The weather could not have been too much better. Temperatures were in the eighties all day. There was nary a cloud in the sky. A nice breeze keep everything from becoming too hot.

Ducati was on site doing demo rides of their bikes to kick off Atlanta Motor World becoming a Ducati dealer. This drew A LOT of people in to the dealership. About every hour, after they would return from a demo ride, we would sell a lot of burgers, hot dogs, and drinks.

Atlanta Motor World gave out door prizes about every 15-20 minutes and ended the day by giving away a nice leather riding jacket. We also raffled off a helmet and had our 50-50 drawing. All monies of course, went to Feed the Children.

Several riders took the Trivia Ride challenge and enjoyed a nice ride through north Fulton and Cherokee counties. The got to see a lot of beautiful countryside, horse farms that you would never realize was so close to the city. Eric Noel won 1st place by getting all the answers correct and getting back 2 minutes sooner than the other riders without coming in faster than the top secret allotted time. Mitch Argo was 2nd and Bill Sanders was awarded third.

A few riders entered their rides in the bike show. We had a couple bikes in the stock class, and some pretty heated competition in the semi-custom class. We had some very nice bikes entered...everyone was should have been a winner. The people voted and awards were presented. Winners are listed below:

Best Stock:                      Bill Sanders
Best Semi-Custom:     Henry Williams
Best Original Theme:  Freddie Arnold
Peoples Choice:            Henry Williams
Dealers Choice:             Eric Noel

After the tents were folded and the trailer packed several of us headed over to Sonny's for a quick bite and some cold tea.....a lot of tea. When it was all said and done. We raised  $562 for Feed the Children. A very successful day for our charity.

Finally, we are very grateful to Atlanta Motor World for their donation and assistance with the Show and Shine. It was largely through their generosity, cooperation and assistance that we were able to raise the $562 for Feed the Children. Please make sure you thank them by visiting their dealership when you need accessories, service or a new bike.
