Had a good time. Met up with Will and Niki this morning. Will just got a 2005 Honda 1300 VTX.. Frankly a lot of upgrades and the price was amazing. Owner needed some cash to get a house. So...we went out on a ride. The intention was to go to Fredericksburg, but being a relatively new rider I thought the Five and Dime would be a better ride. Easier with less traffic and just seemed like a good idea. As it turned out it was though he did fine.
Yesterday I rode a long time. Today we got to the Colonial Parkway but he was ready to start going back. Writs and back gets sore when you have not done that for a while (say nine years in his case) so we were waiting for the ferry.
Yesterday I saw no Indian Motorcycles at all, but today right behind us was this Indian Dark Horse and a fine looking (and sounding) bike it is. Lady who rode it was very happy with it, and enjoyed talking to her about it.
Once again on the ferry and on the water which was very nice. It is a great ride across the James and a beautiful view. In the background of this photo is the ferry from "10" coming our way. Really a nice thing and the fact that it is free is even better.
Ride on "ten" was real nice. We were looing for a place to eat which there is not a lot of on that highway. Finally got to Hopewell which also was just getting going early Sunday afternoon.
Lunch was at Hooters of Chester (Virginia of course) and had not been there for quite a while. Nice to see they have upgraded the restaurant and the menu. I got some "Daytona Wings" which were both different and very good. Enjoyed the lunch there and the company.
Visited at their house (which is very nice) and enjoyed the company. I got back at my house around 2pm. Total ride was a hair over 120 miles after skipping some of the sights. Had a great time though and will do that again. While the benefits of riding solo are many, it is nice from time to time to have some people to share the experience with.
