And I have to say, it looked like EVERY bike owner decided to go out today.. 218 was BUSY, probably 100 bikes just on that stretch of the road, most in groups of 5 or 6.

I was on Rt. 4 for about 2 miles today, and probably saw 50 bikes. It was a trip.

I drove up to Charlotte Hall today and saw many, many bikes out there :yay:

I also heard that a biker hit a deer in front of the McKay's Shopping Center in Charlotte Hall and had to be flown out :ohwell:

It was a beautiful day today.

I added to my list of...

...dumbazz stuff that makes people laugh.


For fear of a certain person that warned me of me being a dumbazz today being a forum member, I'm making an effort to beat her to the punch, and to warn all others on here of a possble catostrophe.

So, I was on St Mary's lake fishing till about 3ish. Awesome day on the lake. I even boated a fish, and missed a few more. BUT my day just wouldn't have been complete without a bike ride. So I haul tail home, and throw the cover off the Springer. I run upstairs, grabbed the keys, and grabbed a screw driver on the way back outside.

Fire it up. Bwaah bwa bwa bwa or as you might other wise recognize it ..."hundred-dolla hundred-dolla hundred-dolla..."

Fired up, sounds great, adjusted the idle screw, blipped the throttle a few times to check for dead spots, as this will be the maiden run after installing the new pipes, heads, cam and pushrods.

Sounded good. Idled good.. No leaks. Fantastic! Run back inside, tie on the boots, grab the leather jacket, helmet, gloves and I'm off to the gas station. I pull out of my driveway, make a right, roll to the stopsign and notice the car that I was waiting for to go by so that I could pull out, slowed WAY down and looked HARD. Dayum...I must REALLY look good, eh? :cool:

Off I go. I pull in behind her, and down the road we go. Around one corner, around two corners, long straight away so I gun it a little and dayum the bike sounded good. REALLY good seat of the pants feel.

As I come up to the next corner there is a line crew working...ah, they see me coming . Chick comes out, points and yells something...dunno.... I just smile and wave sorta and keep going...on around the corner. Check the mirrors and :yikes: What the h... Just then the woman in front of me slows down and pulls over.

:lmao: Remember that motorcycle cover I so very quickly threw off? It followed me. It hooked on my rear turn signal and was dragging along...bout 12 feet behind me. Then it hit me.... "Ooooohhhhh... that's what they were... crap."

:lol:

Got the cover back to the house, and off I go again. Bike ran awesome all the way to the gas station. On the way to the g/f's house to show off though, I sunk a lifter. Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap... Fudge.

Should be an easy fix. I don't think there's any damage done, but I'll find out this week. i retired the Springer early for the night and jumped on the Buell. Dayum...I do like that Buell. :biggrin:

About 125 around St. Marys and Calvert. What a nice day.

I took my Sportster about 120 miles! Went from Waldorf over to Prince Frederick and then up to Annapolis and back again. Great Day to RIDE!


Sucks about the rider that hit the deer though.

The rider or the deer??

kIDDING.. KIDDING.. I hope all turns out well too.

Did pass by an azz on 234, I was on the way home, he was on his way to 301. He's on a rice rocket laid down on the tank, he had to be doing 120, probably more. Probably be reading about him soon.

THREE incidents (not close calls) where people were too busy talking on their cell phones to use their turn signals or check their mirrors.

Did see one guy in a white pickup truck on GMR bounce both of his right side tires off of the curb, then cut across all lanes of traffic to take a left into Wa Wa..

Got to watch 218....according to some sources there is a very old slow dog that walks in the middle of that road....and apparently doesn't give a flying crap about motorcycles

NICE JOB DUMB AZZZZZZZZ! What you get for making fun of those idiots before you left work the other day. Could have gotten ugly if the cover caught up to you. Glad all you looked was dumb
