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

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.
LA in March? Hmm....
I have a bit of prep work before I get back on the bike, so I can't bring it down there next weekend as anticipated. But then it'll be warm up here again....

I saw the mystery man FIRST! Now there is no more mystery.

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 -- damn 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.
