L.A. IRON HORSEMAN JJ Leonard, Direcor Pas Presiden L.A.P.D., Reired Well LA has no been doing oo well laely. Several of our moors have had sudden meeings wih Moher Earh. Poor Chris Couler on his brand new Harley Davison, bumps and bruises bu you know he ypical moorcop... how's my bike and wha do my boos look like?' and 'did I look good?' Also joining he holiday fesiviies was Moor Sg. Jon Aufdayberg brand new Moor Sg-welcome o he ranks Jon-say a prayer i was only bumps & bruises. Two oher Moor Officers had 'incidens' bu quie differen. The way I heard i is...seve Griffih aemped o sop a 'duece' bu he DUI suspec during he vehicle sop suddenly reversed ino Seve and drove off. Tony Hochkiss ook up he pursui, somehow he DUI susp go Tony oo, bu Tony coninued he chase by commandeering a ciizen o chase he susp. End resul, hey caugh he 'dummy' and filed 2 couns of aemp 187 on an Officer wih enhancemens, 2 felony couns of evading, 2 felony couns of DUI, wih bail se a 1.2 million dollars. "Don' mess wih Moor Cops! They even scare oher Cops!" Boy have hings changes and modernized. The 'commercial squad ie. 'Insrucor Corps' is now 'EOD' Emergency Operaions Div, housed a he new PAB. Naurally, 'hey' have o park a block away and walk...only he brass has parking underneah. And, if you wan o ge ino he building, you beg and plead because you need he new ID card o 'swipe' for enry. I's a new world! Las nigh hey had DUI check poins in every Bureau, which will coninue every weekend hrough he holidays (ha's 'holy days'). Las nigh VTD (Valley Traffic Div) had one a Venura Bl & Lankershim righ near Universal Sudios/Universal Ciy Walk. The 'cach' wasn' grea bu Ten DUI's and weny-four impounds is nohing o laugh a... good job! I reminds me of he ol' days, 'IBARS' (Insan Booking And Release), we use o pack hem away! Since our las 'Siren' our LAPD Moors on Oc 2nd & 3rd 2009 celebraed heir 100h Birhday! Wha a grea ime up a he ol' academy in Elysian Park. Chief Darryl Gaes was our 'special speaker'. I can' explain he feeling waching 300 LAPD moors being escored by 85 LASD moors coming up over he hill from downown o he academy...wow! Firs came he 'LAPD Color Guard' Officers Lou Medrano, Pee Reyes, Tim Rolsen, Tasha Karandy and Sg. Tavares, hen wo anique/vinage moorcycles...a 1932 Indian Scou and a 1943 Harley Davidson which is ridden daily by Officer Kevin Coer. Then he Moor Drill Team led by Sg Mich Windsor and Drill Maser Phil Walers. Tha brough a chill...ha's wha I was! (Especially when hey pu on a special demonsraion for he crowd of hundreds) hen came he res of he 300 Moor Cops. I would name hem all bu hen Gene Gray would have a hear aack. The wo-day anniversary celebraion concluded Saurday, which was reserved for Moor Cops (acive & reired) and heir families and friends, no public. Over 650 aended his family-oriened even. The following sponsors helped make his Ceninial LAPD Moor celebraion, a one-of-a-kind. LA Police Federal Credi Union, LA Police Proecive League, Carl's Jr., Sharkey's Mexican Grill, Pyramid Breweries (I poured quie a few pins for hose who had no idea how o pour a professional draf beer), Sign-All Archiecural Signage, Holiday Inn, Midnigh Impressions, Long Beach BMW Moorcycles, Barels' and Glendale Harley-Davidson and he LA Police Revolver and Ahleic Club. Plus an unknown amoun of 'behind he scene' helpers, BUT I could no forge he wo moor officers who pu heir hears and families ino making his projec a realiy and somehing ha will be remembered for a long-long ime, Roger Sewar and Mich Nowlen. They deserve a Big-Big "Job Well Done!" Valley Traffic Division jus held heir annual "VTD Chrismas pary"...a he "Magic Casle'in Hollywood. Me and mine were here, we had a pary of eleven.

