“Teflon” Steve, (there is a story behind the name, lol), here from Andover, Ks. Yep a FNG this year. I will be joining you all in Junction City, Ks and riding rest of the way on the Central Route. I joined the Army in 1981 as a Field Radio Repairman, (later found out what that “field” part meant), discharged in 1985, couldn’t find decent work and rejoined in 1989 - 1993. I do have a quick question, when do I register at Junction City, the evening of everyone’s arrival or the next morning?

Welcome “Teflon” Steve! good to have you with us!!
I am also on the Central route so i will see you out there!
As for your registration/Check in question, It is a great idea to check in the night before this way you can enjoy breakfast and you are not running around trying to get settled before the morning briefings!
Exact time and location of the evening registration will be posted in the Route itinerary.
I look forward top riding with you!!
Is it May yet???

Hello Bill, Johnnie “Bravo 6” Huddleston here. I live in MS but I used to work in Spokane as a gas pipeline Inspector with Avista Utilities. I met lots of cool people there. When I was in the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club the President gave me a bike to ride all summer since he purchased a new one. I still have friends there that I’ve been trying to convince to ride with us.

MS. Rogers, glad to have you join us as an FNG. welcome home! I am Johnnie “Bravo 6” Huddleston, the Platoon Coordinator for the Southern Route. I’m gonna assume that riding name was from you being a teacher and that 4th grade class had you eating crayons. I used to be a subsitutite in Little Rock; that 4th grade class broke me!

Hey everyone,
I am Joshua Hanson, I served 15 yrs in the Marines before I retired. My step father is Lee “Moses” Thacker former Marine and Vietnam vet. He has been on this run for many years now and I always have said that I will do the rum with him some day. As this might be his last year to go all the way, I have taken the time to run it with him. This is my FNG year, I will be riding from MT to Ontario, I am riding the southern route all the way, then taking a northern route back to MT. Total route should be close to 6,000 miles.

Greetings Lloyd. We have an RFTW Breakfast/lunch meeting on the 4th Saturday of every month at the Cornerstone Cafe in West Sacramento. We usually at least 20 folks show up from around the area, a couple even come from NV. Officially it starts at 11 AM but getting there 15 or 20 minutes early is cool. 1617 Sacramento Ave, West Sac on 3/28/2026. We hope you can make it. We usually have a group ride from NCAL to Ontario leaving pretty early on Monday morning heading to Ontario. You’d be welcome to join that as well. -rb
