A year ago my dad bought his bike, being retired he put 13k miles on it.

The latter, ok.


The former...forgive me, but 50/50 drawing?



I think I'll try and make it. I've got to work and my parent's house in the afternoon, and that's just on the north side of 24.


My bike.

I suspect it will be easier to pick out me, than for me to find the right HD rider/

50/50 Raffle... sell a bunch of raffle tickets, draw one, winner gets 50% of the money from ticket sales and the cause gets the other 50%.

Thanks. I've never been part of the group rider scene.

Me either. Just not my thing.

Too many of the events I've checked out are essentially pub crawls on bikes. Not all are like that but it's not my scene. I like the idea of charity rides, just never found one in my area at a time I could ride, often I find out about them after they ride. Lots of the charity rides are for great causes, or for local people so the $$$ raised is not being funneled though a big bureaucracy. Someday I'd like to try a charity run as long as the booze is saved until the end (or doesn't exist at all).

I went on a group ride once. Won't do that again. Not my thing at all.

LOL

That seems about right.

My riding style leans to the other end of the spectrum with All The Gear, All The Time. Sometimes people look at me like I’m an alien. So be it.

I’m a firm believer in riding your own ride, whatever that is.

We made it on the ride into Warren, until little man blew chunks all over my back. had to pull over. RIP

Seemed like nobody was doing anything stupid other than the trike in a few bikes up not maintaining speed very well

Nice meeting you also BTW

Oh man, that sucks!


The bike behind you moved up, and he decided I needed to listen to Old Town Road.


It was kind of fun, but I sort of felt pinned in.


Of course, I was the only non-HD/non-sportbike.

Don't feel bad, I do a few Poker Runs each year, and I mean just a few. Not much of a drinker and i'm in the way back or I leave early for the next stop.
The Eagles I belong to does a few good runs each year.
Normally I ride one of my old shovels, but it sure is easy to find when its parked in a sea of baggers....


We have a new rider in town that has a new monster Ducati, we stopped at the same stop sign together. I think he was surprised when I said what a awesome motorcycle.
I would have liked to take it for a blast 25 years ago....

First ride in 2 months yesterday after foot surgery. It was great!!
Steel plate and screws on left foot right where the shifter hits, little sore but worth it. Hard to turn toward home.

Finally got mine back after a couple weeks. New S&S 475 cam kit, slip ons, and a tuner.!!

Hobart, IN on Saturday a friend of INGO, but not a member, was on his HD when he was hit.

Scooter is totaled. He was admitted to the hospital but later released.

He owns the 1101 Cigar Lounge in Schererville, its so gun friendly that we've had a dozen or more "meet & greets" at the lounge. Those of us in the NW corner of the state refer to his lounge as the NWI INGO Clubhouse. Tony is a good guy. He called me on Saturday afternoon while I was out riding, it was just a few hours before he hopped on his bike and got into an accident.

Glad to know that he only ended up with road rash and a busted foot.

I will say, those HD's did look really comfy.


After after an hour, my butt and legs were getting sore.


I also rode on the freeway for the first time ever. And I was thinking I should get some riding pants.... then I noticed an older Kawasaki headed the other direction - the rider was young, petite thing in shorts and a tank top.

Most Harley riders are alright but the more Harley gear they wear while riding their Harley, the bigger the douche. I actually got a lot of compliments on my Honda Shadow(RIP) here in NWI but whenever there was a sneer, it was some fat old fart dressed in Harley branding down to the skully.
