Anyone care to join me? I figure I'll be there somewhere's between 7:30 and 8. Probably closer to 8.

New bike - do tell, talk is cheap, we need proof not some HD marketing photo.

yeah that look like Cali, not the Shenandoah.

What was your 1st clue? The ocean in the background?

[cheeky]

Nah, the fact that the road isn't covered in pea gravel fro mthe pavement coming up was 1st. The Ocean was 2nd.

BTW, the trip home was great. But 35 deg. F. at 75 MPH is a wind chill equivalent of about 14 deg. F., so I'm going to switch over to my extra-heavy riding gloves, and install wiring for my heated grips on the 'Rod.

Jebus Bill, you almost didn't make it off that block of Wilson... There was a speeder cage coming up the street when you pulled out that almost pasted you... Then you got on the throttle right in front of an ACPD truck. I think the Harleys making a holigan out of you.

I thought the worst thing about that experience was having you guys push me backwards when I got stuck in that crack in the concrete! Gee, didn't see the cage -- d**n neck joints and limited peripheral vision. Well, that's what brakes are for. What's an ACPD truck? Some kind of noise monitoring thing?

Whether or not I'm becoming a hooligan, I feel a lot more secure in traffic w/ the extra 200 lbs. under me.

Well, gotta go. Off to buy about three grand worth of bling. Ah, the joys of semi-retirement.

BTW: My neighbor ( a mile up the road) was out for a walk yesterday afternoon and found the key. I had a message when I got home. Thank you, Lord.

Someone needs some better mirrors... Yeah a white 4 door was streaking up the curbside lane when you pulled out. They closed to within a few feet of you. There was an "Oh damn, Bill's gonna get it, moment on the sidewalk"

ACPD - Arlington County Police. Right behind the speeder was a marked ACPD vehicle, a big ole truck to be exact. Rhodeside is just a couple blocks from the courthouse, which also holds the ACPD headquarters.
