As sent to me by Franks son, Vincent:

Hey Howard my mom and I made some plans for the a memorial ride, would you mind telling the others? I just copy pasted the info below, thanks in advance.

The memorial ride for Frank will take place June 11,2022. Start at 9:30 am, meeting point fir people from Kelowna at the Duck Lake parking lot behind the airport right by the Hwy. Vernon O'Keefe Ranch. Stop there and meet with people that come from that area. Probably 10:30-11:00. Then continue to Falkland Chase, Salmon Arm, Armstrong and back to Kelowna.


Sounds like a darn good idea, and a reason to remember Frank and honour him.    Make this a first annual ride, perhaps.

Couldn't get an easier starting point for me. Should be a good ride.

Sounds good!

Yep, I would be happy to join with some people and remember Frank. On my calendar !

June and I have marked that weekend on our calendar and hopefully we can make it.    We may be staying in Kelowna for a few months this summer house searching so will try and tow a couple of bikes with us.

I can't make it, I'm busy with another event but I'll be thinking of Frank for sure.

More like a series of events, Shawn.

if your coming through Falkland I would like to join up along the way in my cage if that's alright with Vincent.

My last day at my old job. Helping with the charity car show for Canuck Children's Hospice. I promised I would be there.

Good on yah, Shawn......Fly!!!!!......be FREE!!!!!!!!!!

A reminder that the Ride for Frank is this Saturday.

Thanks Howard.  I would have forgotten.

Just to clarify - there are three 'parking lots' near Duck Lake along the highway. Are we meeting at the gravel one at the end of Old Vernon road, The first paved pullout near the south end of the lake or the bigger pullout toward the north end of the lake?

Good question, I would imagine the larger one at the northish end.

For those who expect to buy gas at the Petrocan in Chase.....be aware construction has shut down the South access right now.  You must continue on the highway to the Coburn access, or enter at the N end of town.

Thanks, Bill.

I think there are quite a few filling stations along our route, so alternatives should not be a problem.

You joining us when we get to Chase?

For sure!  I may make it to Falkland and join there.  Will be bringing my dogs...

I'll bet those dogs howl when you slide that hack through the corners.

Drop by the house if you like Bill , I think they are stopping by for a old man break ;D

Yes, that is the pee-lan.

Just ride down the lane to the creek and there should be enough trees for all. :D

I will head out from Barnhartvale and meet up at O’Keefe’s for just after 10 and continue with you guys around the loop and head home from Vernon. Nice day already.

I'm leaving Chase in a few minutes.  Will take Hwy 97.  We may see each other.  Will gas up at Falkland Petrocan.

I stayed with the Motschko’s went through to Falkland for a bite and then Chase, enjoyed the time with the family and we spread some ashes at the top of the hill down into Chase. Headed back to Barnhartvale from there and enjoyed the ride.
 Too bad I did not hook up with you guys again but the day of riding was worth it and trust you guys had a good ride as well.
