day 11

yaazzz sir. the SS is home and all is well, except it is in serious need of a good washing after sitting in the busy Ace's garage. This mornings club ride left at 7:30 am., so there has not been time to scrub it yet. you know. the usual question. To Wash or To Ride? That is the question. This picture is of your author and his beautiful bitch of 26 years in New Smyrna Beach, Florida for their monthly Bike Night. We clocked 180 miles by sunset that day.Soooo, at 5:45am the radio starts rockin and hey, it's show time.
Here we are at the first stop of the day, about 50 miles north. we have a sportster with a 2.3 gallon tank that needs a top off and actually we wanted to double check the map for our 90 mile quest to Ocala Haley.

Here is Johanna who of course rides her own sled and the lady that rides that thirsty sporster. You know that next year is the last year they'll make the Sportster? History is written.
Here are Chopper Joe and his good bud Sam checking out Sam's new exhaust system. It blows flames " 3 feet out the back. Haaa." Sam exclaims. "When they get up on and ride my ass. I BACK THEM OFF real quick!" he says confidently and with a slight smile. and here of course is the "in the mirror" shot. A small groupo, but good motorcycle lovin attitudes all 'round and that made it all good. more later...
