Bike Lust on a Fine Richmond Day

Beautiful weather outside this Tuesday morning; and I am in Richmond with my motorcycle waiting to be ridden some 230 miles away in Concord, NC (where the weather is also wonderful). However, got a big period of visits there coming up very soon, so this will not be long. Will be in Concord for three days this weekend (Saturday, Sunday, Monday), then here for three days, and then home again for four days (if not five....a curtailment day add on is I am told possible).
Felt kind of bad about Saturday, went to see Star Trek (great movie by the way) but drove past a bike gathering at a local motorcycle dealer. Did go back out to it later, but it was wrapping up when I got there. If you can't ride, nice to be around motorcycles.
Have been reading about the Myrtle Beach Motorcycle Rally; sounds like the crowds are down, but the cops are for sure up; and seem to be writing as many tickets as they can. However, most of the bikers seem to have gotten the word and are spending most of their time (and money) in North Myrtle Beach (which is not part of the area which is hassling the motorcycle crowd). I also read that many of the hotels in Myrtle Beach have empty rooms. Good!
Did see that BMW has put out the new sportbike with the in-line four. Looks pretty awesome, said to have 192 hp. Interesting bike; BMW has really been doing a lot of interesting bikes.
As for my interesting bike, plan to be taking it out some this weekend if the weather holds up. Been wild both in NC and VA with the weather of late....but rain is a good thing (just not during a ride). Luck has been good on visits home so far, keeping my fingers crossed!
