Twelve members of Texas Gulf Coast Trikers attended the fifth annual Triadics Reunion in West Branson, Missouri. In spite of major flooding throughout Arkansas, everyone made it there safely & participated in several rides through the Ozark mountains, which are known to offer some of the best motorcycle rides in America, with lots of switchbacks & roller coaster hills. Michael & Cindy Wisdom won a first place trophy for Women's Choice in a trike show held in the Walmart parking lot, with random shoppers choosing the winners. The reunion was held at Treehouse Adventures, which has speed bumps all over the campground & creates a challenge for trikers to avoid damaging their trikes. Everyone loved the Peel Ferry ride, as well as lunch at the Dinner Bell Restaurant located less than half a mile from the ferry landing. A fun night was had on the Branson Belle, which provides a dinner show while riding around Table Rock Lake. A trip was scheduled to Mount Vernon to give rides to retired veterans living in the Missouri Veteran's Home, but thunderstorms prevented it. Jim & Lady provided a tasty breakfast one morning & everyone enjoyed a great chicken dinner from Walmart the last night of the reunion. John announced that Triadics membership has tripled to over a thousand since he took the reins last October. Sandy Hall had a very close call when he lost control of his trike on the way back home to Texas. He had installed a trailer hitch on his trike and had been very dissatisfied with it until it dug into the ground & prevented him from going into a deep ravine. Paramedics were required when the trike pinned him underneath it, but he was not seriously injured & says that his trike damage was much better than a physical injury.
