Back in 1987 to 1990, I lived in Shelbyville, Kentucky (just east of Louisville, home of Col. Sanders and lots of horse breeders).  While I lived there, I was a member of the "KY Riders" motorcycle club (it was somehow affiliated with the "Rider" motorcycle magazine).  

      In addition to regular monthly meetings, the club also had an annual "poker run".   This was usually held in Shelbyville and originated in (what was then) the Kroger parking lot.

     If you have pictures from the KY Riders club, I'd like to hear from you.   I'd gladly post them on the "Photo" section of this site (see images to the right).  

     Since videography was one of my hobbies, I videotaped both the "2nd Annual Poker Run" (June 5, 1988)  & the "3rd Annual Poker Run" (June 4, 1989) on my Sony 8mm camcorder.  

     Don't worry, I didn't attempt to film too much myself while actually riding, for that, I did have a passenger who did willingly run the camera for me (in one case, sitting backwards on my bike!) while riding through the beautiful back roads in central Kentucky, using my shoulder to prop up the camera on the 3d annual run....   Other shots I took while parked at the side of the road.   On the 2nd annual poker run, I was riding in Jim's sidecar and was videotaping from there.

     Back in 1988 & 1989, I offered club members copies of the edited 43 and 33-minute videos on either beta or VHS tape.  I still had the original tape and have transferred both of the Poker Run videos to 2 DVD's (in case anyone is interested...).   See PayPal button to the right to purchase a copy (I only make the DVD's on demand; tracked postage within the USA is included).
