Well for anyone interested there is the Mid Atlantic Bike Show at the
Richmond, Va Convention Center next weekend January 24th & 25th, then
January 30th - Feb 1st is the 21st Annual Baltimore International
Motorcycle Show at the Baltimore Convention Center. Took Daisy for a
brisk ride in the nice 36 degree weather yesterday. Got some really
strange looks and lot's of thumbs up from folks while I was out. Stopped

at a local bike shop to get the inspection done and I was the ONLY one
riding there! A bunch of guys came in wearing their club colors, but
they all got out of a TRUCK! So what is the purpose of displaying your
club colors if your not RIDING your BIKE? I guess it's just too easy to
jump in the car nowdays and fire up the heater.

Saw a guy come into the store the other week, luckily the one day that
week I was able to ride the Guzzi to work.....he was like a caricature
of "the biker image" from his hair to his studded engineer boots.
Tattoos, ragged levi vest, chain belt and wallet fob, chrome wraparound
shades, patches, colors, fingerless gloves; and got into a 1990 Ford
Taurus when he left. I guess in his mind, I was some sort of fairy for
wearing a plain Tourmaster nylon/kevlar jacket.
