Keysyrider Posted March 21, 2014 #1 Posted March 21, 2014 Is anyone on this Board a member of the Retreads MC?
ACE50 Posted March 21, 2014 #2 Posted March 21, 2014 Never heard of 'em. Considering the problems you can have with new tires and tires such a safety item on a bike, I don't think I'd try one. Maybe my ignorance typing though.
alwrmcusn Posted March 21, 2014 #3 Posted March 21, 2014 I believe I have heard of the Retreads, but don't think I've ever met any of their riders.

Keysyrider Posted March 22, 2014 Author #9 Posted March 22, 2014 I was just wondering if any members of this forum belonged to the Retreads and are going to the International Conference in Branson in May. I have planned a four day pictresq ride to get there, then some great riding in the Ozarks.
Brake Pad Posted March 22, 2014 #10 Posted March 22, 2014 Retread were big in NJ. But I was only in my 20's at the time:stirthepot:
mcgwire723 Posted March 22, 2014 #11 Posted March 22, 2014 I was not aware of their convention In Branson. I am not a member, but I live in Branson. If any members here are coming to town, let me know if you want to meet up and go on a ride, some AWESOME places here to ride.
Pegasus1300 Posted March 22, 2014 #12 Posted March 22, 2014 I was always going to join them when I turned 40 but then they kinds faded form sight and I forgot to join when I turned 40 and didn't think about it until a few years ago.By then I didn't care.
Keysyrider Posted March 22, 2014 Author #13 Posted March 22, 2014 My wife and I joined a couple of months ago because we have some friends that recently joined. We have over 80 members in the Kawartha Chapter and it is very active, in soite of their octogenarian membership. You have to be 40 or over to join so that pretty much eliminate the squids on the crotch rockets. The convention is in Branson from Monday, May 5 to Thursday, May 8. They have rides going every day but on Thursday we are heading down to Eureka Springs. Two years ago I wrote three stories about Arkansas for Motorcycle Mojo, the premier Canadian motorcycle mag. Going back to see a couple of people we met who own the Grand Central Hotel and have dinner and listen to Jerry Yester.
