I just got back from a motorcycle awareness ride sponsored by the base I work at. Was a pretty cool ride, looked to be about 450-500 bikes in all. We rode across base, picked up more bikes from the off base motorcycle community than through the surrounding towns and then back to the base. We had around 30 motorcycle cops and we never had to put our feet down once. All makes and models of bikes getting along together. Martin Luther "Road" King would have been proud.

They usually do it at least once a year to kick off the riding season/101 critical days of summer. But as you know with all the wonderful weather we have been having here, the riding season may not start until July.Current Rides: '82 XJ w/Jardine 4-1's, GIVI flyscreen, '97 Triumph Trophy 1200
