My view of the world

I finally got to ride up to San Pedro for a friend’s birthday party and I’m glad I don’t do that very often.
On the open road, it felt good to get out, but, in and around town, the idiots ruled the road. You would think that the other drivers would notice a couple of old school Harleys, complete with loud pipes, but they ignored our turn signals (hand), they cut us off when they changed lanes and pulled out of parking lots directly in front of us, like they didn’t see us at all. I guess, in a world full of suvs we’re just not big enough to be considered a threat.
Except for a couple of pit stops, we rode straight through, got there, partied for a day or so, got a couple of hours sleep and rode back.
It felt good to see old friends and to get out on the road, but I’m getting too damn old to do the, ride all night, party all day, ride back, sleep for a few hours and then get up and go to work routine, and on top of that, my butt hurts.
It’s hard for me to believe, that a long time ago, I actually made the Iron Butt run on a ‘64 panhead.

The weather is great in the valley this time of year, it’s in the nineties during the day, but it’s in the seventies at night. We went north and across so we had a couple of high spots to cross and they were cold, but not freeze your butt off cold, we even managed to avoid any rain.
It’s definitely a great time of year for riding.
