What a Great Day! I get up in the morning, do a little wrenching on old 'Daisy' (my 72 shovelhead) then head over to my friend's house to have him do a last minute check on my clutch and Off I Go to Blazin' Bill's.
The sun was out and the weather was perfect for riding.
I left Conneaut around 11:00 a.m. and go West on I-90 to Blazin' Bill's and there are cops EVERY FREAKING WHERE!!!! I guess they thought World War 3 was gonna start. I am surprised they didn't have the FBI there (or maybe they did) Who knows?
Anyway... I get to the party and this is what I found..............

That's All Folks! The bands were wonderful and I heard everyone had a great time.... I wish I could have stayed longer to take pictures of everyone partying but it was getting late and I needed to head for home. I rode in from Conneaut, OH all by my lonesome and as it was........I killed "Thumper" on the way home. (Nearly hit a deer, also on I-90) Yah, another road fatality. Talk about a "Thump" when I hit the poor little fella. No wonder they named him "Thumper". :-) I thought about stopping and strapping him to my luggage rack like a trophy but I really don't think there was much left of him. I just kept on going.

"Run Stops" at RIDE SAFE & RIDE FREE |
