Mel
I'm only playing cause I know you know it is just a joke. Your riding has improved greatly since the first time we rode together. remember It"s all about the fun. Take nothing I say personally unless it is a compliment.

Hey is anyone going to get the free $20 gift card from HRHD on Sat? I'm gonna go do it then ride.
P.S. I have a nice cruising route; the only problem is a limited number of twisties.
What's the word for Sat morning? I want to see this bada$$ reservoir ride. |

No worries Mike.... I've got thick skin!
Dave...Midnight is still the time. Glad to hear you chiming in... I was beginning to get worried. Bring straps! Man you missed a good ride last weekend.
Kev...what happened with the chick you were riding with? Was the route (and view  ) good? |

Bummer man, you guys gonna ride the Reservoir? Note to self; no more volunteering to switch schedules at work...
Kmfw, the route is a good time however thats coming a newbie to the sport of twisties. I got excited at the hills but had to remember I had slick tires and not knobbies....LOL I would describe it this way, scenic, challenging(to me), some bumps and an excellent place to goof off (wheelies, burnouts) no PoPo.  |

Mel,
I know I've been a little quite, but I have been doing a little traveling and planning to make sure that my wife gets out of town. Anyway, I have straps (2 to wrap around the handle bars, 2 for each side and on for the rear. I will be good. I got a one day pass to go riding so I am going to save it for a good weekend in May or June. But I hope to make it up in GA next week. I am going to sleep until around 10 or 11 that day and then head to the airport. Let me know if you two still need my cell phone #. |

Well KMFW likes to ride then stop for a cold one. I'm down as long as I have accessible brewhas.

I rode with a buddy last week in a big circle.
Started at Yorktown pub. Went down the parkway to the ferry into surry. Rode down HWY 10 to the bridge and came home. No real twisties but it was a pleasant ride. |

New tires make us all Superbikers!
BTW,
We have voted(all 2 of us, Matt and me),
that the little bridge on Jolly Pond Rd, the narrow/pot-holed/pos bridge with the JUMP....
..is now and forever known as...
Melvin's Bridge
(we didn't actually go there today, but it was mentioned) |

(I just had to sneak back over there and get me one...ok, three ) |

are you effin' serious?!?!?! i would not eat those things if they paid me to eat them. they remind me of the greasy corn dogs on the heat-rollers at 7-ll..... but if we got a cash pool going, i might consider trying to keep it down for at least 15 minutes. 
and why would you ride over there when you could just as easily gone back to pierce's for some deeeeelicious pulled-MF'n-pork sammiges!!
oh yesss, them's damn tasty!
sorry we didn't meet up with matt (04blaster), and melvin.
i called you like 18 times! 
riding is more fun with more decisive people. me and frank, and my wife are all indecisive, we determined it's because we are sooooo cool.   i think we spent more time at the pit stops than actually on the road. |

Yea but we are so cool, we stopped for no reason at all.
Not even for heat-lamp-fried pork chops. |

but i left the toilet seat up, and gave a ungrateful look to the gas station attendant. it's just my "devil-may-care" attitude..... |

Thanks guys... someone once offered to sell me a bridge, but no one ever named one after me before! 
Todd... it was cool seeing you out on the road today. My wife was like... "What, are you going to run him off the road?" |

Matt,
Got a question, on your pic you have the touring seat, how do you like that thing? I am thinking about getting it to help cool my seat off a little, but wasn't to sure about it. Any info would be nice.

Mel, dude that was cool seeing you on 64, my nephew and I were doing a Hooters run to all the Hooters on Peninsula to get his Hooters passports stamped.
This afternoon was a nice ride, we swapped bikes and I know why I dont ride a crotch rocket. I thought a V-twin vibrated, try 4 pistons under your pants on the highway. NOT! 3 Hooters = 3 pee stops. LOL Mel I got my "Eye of Thunder" patch and the Buell Pegasus patch. To Cool Happy Easter Ya'll

If we named a bridge for Mel, will we have to rename the reservoir ride the New Kent County TT
note the reference of Ago's Leap from the IOM (Isle of Mann) |
