I have been to many car shows, Biker events and have seen a lot of unfortunate attitudes. Just living in NJ I see it everyday.
Then I came across this Forum.
Then I bought a Power Wagon with the help and advise of people I never meet.
Ten days after I recieved my PW, W500 Gary and I were on our way to the first ever Webster, Mass PW Rally in 1999. I was pulling my 53 PW and Gary was driving his 69 W500.
I had spoken to the rallies organizers John Horniak and Joe Cimoch and got more details and told them we will be there.
The trail ride was planned for 2pm.
Stuck in a HUGE traffic jam near Hartford, I figured we would miss the trail ride and most of the rally.
When we finally arrived at 2:45pm, we were greeted like family and I did not even have the chance to exit my truck before I was surrounded by people who were concerned about us and happy that we finally made it.
I was still sitting in my truck as Joe and John introduced themselves immeadiately and said that they waited for us to arrive before going on the trail ride. I can't think of a better reception.
The rest of the rally just kept getting better as we ran our trucks through the woods, made a camp fire at the Horniaks house, and camped out under the stars.
Everyone did their part to make the rally happen due to their love of these trucks and the people they meet.
I am always looking forward to seeing this group.
Thanks to all, for all the advice and friendship.
