Feels good to get her back out.
I got mine out today as well. Got to try out a number of new toys, but the best was just riding again. It was funny though. I stopped at my local Italian deli and as I was taking off my gear before walking in two old ladies, one with one of those walkers with wheels and a handbrake stopped by my bike and started talking. I don't speak a lot of German but I did hear several " sehr sch??n" (very pretty) comments and the one I. The walker stopped as the two moved on and said how nice my bike was.... so, not exactly my demographic, they seemed pretty impressed. I told my wife she better watch out.

Looking forward to the ride up to the Ace Cafe to meet Gonzo on Saturday evening

| | Posted : 07 Mar 2012 - 21:30 Post title : Re: Took the Bird out today (Re: davetac1) | | | Took mine out Sunday, there was a charity ride for the childrens hospital and about 800 bikes showed up. There were about 750 harleys and a few hondas and a couple of gold wings but I had the only Thunderbird and it did get a lot of attention, Funny how many harley riders want to tell you about the triumph they had when they were younger. Anyway, the ride was police escorted and went up A1A along the beach for about 25 miles then west to a local sports bar. They had live music and a few vendors selling bike stuff. My wife bought a T shirt and I got a hamburger and beer. Had a great time and the kids got a lot of money.

But sadly Autumn has arrived down south and it's time to put the mesh jacket and the fishnets in the wardrobe and bring out the leather one, like today's cool 21C / 70F forecast.......
I keep thanking the Poms for sending the convicts to Australia and for them staying in England
