THINGS--"DREAM RIDE-2012"



 

SO MANY PICTURES TO POST THAT I WILL ONLY STATE A FEW FACTS ABOUT THE ANNUAL “DREAM RIDE.” TO DATE (NOT COUNTING THE RALLY MENTIONED IN THIS POST) THE DREAM RIDE RALLIES HAVE RAISED OVER $1,385,000 FOR THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS ATHLETES..GOOD PEOPLE HELPING GOOD PEOPLE..KIND OF THE WAY THINGS SHOULD WORK..

COUPLE OF FRIENDS-DAVE ON THE LEFT, FROM NAGAUTUCK
AND JOHN FROM NORWALK

MOTORCYCLES SHOWED UP FROM CONNECTICUT-MAINE-MASSACHUSETTS-NEW HAMPSHIRE-NEW YORK-PENNSYLVANIA-RHODE ISLAND-VERMONT AND EVEN FROM QUEBEC CANADA.


FIRST ROWS

NEXT ROWS

THE NEXT ROWS

STILL MORE ROWS

AND MORE KEPT COMING FOR HOURS AFTER I TOOK THE PREVIOUS PICTURES

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
JIM

It's all so incredibly well organised Jim. Fantastic photos you've captured of this rally. Some of the exotics are unbelievable, but they all look awesome to me (she who knows little) Sounds like a successful and great day had by all. But wow, that's a lot of bikes in one spot!
I'm glad you're still posting!

Believe it or not Rose-when we had rallies againest the helmet law there were so many bikes that interstate highways I-84 and I-91 were closed. The number of motorcycles was unbelievable. although there were alot of bikes at this rally the numbers could not even begin to compare with the anti-helmet rallies.

Great pics Jim and a great cause. I had the privalage of attending the special olympics a few years back to watch my nephew compete. I wouldn't have stood a chance against most of those althletes! Very cool post!

Good blog post, nice efforts. It couldn't appear to have been penned any better. Reading this article piece of writing reminds me about my old boss! He usually kept babbling about this. I will email this post to him. Pretty confident he will probably have a high-quality read. Appreciate your posting!

I do not know if it’s just me or if everybody else encountering issues with your site. It seems like some of the text in your content are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This might be a problem with my browser because I’ve had this happen previously. Cheers

I'd have to go along with with you one this subject. Which is not something I usually do! I enjoy reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to speak my mind!
