- The forecast is calling for the rain to end by early morning so hopefully the roads will be dry enough for us by ride time. I am planning to wind my way over to Monk’s Café in Central for some lunch. I have chosen this place for lunch so we can check out Kevin’s electric motorcycle he built, assuming he brings it to the Key Mart. Then we can circle past his house so he can swap it out for a regular gas guzzler and do the rest of the ride. If all of this sounds interesting to you, let’s meet at the Key Mart parking area about 10:30AM and we’ll go from there, either gas or electric powered. Hope to see you. Dan
- Dan the forecaster was spot on with his weather prediction - the rain and tornado warnings ended well before our 10:30 am departure from Key Mart. The highlight, even before we started, was the incredible totally electric bike Kevin built. The other nine of us, Dan, Gadget, Lesley, Len, Steve (Beemer), Rob, Mark, Denny, and me, were all super impressed by the conversion of the '93 Ninja. Amazing what someone with a lot of smarts can do with a 20 year old bike, some batteries (24), and a few parts from a golf cart. We left Key Mart and made our way to Kevin's so he could swap the electric for one of his fleet of Italian bikes. This led to a severe case of "garage envy" for several of us once we saw where he does his magic. The rest of the ride took us through the countryside, riding the rolling hills and seeing lots of horses on the way to Monk's. We squeezed in to the small restaurant and many of us enjoyed their outstanding burger. Len was good enough to warn us of the size of the burgers, and only Denny ordered the double. Without the bun, he was able to finish the double. It was another great day on two wheels. Steve
