I checked the menu ("wutdayeatdair" - as they say in the SC Piedmont). Might be worth a jaunt down while I'm down that way at rally time. Blues B good 2.

Hold your breath waiting for the BA.com patch. It will arrive only after you have forgotten you ordered it. (but worth the wait once it arrives)

Dang that's a long haul from Hiram...especially on a week night, I hate the perimeter, and the whole I-85 / 316 thing, my least favorite part town...simply cant get there from Hiram until after like 8 or 9 at night, hate sitting in I-85 North traffic gridlock....lets see, what else can I find to cry about? Oh yeah, I HATE Wednesdays....

And good food and good times were had by all. In the end it was atpeacewithbonnie(Wade), LynchPhoto(Gordon) and a coworker (Tom), my wife and me. Probably 300 bikes and around 400 people. Near as I could tell 5 or 6 Triumphs, a scrambler, A Thruxton, a couple Daytonas, Gordo's Speedmaster (which, notably is hard to see and appreciate in the dark, being black) and my Blue and White America (Vera Lynn II). Lots of door prizes, but the big winner of the night was Wade, who got all the Harley stuff that everyone else won because his better half rides a Harley.
I did remember that I had a camera, too late, after Gordon and Tom had gone, but did get a shot or two of Wade and I, which I will post when the photopost comes back.
If you are in the neighborhood on a Wed. night, it is worth stopping in (please note that this is only to avoid the prepositional ending).

Thom, glad I finally got to meet your better half. Wade, great to meet you and share a meal and some B.S.. Thanks for making the drive. Tom and I really enjoyed ourselves. It is good to have a bike nite close to the house, was a bit chilly on the way home in a perforated jacket. Oh and the food was really good too!! All in all, good times... ride safe.... Gordon

Stop and go for 15 miles? That's what we make berms and those gaps between cars for!

Also, of course, there are hundreds of alternate routes, but one has to know them to make use of them. I traversed the same distance from nearly the same point and only sat at one light and one stop sign. Easy enough since it is my home turf, but when you do not know, the clogged arteries it is.
