2nd Gathering 

 "INTER  CHAPTER"

in Laives, 26 and 27 Jun 1999


        "There are some days when without knowing it, we walk towards a great Destiny... " (Robert Paimboeuf). 

       Thus by a beautiful day of June, went away 7 beauties of  Milwaukee from Cagnes sur Mer towards Burgundy via the road called "the Napoléon road". This delegation of the S.S.C.N.C.F. was going to join the old stagers of the chapter (Phido, Jean, Bog, Daniel), who left  3  weeks ago.

       Seven hours ride, a breakdown  and two "straights" later (one does not follow Cathy without any risk), our small troop  stopped in Crémieux. 
        Cordial greeting by the friends of Jean Luc, and exceptional evening with "the Pasha" high place of the Lyon's jet set where one could recognize the split image of Travolta in "the Revenge of the salesman of Turkish delight"!! It is without  saying that  in Crémieux it is always better...

The BBQ... watch out Phido, It's hot!

        The night was the object of all the excesses of by some one (orange sporster kind + look Michel Blanc). Morals and a proper decency prevent me from describing you the  certain  scenes based on "the string of feet", "the nun cha ku" and other kimonos embroidered.

       The following day, our small troop had to face the rain and a flat tire. Yes "the biker's life is sometimes hard but we chose it " (Josette Bouchon).

        It was finally the arrival in Laives and its superb Lake.

Observers... Hello Eric  and Gégé of Lorraine!!!


 
      The site was very well arranged by our friends of the H.O.G. of  Burgundy. It  was soon going to accommodate the virile tournaments of the Inter Chapter. A such remake of the medieval tournaments, where the valiant knights came to measure their bravery before going away to war... (stop: there I am doing too much!).

 

# ¤¤ = ?! ...


No no! you are not dreaming, 
it is raining!

Go ahead Michel ! 
What a concentration!

Check out the shades!

Phido and Jean-Luc 
the Chapter's sea hogs! 

         The results of 1998 were not really with the honor of the S.S.C.N.C.F. (before the last of the classification). This is why the objectives for this year were to avoid the last place of the classification (the famous wood spoon).

        And let us return from there we to the mystery existential of our destiny, "Mektoub" like one says in Africa... Thus even in its most insane dreams, never Phido would not have dared to cherish the hope to bring back the Trophy of the victory of  the Inter-Chapter. A splendid work of art rewarding  the more athletic(!) Chapter from France. Even if it had dreamed once to hold the silver salad bowl of Wimbledon (at the time he played jokari), and another time to win the "Hot d' Or" in Cannes (whereas it discovered videos X), never he had  thought to hold the V-Twin cesarized in front of a delirious crowd...

Cool! No?

When it does not rain, 
it sprinkles...


 

 

       However he could believe in its personal legend, and the team which it trained with a hand of Master called "Big Boss" (Phido, Jean, Tétard, Looping, Nicolas and Michel) was going to offer him his day of glory, his Austerlitz, his World cup... 

        By the time you  will read these lines, some among you will have heard hundreds of versions of this historical episode of the Chapter, told and deliciously embellished by the protagonists, happy to have lived an unforgettable experiment. 

        The next year, we will be even more  to defend this title, and we will share together all the good moments of  the Inter Chapter which is a fraternal HOG members festival with the unique atmosphere and which one should not  miss...
