Annual “Little \n Dave Run” January 20<\/b><\/p>\n

Dave Nappo, “Little \n Dave” was killed on his bike in 1995. Since then, through the \n co-ordination of his father, Big Dave, and with the support of his \n many friends, an annual ride has developed to remember Dave and \n other of our friends who have gone on before.<\/p>\n

This year the ride \n will be January 20 and will leave from the Z-Bar at 10:00 am.<\/p>\n

. Z-Bar is just South \n of Hwy 59 on Hwy 99 (The Grand Pkwy) <\/p>\n

This year we have had to add two more friends to the \n list, Fred \n de la Garza and “Smiley” Don \n Brewer.<\/p>\n

Plan to be there and \n be there early – it is always a good time to remember our friends \n that have been part of, and blessed, our lives.<\/p>\n

===============================================================<\/p>\n

Gilbert’s New Countyline \n Ice House<\/a> has a “jam session” every Sunday starting \n at 2 pm. This has proven to be very popular and the bikes have really \n packed the place on Sunday afternoons ever since this started. Don’t \n forget that Thursday is “$7 Steak Night” Steak, baked \n potato and salad. All you have to do is cook your own steak.<\/p>\n

Houston has a lot of new shops opening and existing shops moving \n into larger facilities. Recently I was at Confers \n Custom Cycles<\/a> and Richard Confers was showing me his personal \n bike – which is a real showpiece.<\/p>\n

Since I have had some less-than-satisfactory experiences with motorcycle \n paint shop I asked Richard who had done such a superb job on his \n bike. The answer was Top Cat Customs. I recently had the chance \n to visit with them. Full Story.<\/p>\n
