ONE OF MANY EXOTICS



ONE OF MY BROTHERS IN ARMS

SOME GOOD FOLKS I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING

ONE OF MY LONG TIME FRIENDS, MOE AND HIS WIFE EDITH
YOU'VE MET ONE OF HIS BROTHERS (PHIL) IN ONE OF MY EARLIER POSTS

BOE-ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL WOMAN BIKER ENJOYING THE DAY

NOTHING BUT THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR THIS BUNCH OF TROOPERS
THEY KNOW HOW TO KEEP THE PUNKS AND SPINELESS COWARDS THAT TRY TO DISRUPT THE DIGNITY AND HONOR OF A MILITARY FUNERAL IN LINE
MUCH RESPECT

ANOTHER EXOTIC

LOT OF COLORS-BUT EVERYONE WAS COOL AND THINGS RAN SMOOTH

NO NEED TO EXPLAIN WHY I LOVED THIS BIKE
CHECK OUT THE REAR FENDER BELOW

LOOKS LIKE IT'S FLYING EVEN SITTING STILL
THIS IRON HORSE HAS BEEN FEATURED IN SEVERAL MAGAZINES

WELL --I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT ALL THESE PICTURES POSTED--HAD MORE BUT JUST CAN'T GET THEM ALL ON ONE POST--HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PHOTOS--
BELIEVE ME-NOT TOO MANY SOUNDS ARE AS IMPRESSIVE AS HEARING ALL THESE MOTORCYCLES
RUMBLING IN YOUR DIRECTION-PEOPLE LINE THE STREETS, SIT ON BENCHES IN THEIR YARDS, WATCHING AND WAVING.. THE EVENT
IS A SMOOTH BLEND OF LAW ENFORCEMENT  BLOCKING INTERSECTIONS, THERE BY ASSURING
SAFE AND UNINTERUPPTED PASSAGE OF MOTORCYCLES FOR ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR OR MORE..
UNTIL NEXT WEEK (MAYBE)
ENJOY THE RIDE
