Pre and Father's Day Rides (June 14-15)

Good ride on Saturday June 14, for one thing it was not raining (had all week) and was not humid (ditto) in fact temp was barely over 80-a great day to ride. Went down West Broad Street, to Quaker Steak and Lube. Nice ride, traffic not bad....was a rough week at work and frankly not in the mood for a big monster ride. Nice (very nice to get out though).
Like Quaker Steak, also liked the one in Concord, NC and used to go to that a lot. They had a big bike night in Concord, went to the one here, was there early...maybe too early, but will check out that site again soon.
This was the food stop at Buz and Ned's Real Barbecue. Bike in background is owned by the owner (an HD V-Rod) but that is my Vulcan in the foreground. Nice ride to there, and great food...its my favorite BBQ in the RVA (with Alamo BBQ in Church Hill a very close second). Nice time there and a great meal.
After the two visits got in a bit of a ride , doing a few miles and went out toward VA360 via a very roundabout route. Had time, had gas and have a very fine motorcycle.   
Went to Steel Horse HD...saw some bikes out there, and enjoyed checking them out. Like this bike with side car I saw. Was a great ride.
On Sunday, did not plan it, but being another beautiful day I rode again. Did not have a real plan, but went to a few places and enjoyed the ride a great deal.
Noted when I put the bike up that I am under 50 miles to hitting 30,000 miles; got a feeling that will happen on my very next motorcycle ride. Sure enjoying riding this Kawasaki Vulcan, and it has been a great motorcycle. Ride Safe everyone, and see you soon!
