2000 census).  Located in the northwest corner of the state, it's a great place to ride.  From anywhere in the city, in just ten minutes a rider can be out of town, riding on a country road with their knees in the wind.  Shreveport is a southern state, and southern hospitality is abundant.  Unlike some unfriendly cities in the United States, you'll feel a welcome air of relief when you ride in Shreveport.  With biker friendly establishments and a large Harley Owner's Group, this is the place for Harley riders.  And in Shreveport, January doesn't mean that the bikes are put away for the winter and hooked up to the battery tenders.  No, January in Shreveport means riding.  With temperatures sometimes reaching the mid 70's, it's no wonder so many folks settle down here.  The Bossier City Harley Owner's Group represents Harley riders in this area.  Their monthly meeting is today at 10:30 at the Bossier City Harley Dealership, 2225 Autoplex Drive in Bossier City.  The group is open to all local Harley Riders.  The only requirement is to own a Harley and be a member of the National HOG group.  The secretary of the HOG chapter can help you fill out the paperwork to get the membership started.  And then, you can sit back and relax while they make ride plans and schedule events for members.  And, yes they ride in January.  And, you can bet members of the group will be riding to the meeting on their Harleys today.  This member will!  Maybe I'll see you there.

    Okay - I'm a bit jealous. If we occasionally get to the 70s in the winter then we know severe weather will follow (as in a tornado). So although we might get a day or two in the winter months to ride, it never lasts long enough. **sigh**
