Went for a ride today. Stopped to see a buddy and he had his XS650 hardtail out in front of his garage. It looked different. He had mounted a small fairing on it. Asked what's going on with the fairing. He explained tomorrow was November 10th ride day and the weather is turning cold. (He's right 55 today 50 tomorrow.)
I asked what the f"ck is the 11/10 ride? He explained on November 10th 1885 the first motorcycle ride was taken. About 30 years ago Stan W organized a small local ride to commemorate it. Rain or shine he has gone. I asked who would be there and he mentioned a lot of people I used to know. 30 or so years ago is when I moved away and kind of left the area. I'm in! Tomorrow afternoon going to the ride. Should see some guys I have not see in forever. In talking to him him it's more of a together than a ride now. Meet at a bar, bowl of chili, a drink and a little bar hopping. I guess everyone is getting old. I will probable be one of the youngsters there. Should be fun! Pics tomorrow.
