ReconRat Posted May 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) Lots of bikes argh. I had to live and breath Harleys till a few sports showed up. I was getting depressed. Huge quantities. Outdoor tables were all claimed before I got there even. All except one. Guess it was the first night out for many of them. Everyone dressed in their finest rags. And the bike show and all. But things changed when the Sun went down. Yes, that's right, everyone with temps left. Some at a proper time, and the rest shortly after dusk. And nobody I know won anything in the drawings.Bike show was won by a big ass stock Suzuki cruiser, ignoring the righteous handmade Harley bobber. Go figure. Pics of both later today.edit: No pics, it was too dark and all pics were blurred. So sad. Edited May 30, 2010 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Nice meeting you tonight. Nice bike too' date=' we need to ride together sometime.I'm looking to ride on Sunday, what you up to on Sunday?Nice turnout tonight by the way. Several OR's and lots of bikes![/quote']Thank you for taking the time to introduce me to some other members. I look forward to doing this again soon. I'm going to see how things shake out before I commit to Sunday, but thank you for the invitation. I'm supposed to go to a get-to-gether on Sunday, but I think it's more of a "wifes-outa-town" sympathy invitation. Sympathy? We'll communicate more as the day progresses.

ReconRat Posted May 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 oh yeah, forgot... I apparently ignored the fact that there are a lot of drunks on the freeway downtown at midnight. I got run off the road twice at the 670 interchange downtown. Lawnmower Boy with the trailer forced me over onto the right-side berm with a double lane change. I knew better, both the time of night and the place where people always panic and change lanes. I passed him even faster, off the road. What? What did you want me to do? Park it and putt along behind his slow ass? Fate being what it is, a little van tried to do it to me again a few seconds later... Yes, second pass off the road on the right side in less than one minute. The van was in the wobble mode, drunk, phone, texting, or all three.It's best to not pass anyone near or at a major interchange on a freeway. Basic rule.Also not a good idea to pass people using the right-hand lane of a road.I broke my own rulez... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I imagine anyone with a lawnmower on a trailer around midnight probably just got done with their post-work drink-a-thon. I had a near-miss myself just east of the 71 split. I gunned it when she began to drift and made it through on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 That one little thunderstorm is destined to hit Columbus.Although it appears to be only the South part of Columbus.With the storms growing suddenly today, I'll wait and see.I might ride out to the Hooters East for a bit later on.Or possibly ride to Hilliard after that storm passes...edit: another one is forming up behind it, near Dayton,with a path that will probably hit Columbus more centered.
