Motorcycle Ride for Dad

[SilveradoCA]

A friend send me a text this morning asking if I wanted to go for a ride.

 

Obviously I want to go for a ride...

 

The ride turned out to be the annual Motorcycle Ride for Dad charity ride, benefiting prostate cancer research. It was a good time; a 322Km round trip, poker run, 50/50, burger & dog BBQ put on by our local roller derby girls, and great weather.

 

We skirted a rainstorm that left some water on the road, and my suspicions were confirmed: whomever specified the stock windshield height was either delusional, or Dutch. It is WAY too high, to the point of being hazardous when covered in water and dirt from tires ahead of you.

 

Thanks to rayzar52 here on the board, I have a shorter one en-route to try.

 

The highlight of the day was that, in spite of the relatively uncommon nature of the RSV vs other bikes, and being surrounded by an armada of Harley's of every description, the ride started out with not 1, nor 2, but 3 2008 RSV's. It was like triplets. A 'fifth column' maybe?

 

Good times. Now it's shower o'clock and beer-thirty isn't far off.
