Not again
Well once again for the second time for the last two years we went along for a ride with the local motorcyclist and Bikers. The latter was more common. We arrived 45 minutes before KSU and wandered about taking in the sights. Grabbed a coffee and donut and met up with a couple of guys from work. One rides a Honda 750 cruiser and the other rides a Goldwing. My two brother-in-laws tagged along also. One has a 1800 Suzuki cruiser and the other BIL has a 1400 Suzuki from back in the day. Late 70s I would say.
I amazed by some riders. I watched this guy come in on a sport bike with the girlfriend on the back. I could clearly see his tire was almost flat. I walked over to him and made mention of it after he was off the bike. He checked it and agreed. So he went and paid his entrance fee and then came back to go fill up the tire. Needless to say the bike wouldnt start. So he rolled it up a slight incline and proceeded to try and jump start the bike. Well after the second try it started and off he went. I am sure that tire would have blown out by the end of the ride. He came back several minutes later so I imagine he puts some air in the tires. Nothing like a safety check before a ride, EH!
Geeeeezzzz
So here are some pics. of the event as the day unfolded.
Parking lot,
Other makes and models in attendance,
Lunch stop, why of course in order of Memorial day it was the local VFW
After some folks getting some libations and refreshments we were on our way. AAAAAAARGH!
Well after that we departed from the group and headed out on our own. Lets just say I am not doing any of these large rides any more. The rider hurt his knee and couldnt walk. He also banged his head pretty good and it took a while for him to get up.
