Posted On: Jun 22, 2009 (09:03:39)
Idaho State IAFF-MC rep John Filler has a new ride and invites all 7th District motorcycle riders to meet him in Republic, Washington for a break-in party.  John will be riding from the treasure Valley and does not understand how "whimpy" excuses like 'I just cut a finger off of my clutch hand" could keep a rider off of the road.  Brother Filler is causing excitement amongst riders in the Magnificent 7th and this ride is on his agenda for July 17th-19th.  Please see the attachment and contact him at jrfiller@middletonfire.org if you have any questions.  The picture to the left of this article is John with his new HD.