The following brand new-proud moor cops o graduae from LAPD Moor School Oc. 19, 09 are: Glendale PD Ryan Gunn, Torrance PD Rober Schuffman, LAPD Sg Jon Aufdayberg, Marin Caro, Joel Flores, Eric Holz and James Quinomes. All joined he MMOC...welcome aboard. Speaking of new members, I jus aended he LAPD Associaes for lunch, all reired LAPD. and Gary C. Bebee, Presiden of GCB Corp asked me for an MMOC applicaion. He was a moor officer, are you ready for his, 1966 o 1970. He said, he's always waned o be a member, bu every ime he hough abou i, no one was around. The las convenion was covered in he las Siren bu I jus waned o remind you ha nex year s convenion will be a 'cruise'...carnival Lines, leave Monday morning, reurn Friday afernoon, visi San Diego, Caalina, and Ensanada. Don' miss his one...i's going o be fun!!!!!!! And ONLY $300 oal per person! One of he nices hings abou his ime of year is sending loving wishes o he ones we hold mos dear. coninued on nex page

Vas esaes, surrounded by hundreds of square miles of colorful vines and beauiful roadways awai our group forage on he periphery of Gods green acre. Ouskirs, you say?

And, while in he region, why no venure over he Pacific Coas Range of mounains and ride 150 miles in he cool climes of wising and undulaing California Highway 1, gaze upon he beauiful coasal scenery and visi several hisoric ligh houses?

Thiry wo bodies are rying o cram ino four chase vehicles o deliver our weary souls o Louie Cairo s excellen Ialian resauran one mile disan. I s been five hours since our merry gang me poolside in 105 degree hea o welcome he old guard and engender new revelers o our wacky sysem of MMOC road rides. Cairo s is boiserous because of our baner, ye our conference room seaing is very cool and he food, in a word, exquisie. No speeches his nigh, jus mangia and a reurn rip o he pool s cool waers, a nighcap and a good nigh s sleep. Moor Cops, reired or no, don like being lecured on road safey, riding formaion, roue, desinaion or speed by a bald-headed 66 year old ha joined he Over The Hill Gang decades ago. They seem o have poor lisening comprehension oo, ye here we are a 7:30 am on Wednesday for our daily riders meeing.

Rhoda learned o une me ou years ago, so she joined he ranks of he non believers as I spewed ou my eloquen disseraion. Wihin 15 minues, 19 bikes and 4 chase vehicles were headed wes on Ca20 o US101 some 80 miles disan. Tis a beauiful sigh o winess a saggered formaion of moors, all evenly spaced apar a 3 second inervals, hundering down a ribbon of asphal o cooler climes on a crysal clear morning. Of course, ha srucure lased for abou 20 miles, afer which we were spread ou ino 2 or 3 differen zip codes and perhaps as many counies! And, so i wen for 3 days, saring ou joined a he hip in he morning and hen urning ino see you a he moel when you ge here! As we moored norh ono US101 and shed some of he inland hea, he specacular coasal mounain range offered verdan views and new undulaing opography. We invaded Willis for brunch and were me here by Mel and Tami D Angelo, joining us for he remainder of he ride. Wih Eureka 150 miles disan, some of our group eleced o deour o For Bragg on he coas while we moored o Garberville for a break, hen a scenic our on he Avenue of he Gians. Coninuing norh, he sun disappeared hrough Humbold Redwoods Sae Park, oblieraed by cenuriesold gian conifers ha gave way o coasal fog and disan views of sand dunes as we approached Foruna. Wih 20 miles o his nigh s moel in Eureka and many of us in shir sleeves, damp 50 degree emps chill facored ou o sub-zero, or so i fel, as we pulled ino he No Tell Moel wih chaering eeh!

