Sunday Ride in the RVA (April 7, 2013)

Kind of out of order but ok....was the best weather day of 2013 on Sunday April 7...sunny and 72 was the high. It was a bit breezy but it was still a lot of fun out there. Got out on I-95 after a ride though Richmond and headed for Prince George, VA. Made a stop at Colonial Harley-Davidson which was open on a Sunday. Wandered around a few minutes: they had a nice selection of bikes, but not all the new bikes out this year from "The Motor Company". I like going there and there were a lot of people there...Harley people tend to gather around Harley dealerships.    
 Made a stop at Tilted Kilt (that is my bike silver colored at the side far left front) to check out some of the race (Nascar at Martinsville) and to see some...women in kilts (better than the alternative). It is located near Colonial HD and also a Japanese motorcycle dealership which was closed on Sunday. Had a nice time there...short visit and then got on 288 to head toward Hull Street. As far as since I have gotten here with the bike, was the longest trip to date...70 miles in total from beginning to end. As the weather gets better the rides get longer, which is pretty cool.  
This was during the Colonial Harley-Davidson visit...its a V-Rod based Drag bike...pretty cool though. As I said a nice dealership, usually has a lot going on there.
As for me, visited a former riding buddy (he sold his bike)...Keith and I got in his car and rode to Buffalo Wild Wings and a new Guitar Center. Nice break in the riding, but then headed back on the bike down Hull Street and Midlothian Turnpike where I store the bike. Did not drive to get it...walked from my apartment to it, and walked back at the end of the ride. It was an outstanding day!
