Scott Baker What’s great about traveling the back roads of Texas and Oklahoma on a motorcycle with your buddies? Everything! The Robson Riders Motorcycle Club, looking for a short trip to just get away and reconnect with nature, recently headed to Oklahoma’s Arbuckle Mountains, approximately two hours outside of Denton. When thinking of Oklahoma,…
Stan Brein It is so wonderful that the warm weather is finally here, for many reasons. It seemed for a time that we would never be rid of winter. Maybe the intent was to make us appreciate the great climate we have for most of the year. All of us, whether we garden, pickleball,…
Stan Brein While there were no planned club rides in August that didn’t stop folks from gathering and riding. Ricky Hales had a rare day off on August 10 so he said, “Let’s ride.” And ride we did! The lunch destination was Mary’s Brazos Café in Tin Top. Well it’s really in South Weatherford, far…
Stan Brein Well, it’s officially summer. June 21, 12:24 a.m. CDT to be exact, was when the Farmer’s Almanac says that summer arrived.

Stan Brein Large group rides are wonderful events. A gathering of 10 to 30 riders makes for an impressive presence and a great chance for adventure and fellowship. While the logistics of such a ride are challenging, the rewards are great. It often turns out that the Robson Rider members are so busy and involved…
Stan Brein In North Texas we have come to expect the unexpected when it comes to the weather. Our lawns, shrubs and trees are very confused not knowing whether to remain dormant or make their annual entry. As motorcyclists we know that we are fortunate in being able to ride 12 months out of the…
Stan Brein Motorcyclists are a caring and giving lot. They use their organizational structures, i.e., motorcycle clubs, to promote good, help the needy, support the downfallen and back those who put their lives on the line for all of us every day. This is especially true when it comes to children and children in need.…
Stan Brein Sometimes the riding is so good that you get wrapped up in the journey. You become oblivious to your location and whereabouts, just drinking in the Zen of the ride. That’s how it was on September 15, which obviously was the first unintended mystery ride of the season. Two club members embarked from…
