Friday 02/05/2016 Ride

Fellow Riders,

  • Friday’s forecast is looking pretty good for a ride so I’m thinking it is time to hit up one of our regular winter stops, that being the Gray House in Starr, SC.  If you would like to join me, let’s plan to leave the Key Mart parking area about 10:30 AM Friday morning.  Hope you can make it.    Dan

Trip Advisor - The Gray House

  • It was a perfectly clear, but quite cold day for a ride to The Gray House.  Nine riders were okay with the cold air as long as the sun continued to shine.  Dan led Lesley, me, Rob, Denny, Russ, Pat, Bob (wearing the unheated orange gloves that he can no longer find batteries for due to their age), and Ed.  Dan had another great route, and even he admitted there were a couple times he didn't know for sure where we were.  The ladies at The Gray House had a table set up for us courtesy of Sue's call ahead.  We always get great food here and some of us welcomed the chance to try their home made banana pudding.  It was quite good.  The ride home took us on familiar roads back to Seneca so we could gas up and be ready for another ride.  It was another great day to get out on two wheels in spite of the cool weather.    Steve
I was surprised to see Mick out today.  Never can get him to give the motorcycle wave....

The Top 10 Reasons Some Bikers Don't Wave

I'm unashamedly stealing this from the Cyril Huze Blog. It was just too funny not to share.

If at least some of these don't make you laugh:
1.  You don't ride and have no idea what any of this means.
2.  You have no sense of humor and need to get a life.
3.  You're dead.

Enjoy!

Top Ten Reasons Why Harley Riders Don’t Wave Back
10. Afraid it will invalidate warranty.
9. Leather and studs make it too heavy to raise arm.
8. Refuse to wave to anyone whose bike is already paid for.
7. Afraid to let go of handlebars because they might vibrate off.
6. Rushing wind would blow scabs off the new tattoos.
5. Angry because just took out second mortgage to pay luxury tax on new Harley.
4. Just discovered the fine print in owner’s manual and realized H-D is partially owned by Honda.
3. Can’t tell if other riders are waving or just reaching to cover their ears like everyone else.
2. Remembers the last time a Harley rider waved back - he impaled his hand on spiked helmet.
1. They’re too tired from spending hours polishing all that chrome to lift their arms.

Hopefully warmer days are ahead - only a few more weeks until spring :) I'm jealous of the homemade, southern-style banana pudding!

Ride safe.
