Let Those Who Ride Decide

Michigan has become the 31st state to drop their mandatory helmet law for all motorcyclists. This leaves Vermont in the solid minority of only 19 states (one of two New England states) that mandates that all riders must wear helmets. Congrats and thanks to all the riders in Michigan who fought so long and hard for the right to choose.

Next Meeting

Our next monthly meeting will be at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at the American Legion in Orleans, VT.

11th Annual Harley Raffle 2012 Winner

Here’s the winner of the Harley from the 2012 raffle. I don’t have his name right now. Pictured are UMV President Donnie Henn, the winner, UMV Vice President Holly Wilkins, Karen L. and two others from the winner’s party.

There are more pictures on Facebook and we’ll post even more soon. It may have been -5 outside on Saturday night but One Night Stand was burning up the VFW inside. We had a full house, a line at the door to get in for the dance and everyone had a great time. See you there next year – Saturday, January 12, 2013. Doors open at 4:00 PM.

New UMV Logo Items

Our new lapel pins are in and will be available at the monthly meetings or at the Harley Raffle in January. We’re putting in the first order for personalized shirts now, if you’re interested in one, let us know ASAP. We will be able to reorder but we’re putting in the first order now.

The shirts will be a long-sleeved, cotton/poly blend with the logo embroidered on the left chest and your name on the right chest. The logo will be available on other items as well: shirts, jackets, hoodies, etc. The long sleeved black shirts will cost about $30 – $35 each.

Update – 12/9/2011

Here’s a scan of the logo actually embroidered on black material and it looks great. We’re probably going to drop having the names put on the shirts, we can always wear name tags.
