2009 5TH ANNUAL BEARTOOTH KAWASAKI FORUM REUNION

// July 15th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Big JimmyK's Blog

We just finished our 5th annual Beartooth Kawasaki Forum Reunion this past weekend and what a great time we had. We have riders from all over the U.S that make the trek each year to spend time and ride with folks they have met on the www.kawasakimotorcycle.org riders forum. This year we had several of the administrators and moderators from the forum make the trip to Red Lodge Montana to participate in the festivities along with several members. This group boosts my faith in humanity these people are the salt of the earth. It does my heart good to see so many so willing to befriend and help other people. All year long the forum members get to know each other, share riding experiences and riding knowledge with each other and truly become life long friends. In this case the internet is simply amazing how it brings these people together. This year on our Beartooth Kawasaki night we had dinner catered by Famous Daves out of Billings then we were lucky enough to have the Munirah Belly Dancers perform to a very appreciative audience, not something you would normally see at a biker rally30407d1247413140-red-lodge-beartooth-kawasaki-forum-rally-2009-july-10-12-100_4343b however this isn’t a typical biker rally. Singer songwriter Dennis Erickson also performed with several original songs that are of a very impressive nature this guy writes first class music. Taking the stage at 8:00 was the BTK Forum Band or the”Houndogs” playing a variety of  Classic Rock, Country, R&B. everyone danced and had a great time , ending the evening was a performance from forum member Scotty Luv with some 80’s rock and then on to the campfire sing along! We are all looking forward to next year and thanks to all who made the trip!

The Adventures Of A Incurable Optimist !

// May 8th, 2009 // No Comments » // Big JimmyK's Blog

I watched this special with Michael J. Fox last night and I was taken back by what an impact in had on me. At a time like this in our nation where it is very easy to let our minds slip into some serious stinking thinking this show was an uplifting experience. Here is a man that has a progressive debilitating disease airing a special to lift Americas spirits and help us to see the good in everything we do. The optimist, he showed the optimistic people from our country as well as some overseas. We need more of this type of programming, this is stuff we are all made of if we aren’t led down the path of over looking the good that is out there. Everyday is a wonderful day and we can find good every where if we just look past the stuff that the news media is convinced makes good programming. I was also very impressed with the number of americans that volunteer their time to help fellow man. We are a nation with many people who will lend a hand to a neighbor or give their time to help people in need. I once heard that if we all just did one thing good for mankind per day we could change the whole planet. One good deed per day is not hard we just need to be aware. Have a great day America!

Stano Bustos Memorial Concert The Stano Bustos Memorial Foundation is another shining example of people helping people. In our community we lost one of our greatest citizens. He was a single guy who always put his community first, he loved where he lived and the people who lived in the community. He helped raise the youth even though he didn’t have children of his own. He gave of his time to teach skiing to the kids, always was first on the scene at a benefit or fund raiser. The Stano Bustos Memorial Foundation was established to keep his memory alive and what he stood for. The Foundation raises funds to give back to the community through scholarships for the kids, boys and girls club, funeral expenses for victims, child services, hospital foundation, ski programs and many other community needs. The 2009 Event will take place this July 25th at Bueg’s Riding Arena in Red Lodge, Montana and will feature a premier regional band Billy Waldo and the Flying Grizzlies with opening act to be determined.