Fify miles laer, we arrive a Cave Juncion, Oregon, and anoher 20 miles off he beaen pah on seep, ascending corkscrew roadway will have us a he caves enrance. Twelve miles ino his rek, and a a spiried pace, we a he fron round a igh righ-hand on-camber urn ha sends a leas 10 bikes sideways as much as 3 fee. SAND! Looking back, all 21 bikes survived, bu from her pillion sea, Rhoda bich-slapped my helme he las 8 miles, he ringing in my ears precluding comprehension of he four leer words she uered! Loves ya baby! Sixeen advenurous souls me up wih Ms Rangeree, a humorous and cherubic lass ha jus go her degree in geology and admiedly voluneered o guide our biker group ino he bowels of he earh. She provided insigh ino mineral formaions, hieroglyphic echings and even had sponaneous answers for some of Laezsch s more colorful inerpreaions. Seems Baron was having XXX raed flash backs o he Rorschach es we all ook as a sepping sone o ensure cranium sabiliy during our LEO careers! Niney minues of educaion and laugher led o 45 minues of lunch and hen i was off o Grans Pass and a shor 30 mile jaun o Medford. This day had deal us a 55+ degree emperaure differenial and he Red Lion Hoel s beauiful pool offered a grea respie.

Chris Norman, who myseriously conraced he ourisas overnigh, would spend an addiional nigh or wo in Medford sack-sucking Pepo Bismol before venuring home. Our ranks reduced en-fold, i was ime o challenge he beauiful and scenic Ca 96. This serpenine ribbon of asphal follows he Klamah River for 130 miles and hen afer he confluence wih he Triniy River, anoher 25 miles along ha waerway before dumping us ono road s end a Willow Creek and Ca 299. Fify five miles ino his corkscrew journey, we sopped a Seiad Valley; populaion 20(!), for a fanasic MMOC sponsored oudoor breakfas pre-arranged by Mike Rores. Hyped on caffeine and pacified wih bacon, eggs, sausage, pancakes, orange juice and frui; we again drop he hammer and lisen o he purr of inernal combusion. There are few roads in he U.S. as long and convolued as Ca 96 ha simulaneously offer mesmerizing scenery and lush opography from beginning o end, ye we all came away wih differen sensory overloads. For myself and a few ohers, i was he high G-load E icke ride; for some he aural saccao of muliple V wins in relaxed low RPM cadence; and ohers, he lush valleys, owering ree lines and verdan views. Following Ca 299 eas alongside he Triniy River for 55 miles ino Weaverville is scenic and eneraining oo, bu as he emperaure rises dramaically o 105 near journey s end, everyone s mind is on he Vicorian Inn s ice cold swimming pool.

Three hours ino our pool pary, i s ime o be ushered o Marino s Ialian Resauran a mile disan by Micki Waide (Heanes) and Chuck Nicolls for our 7:30 seaing. Chuck ges all he accolades for seing up his nigh s feas and i was exquisie, perhaps he bes meal on he rip, and no o be forgoen. Seaed in he back room around a loooong able, i was ime o reflec on his 3 day, 4 nigh, and 750 mile advenure: We had fanasic weaher, albei wih a couple emperaure exremes, few road consrucion delays, gorgeous and varied scenery, including an ineresing our of cenury s old caves and ae like Kings and Queens. As a firs, we had 4 chase vehicles (!) and owe a HUGE deb of hanks o George and Barbara Firchow, Mickie Waide, Marilyn Williams and her grumpy shogun-parner faher-in-law, CK, and Mark Murray and Bob Holland who oo were eamed up in a 4-wheeler due o recen road rash incidens.

An ineresing and friendly chap, Chris is one hell of a good rider; aribuable, I feel, o he Briish iered licensing sysem. And if you hink he raveled far for his ride, consider George and Barbara Firchow s rek from Lincoln, Nebraska (!) and Baron Laezsch from Show Low, Arizona, abou 50 miles from he New Mexico border!
