Ok. Last Post of the Day.

Last weekend the local Harley shop had Thunder Mountain Custom Cycles bring their demo bikes. Oh Yeah! It was very sweet. 103 ci of power. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to ride one of their bikes. Here's a few pics of a couple of friends and i while we were there.

Here's Dan on the Sterling.


Here's Bill on the Sterling also. (Needless to say they did not ride in the same run.)

Here's me on the Firestone
here's a better look at the bike that i rode.

Camp Stuff in July

We went to 2 camps in July. Which was a lot of fun, but very tiring. We took our Senior Highers to Lift Student Ministries in Arkansas. Which was great. they had each church build a tricycle for a spoof of "pimp my ride," and of course our trike won hands down. Here are some pictures of us building it.

What it was....

the evolution of a trike....

And now the painting phase.
"Mommy, who's that fat guy painting the frame?"

A little paint huffing never hurt anyone, kid, just check me out.

Ok. So now it's painted and ready to be assembled, which of course i didn't get any pictures of. So with no further delay.....

The finished product. I give you "Lowrider"

oh yeah! Go Braden Go!!!!!

Here's the whole camp crew.

I almost forgot. Our Junior High didn't really go for camp very well this year, but here is the crew that i took this year.

In June Stuff

On the 1st Sunday in June a couple of us from church played hooky and drove out to Cassoday, KS for a great breakfast and a great bike show. Here are a few of the high lights.

Here's a sweet Pan


Here's a nice looking Bagger

...a Baaaad Soft Tail

...an unbelievable Heritage

and, of course, a Sweet Sporty
There were tons of other great bikes there, about 5000 or so; but these were a few of my favorites.

Problems with the video stuff

For some stupid reason i can't get the video to link with our blog, so it might be a while until i can get these videos on here. Until then enjoy the pictures.

Motorcycle Events This Summer

Ok. You are going to have to bear with me for a little bit. I am going to go back to May. These are some pictures of the Thunder in the Smokey motorcycle rally in Marquette, Kansas.
Yup. There are some pretty sweet rides here.

Yup. It's been a long time again.

We have been so busy this summer it has been insane. Hey, Park insanity, HA! Anyway, we have had 3 summer camps and the search for a new pastor and all the other stuff that goes along with summer. Ethan turned 2 last week. Yeah, that's crazy. Justin will be 4 next week, and William is starting school next month. (yeah, it's official I feel old.)
The summer camps for the teens were awesome. God moved in a great way in our group. We have brought in and voted on a pastoral candidate and we are waiting for a response from him. i really pray that this is it. I am very tired and adults aren't as fun to preach to as the teens are. I'll share more as i put the pictures up.
